Meterian Launches HEIDI Security Plugin for IDEs
Meterian has released HEIDI, a free security plugin for Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDEs designed to identify vulnerable open-source dependencies earlier in the development lifecycle.
Meterian has launched HEIDI, a free security plugin designed to integrate vulnerability scanning directly into the development environment. Available for Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDEs, the tool aims to shift security checks earlier in the software development lifecycle, moving away from late-stage pipeline scanning [Help Net Security].
The plugin is designed to identify vulnerable open-source dependencies within production applications. By providing real-time feedback and one-click upgrade suggestions directly within the editor, HEIDI enables developers to address security issues before code is committed or shipped, reducing the burden on CI/CD systems.
HEIDI is currently available through the OpenVSX registry. Organizations looking to improve their proactive security posture can leverage this tool to reduce the time and effort required to manage open-source risk, with nearly 5,000 installations already recorded [Help Net Security].
