Fortify has released the Security Assistant Plugin for IntelliJ IDEA. The Fortify Security Assistant utilizes purpose-built structural and configuration analyzers to quickly identify and alert on potential security issues as you write your code. The plugin provides detailed information about security risks and recommendations for how to fix the detected security issues. You can also examine your entire project and then review the possible security issues directly within the IDE.

Fortify Security Assistant works with a portion of the Fortify security content to provide alerts to potential security issues as you write your code. Fortify Security Assistant provides detailed information about security risks and recommendations for how to secure the potential issue.

Fortify Security Assistant includes both structural and configuration analyzers to detect:

• Potentially dangerous uses of functions and APIs
• Insecure application configurations in property and XML files
