Tel Aviv, Israel – January 4, 2021 – WhiteSource, the leader in open source security and license compliance management software, today announced new WhiteSource Advise support for JetBrains’ PyCharm and WebStorm integrated development environments (IDEs). These new integrations provide PyCharm and WebStorm developers with real-time visibility and control on problematic open source components from within their preferred development environments.
