Mend.io and JetBrains Partner to Bring Enhanced Code Security to Developers

At Mend.io, we’re passionate about code security. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with JetBrains that integrates Mend.io’s robust security solutions directly into JetBrains IDEs and Qodana environments. With the help of Mend.io, JetBrains users will now have access to robust Software Composition Analysis (SCA) and malicious package detection. 

Why JetBrains?

JetBrains is a trusted name in the developer community, offering a wide range of IDEs and tools for various programming languages. With over 18 million developers and 300,000 organizations using their products, JetBrains has established itself as a leader in enhancing developer productivity and streamlining workflows.  

Mend.io secures open-source code for JetBrains users

Trusted by some of the biggest tech companies in the world, including Microsoft, Google, and Comcast, Mend.io is helping JetBrains users build mature and proactive AppSec programs. JetBrains users now benefit from the advanced capabilities of Mend SCA, such as advanced reachability analysis, risk-based prioritization, license compliance support, and Software bill of materials (SBOM). 

Mend.io’s malicious package detection helps JetBrain’s users identify and remove malicious packages that are intentionally designed to cause harm.  By preventing commits with malicious dependencies, Mend.io protects users from using harmful packages.  

“We’re excited to partner with JetBrains and bring additional support to their user base with Mend.io’s powerful SCA tools. Now JetBrains users will be able to ensure that their applications are more secure with prioritized, actionable insights into their codebase, allowing them to quickly remediate any vulnerabilities,” said Rami Sass, CEO at Mend.io.

Essential benefits for JetBrains’ users

The partnership between JetBrains and Mend.io will benefit users in numerous ways. As the Software Development Life Cycle has accelerated significantly in the past few years, partnering with Mend.io allows JetBrains users to code efficiently but with less risk. 

With the help of Mend.io, JetBrain’s Package Checker will keep your code secure with these features:

• Dependency Scanning: Identifies vulnerabilities and threats in third-party dependencies, including harmful NPM and PyPl packages

• Safe Updates: Mend SCA suggests the most secure version of dependencies, allowing for quick and easy vulnerability remediation, as well as preventing commits with malicious dependencies 

• Smooth IDE Integration: Issues can be seen within the editor, including detailed information and analysis without leaving your IDE

We look forward to assisting JetBrains users in developing the most secure applications possible.

Make sure to update your tools so you can utilize the new features that Mend will be bringing to JetBrains IDEs and Qodana!
