IntelliJ IDEA + Sonatype Lifecycle

The integration between IntelliJ IDEA and Sonatype Lifecycle empowers development teams to shift security left by identifying vulnerabilities early in the software development life cycle (SDLC).

With the IntelliJ IDEA plugin, Sonatype Lifecycle automatically evaluates open source components against your organization’s policies. Developers stay informed about risks — such as security vulnerabilities or license issues — before pushing code or creating pull requests.
