Nowadays, developers are responsible for more than just creating the application. Besides working on features, developers have to focus on their applications' maintainability, scalability, reliability, **and** security. Many developers are unsure of where to start with security. In addition, most companies still work with a dedicated security team instead of having security expertise inside the team.

A lot of developers practically live in their integrated development environment (IDE). A good IDE is like a swiss army knife: it is your go-to tool to do almost everything. Having everything I need to build, run, test, debug, and**secure** my application, makes a good IDE invaluable for many developers.

From last year's [Snyk Java Ecosystem report](https://snyk.io/blog/intellij-idea-dominates-the-ide-market-with-62-adoption-among-jvm-developers), we know that IntelliJ IDEA is the most favorite and commonly used IDE in the Java landscape, for which Snyk has recently released a [new IntelliJ IDE vulnerability scanner plugin](https://snyk.io/blog/secure-coding-with-jetbrains-ide-plugin/).

Let's see how we can integrate security and secure development into IntelliJ IDEA using the new Snyk plugin!
