Black Duck Software has integrated its AI-powered tool, Black Duck Assist, into popular integrated development environments (IDEs) and AI code editors to enhance code security. Support now extends to IDEs like Eclipse and Visual Studio, while also being available in tools like Cursor and Windsurf. Real-time code analysis and vulnerability summaries can be provided without switching tools. The introduction of natural language queries simplifies the process. Patrick Carey emphasized the importance of an independent AI assistant to validate code quality, especially given the varying abilities of coding tools and developer expertise in cybersecurity.
Black Duck Assist now integrates with IDEs like Eclipse and Visual Studio, as well as AI code editors, to ensure software is free of vulnerabilities.
The integration allows developers to receive real-time suggestions for fixing vulnerabilities in code generated by AI tools without switching applications.
Patrick Carey stated that using different LLMs for coding and security validation is crucial to effectively identify potential code vulnerabilities.
The variability in code quality generated by LLMs and the expertise of developers poses a significant challenge, especially with increasing use of AI by citizen developers.
