Security for AI-generated and developer-written code

Broad vulnerability detection with unrivaled ability to find deeply hidden security issues analysis for all code: open source, developer-written, and AI-generated.

Actionable, highly precise results

Receive clear reports at the right place and time. Maximize your impact with high precision, fast analysis that helps you focus on real issues, less on false positives.

Start left by fixing issues in the IDE

Find and remediate issues in real-time as you code with SonarQube for IDE. When connected to SonarQube Cloud, your coding policies are followed in the IDE.

Automatic analysis

Start reviewing and improving your code right away. Get instant results from the first code analysis with no extra configuration needed for most languages.

Integrated with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Azure DevOps, and Bitbucket Pipelines to automate code reviews and show code health status where you work.

Flexible and performant

Deploy your way, on-prem, in the cloud, as a server, with Docker, or with Kubernetes. Multi-threading, multiple compute engines, and language-specific loading .

Unmatched accuracy

Industry-leading accuracy maximizes signal and minimizes noise while reducing time-draining work. Receive actionable code health metrics in minutes, not hours.

Fix early and fast

Find and remediate issues in real-time as you code with SonarQube for IDE. Follow your coding policies in the IDE when in connected mode with SonarQube.

Security for all code

Automate code vulnerability reviews for all code: open source, developer-written, and AI-generated. Unrivaled security detection uncovers hidden security.

Enforce your policies

Prevent code from reaching production that doesn't meet your policies with SonarQube quality gates. Eliminate issues in human-written and AI code, cutting remediation costs.

Ensure compliance

Perform automated code reviews as required by every compliance standard. SonarQube's detailed reports help you comply with common standards such as OWASP.

Advanced linter for better code quality and stronger security.

Start left and discover potential issues as early as possible in the development process. With SonarQube for IDE, linting is taken to an entirely new level, giving you the power to identify, understand, and fix code issues in real time while you code.

Become a better developer

SonarQube for IDE helps developers of all skill levels make better coding decisions. It works alongside you offering contextual knowledge & guidance designed to help you fix coding issues, uncover best practices, and learn along the way.

Real-time feedback

Your IDE is the best place to catch and fix coding issues, even in your AI-assisted code. Like a spell checker, SonarQube for IDE squiggles coding issues and enables you to create quality code that is secure by performing on-the-fly analysis to detect coding errors, bugs, and vulnerabilities.

Resolve issues quickly

Address coding issues instantly with SonarQube for IDE. Get contextual help right where you code, including explanations, risks, rule details, and code examples. See a diff view, apply quick fixes, or use AI-generated fixes: all designed to resolve issues fast.

Real-time analysis, guidance, and quick fixes

On-the-fly analysis provides instant feedback as you code. More than just a linter, SonarQube for IDE highlights coding flaws, even in your AI-assisted code, and explains why the issue is harmful and how to fix it. "Quick fixes" suggest solutions adapted to your specific code so you can automatically repair flagged issues in real time.

Unified team rules and analysis settings

Get coverage at every stage in your dev cycle—IDE to CI/CD and back, ensuring code fit for development and production. So much more than a linter, when 'connected' with SonarQube Server or SonarQube Cloud, rules and analysis settings are synchronized to SonarQube for IDE, aligning teams around a single standard of code quality and code security.

6,000+ rules covering wide range of code issues

Powerful language-specific analysis detects bugs, code smells, vulnerabilities plus security hotspots and supports latest language standards. The large ruleset spans all attributes that contribute to the quality and security of code.

Advanced Security

Developer-first security for your first-party, AI-generated, and open source code, powered by advanced SAST and integrated SCA

SAST

Detect code vulnerabilities, early in development

Taint analysis

Cross-file data flow analysis to prevent injection attacks

IaC scanning

Secure cloud infrastructure configurations

Secrets detection

Prevent exposure of credentials, tokens, and keys

CVE detection

Fix known vulnerabilities (CVEs) in open source code, prioritize issues by severity (CVSS) and exploitability (EPSS, KEV). Get vulnerability insights directly from the maintainer, understand which versions of the dependency are safe to use.

SCA

Comprehensive open source risk & compliance management, vulnerability detection, license management and SBOM (Software Bill of Materials).

Advanced SAST

Extends taint analysis to dependencies to uncover complex vulnerabilities like dependency-aware data flow analysis and vulnerabilities others miss.

License management

Automated license detection & validation, custom policy enforcement, and compatibility checks for corporate use.

How does Sonar address DORA?

Book a demo

Vulnerability and
patch management

Automatically assesses code for vulnerabilities and security flaws, helping to identify weaknesses across ICT resources. Sonar supports fix tracking and vulnerabilities status monitoring over time, in line with regulatory requirements for automated vulnerability scanning at least weekly for critical systems.

ICT systems acquisition, development, and maintenance

Supports source code review practices, including static application security testing (SAST), directly aligning with requirements that mandate measurable security practices for the development and maintenance of ICT systems. It enables code analysis, detection of anomalies and vulnerabilities, and the implementation of action plans for their remediation.

ICT change management

Helps verify that security requirements are met before implementing changes in ICT systems, as explicitly required in this article. Its code change tracking and automated tools ensure quality control and security of modifications. This provides traceability, accountability, and compliance with established security standards.
