INTEGRATED CODE QUALITY AND CODE SECURITY
Start with developer-led security
Build secure applications from the start by providing early, actionable insights to developers for both developer-written and AI-generated code.
TRUSTED BY OVER 7M DEVELOPERS AND 400K ORGANIZATIONS
The risks of not integrating security and code quality
When code security is evaluated after (and separate from) code quality, security vulnerabilities are discovered late in the development cycle, leading to costly delays and rework. If they are missed, they create opportunities for malicious actors. This "bolted-on" approach to security tools creates friction and fails to keep pace with modern development.
Late vulnerability discovery
Finding security issues just before release causes fire drills, missed deadlines, and increased risk.
Developer burden
Developers are often held responsible for security without adequate tools or training, disrupting their workflow with out-of-band reviews.
Varying security awareness
Without a consistent standard, security adherence varies widely across development teams and AI tools.
Hidden risks
Security vulnerabilities can hide in open-source dependencies, IaC configurations, or AI-generated source code, creating blind spots.
SonarQube’s developer led, integrated approach to security
SonarQube empowers a "shift-left" approach by integrating security directly into the development process. We help you build secure applications from the start by providing early, actionable insights to your developers.
Real-time security feedback
Get automated feedback on the latest security best practices before committing source code, preventing security vulnerabilities from the start.
Proactive vulnerability prevention
Move from a reactive to a proactive security posture, addressing issues when they are easiest and cheapest to fix.
Comprehensive security coverage
Go beyond your own code with analysis of open source libraries and IaC to secure your production environments.
ANS verifies code security with Sonar
Agence du Numérique en Santé, a digital health services provider, used SonarQube automated code review to improve their code quality and reduce their technical debt.
Key capabilities for developer-led security
Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) scanning
Helps you find and fix misconfigurations and security risks in your Terraform, Kubernetes, and Ansible files
Built-in reports for security standards
Generates reports for key security standards like OWASP Top 10, CWE Top 25, STIG, and PCI DSS
Software Composition Analysis (SCA)
Identifies risks from open-source dependencies and generates a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) (available with SonarQube Advanced Security)
Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
Detects vulnerabilities like injection flaws and security misconfigurations
Data flow / taint analysis
Identifies and eliminates injection vulnerabilities by tracking the flow of untrusted user data through your application
Detection of hard-coded secrets
Prevents accidental exposure of sensitive information like API keys, passwords, and tokens
Why choose SonarQube for integrated code quality and code security?
With the explosion of AI-generated content and open source reuse, the security surface for critical vulnerabilities has never been greater. Taking a robust developer-led security stance ensures that modern threats are identified and addressed as code is written, not after the fact.
Developer-led security
We empower developers with the tools they need to own security in their daily workflow.
Low false positives
Our highly accurate analysis ensures developers focus on real threats, not noise.
Platform-wide visibility
Get a consolidated view of the security health of all your code in a single place.
