IRVINE, CA, DECEMBER 15, 2020<\/b> \u2014 <\/span>Today, API security leader and creator of the industry\u2019s first API Firewall, 42Crunch, announced the release of new IDE OpenAPI (Swagger) editing plugins for both <\/span>Eclipse<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>JetBrains family<\/span><\/a> of IDEs including IntelliJ and PyCharm.<\/span><\/p>\n

42Crunch\u2019s free OpenAPI security audit plugins simplify REST API development by delivering features such as OpenAPI navigation, code snippets, intellisense, and HTML preview. More importantly, the plugins help developers take their API security to the next level by delivering audit reports right to the developer\u2019s IDE. Thus, engineers discover and address security vulnerabilities as early as API design and development time.<\/span><\/p>\n

APIs are projected to be the number one attack vector by 2022. Transition to cloud-native architectures, microservices, and serverless functions led to the proliferation of APIs. Companies now have thousands of APIs: constantly changing and network-accessible, thus representing the new, vastly expanded attack surface.<\/span><\/p>\n

Research shows that detecting and fixing vulnerabilities during production or post-release time is 30 times more difficult than earlier in the API lifecycle. By taking a shift-left approach and addressing API security during design time, companies will establish and maintain the security of their systems while staying agile and delivering business requirements \u2013 this starts with developers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c42Crunch\u2019s mission is to provide API security technology for each stage of the API lifecycle from design, to development, to testing, to runtime protection and monitoring,\u201d says Dmitry Sotnikov, Chief Product Officer at 42Crunch. \u201cBy bringing API security audit right into developers\u2019 IDEs of choice, we are making API security easier. Developers get actionable security advice within their development environment and are thus enabled to improve the security of their product.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Eclipse<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>IntelliJ\/PyCharm<\/span><\/a> extensions both add rich support for the OpenAPI Specification (Swagger) in JSON or YAML format and allow developers to:<\/span><\/p>\n
