Ensuring Secure Code Development with CodeWhisperer

Lets see how CodeWhisperer enhances the security of your code −

Secure Coding Practices

CodeWhisperer gives suggestions for writing code that follows safe coding practices.

Whether it is about handling sensitive information or using secure APIs, CodeWhisperer helps developers avoid some common security mistakes such as injection attacks, buffer overflows, and mishandling user inputs.

Helps Prevent Vulnerabilities

Modern software can be complex, and if developers are not aware, vulnerabilities in the code can easily occur.

CodeWhisperer assists developers by identifying possible security issues while suggesting code. This feature helps ensure that your application is built with fewer vulnerabilities from the beginning which further lowers the chances of security problems in future.

Protection Against Malicious Code

CodeWhisperer also protects your project from the risk of malicious code being added into your project.

By recommending safe code patterns, it helps developers write code that is less likely to have vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting (XSS) or SQL injection. This extra layer of protection keeps your project safe from potential attacks.
