How It Works **Close the Loop** from Detection to Verified Remediation 01 ### Detect Analyze human- and AI-generated changes as they are created. Developer Assist identifies risk across application code, dependencies, malicious packages, IaC, secrets, and containers. 02 ### Fix & Safe Refactor Provide security-specific remediation grounded in the finding and surrounding code. Depending on the workflow, Developer Assist can guide the change, propose a reviewable fix, or support autonomous remediation. 03 ### Verify Rescan changed code to confirm the original issue is no longer present. A fix is not complete just because the code compiles or appears reasonable. 04 ### Repeat In supported autonomous workflows, Developer Assist can return the finding to the coding agent and retry remediation before risky work continues. In developer-led workflows, developers review and accept changes before verification. ## FAQ How long does the Developer Assist trial last?
