Fixing Security Flaws in Spring Boot Applications with IntelliJ IDEA and Snyk

We all love Spring Boot. It enables us to create awesome applications quickly with the latest versions of all the libraries. But our work doesn't end when we've created our applications. We are also responsible for ensuring it remains free from security vulnerabilities. In this session, we will take a look at how to find and fix vulnerabilities, including those that can be introduced via the open-source libraries we include in our application, from within IntelliJ IDEA. Staying secure does not need to be difficult.

It's very good plugin but why do I need to register to just use it? Does it send my code outside to scan vulnerabilities?
