Greenlight for Visual Studio

Veracode Greenlight for Visual Studio performs security scans at the file level. For project-level scans, run a Static Analysis in the Veracode Platform. In Visual Studio 2019 and 2022, all extensions are available from the Extensions menu.

Greenlight uses these signed certificates: downloads.veracode.com and api.veracode.com.
