What Snyk does

Snyk is a developer-first application security platform that integrates security testing directly into the software development lifecycle. As AI-generated code increases the volume and risk of vulnerabilities, Snyk positions itself as an AI security layer for securing code, open-source dependencies, containers, and the AI components developers now build with. The platform is built around its DeepCode AI engine.

Key capabilities

Snyk consolidates several AppSec products: Snyk Code (static analysis of source code as it is written), Snyk Open Source (vulnerable and license-risky dependency management), Snyk Container (base image scanning), Snyk IaC (infrastructure-as-code misconfiguration fixes), and Snyk API & Web for dynamic application security testing. It offers risk-based prioritization and remediation guidance inside developer workflows and CI/CD pipelines.

Who it's for

Snyk serves developers who want security embedded in their tooling, security teams needing governance and prioritization, and CISOs seeking enterprise-wide visibility. It is used to secure AI-generated code, consolidate AppSec tooling, and accelerate vulnerability remediation across cloud-native development.
