Snyk

Developer-first security is the focus of this platform, which helps organizations use open source software safely. The company says its tools find and fix vulnerabilities and license violations in open source dependencies and container images. Its findings draw on a proprietary vulnerability database maintained by a security research team in Israel and London.

Security checks inside developer tools

Developers can see security issues as they write code in their editor, with fix recommendations shown beside the code. For repositories, the platform scans projects, prioritizes vulnerabilities across code and the infrastructure that runs it, and can open automatic fix pull requests so that repairs can be applied with a single action.

Container images and build pipelines

Container image scanning shows how many vulnerabilities come with a base image, how to fix them and which alternative images may be safer. Security checks can be added directly into continuous integration and deployment pipelines, so teams can ship without adding a separate review stage that slows delivery.

Securing AI-generated code and agents

The newest part of the offer is an AI security platform. The company argues that AI-generated code now makes up a large share of production software and often contains vulnerabilities, and that AI agents write code, call tools and commit changes without a security checkpoint. Snyk says its platform checks AI-generated code, governs development agents and secures AI-native applications. It also aims to give security teams an inventory of the models, workflows and agents running in production.

Scope and approach

The platform covers static application security testing, software composition analysis, container security and infrastructure as code. The company describes itself as the only solution that proactively finds and fixes vulnerabilities and license issues in open source dependencies and Docker images, and says the approach gives developers and security teams a shared view of risk.
