Snyk

What is Snyk?

Snyk is an AI-native application security platform made by Snyk Ltd. that helps development teams identify, fix, and monitor vulnerabilities across code, dependencies, containers, and infrastructure-as-code throughout the software development lifecycle. The platform integrates directly into developer workflows and CI/CD pipelines, scanning for security issues during coding rather than waiting for post-deployment testing.

The core product includes multiple specialized scanning modules: Snyk Code detects application vulnerabilities and code quality issues using static analysis; Snyk Open Source identifies vulnerable dependencies in project libraries; Snyk Container secures container images and base layers; Snyk IaC fixes misconfigurations in infrastructure-as-code templates; and Snyk API & Web (DAST) performs dynamic testing on web applications and APIs. The platform prioritizes findings by risk level, helping teams focus remediation efforts on the most critical issues first. DeepCode AI, built into the platform, uses machine learning to provide contextual remediation guidance and can handle AI-generated code security specifically.

Snyk operates on a freemium model with free tier access for individual developers and small teams, while paid Team and Enterprise plans unlock advanced features, priority support, and reporting capabilities. The platform integrates with popular IDEs (VS Code, JetBrains), version control systems (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket), and CI/CD tools (Jenkins, CircleCI, Azure DevOps). According to the vendor, customers report 288% ROI, 80% faster scan times, and 75% faster remediation compared to prior solutions.

The platform serves developers at companies including Okta, Yalo, Revolut, and Seismic, with particular adoption among organizations prioritizing developer-first security and managing rapid AI-assisted code generation. Snyk maintains a public vulnerability database and offers free security education through Snyk Learn.
