Snyk is a developer-first security platform that uses AI to scan code, open-source dependencies, containers, and infrastructure-as-code for vulnerabilities, then provides actionable fix recommendations directly in the developer workflow. It integrates with IDEs, CI/CD pipelines, and code repositories to shift security left. Developers and DevSecOps teams use Snyk to catch CVEs in npm packages, identify insecure coding patterns, scan Docker images before deployment, and audit Terraform configurations for misconfigurations. Its AI-powered fix suggestions often include working code patches, not just vulnerability descriptions. Snyk processes over 1 billion scans monthly and maintains one of the most comprehensive vulnerability databases available. Its emphasis on developer experience has made it a default security layer for teams using GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps.
