Snyk Security Platform

Snyk is a developer security platform founded by Guy Podjarny, Peter McKay, and Danny Grander in 2015, headquartered in Boston and London, providing developer-first security tools for finding and fixing vulnerabilities in open-source dependencies, container images, infrastructure as code, and application code, integrating directly into the development workflow through IDE extensions, CLI tools, CI/CD pipelines, and Git repository integrations, adopted by over two thousand five hundred organizations including Google, Salesforce, Asurion, and MongoDB for their application security needs, with the company valued at over eight billion dollars. The open-source security scanning monitors project dependencies against a proprietary vulnerability database containing over three hundred thousand known vulnerabilities aggregated from the National Vulnerability Database, GitHub Advisory Database, and Snyk's own research, with the scanner identifying vulnerable packages in package-lock files for npm, pip for Python, Maven for Java, Gem for Ruby, Go modules, NuGet for .NET, and Composer for PHP, providing severity ratings, affected version ranges, and automated fix pull requests that upgrade vulnerable dependencies to safe versions. The container security scanning analyzes Docker images for vulnerabilities in operating system packages including Alpine, Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, and Amazon Linux, and language-level dependencies, with the scanning providing layer-by-layer vulnerability mapping that identifies which Dockerfile layers introduce vulnerabilities, enabling targeted fixes. The infrastructure as code scanning analyzes Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes manifests, and ARM templates for misconfigurations. The code security for custom application code. The license compliance checking. The integration with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps. Designed for development and security teams.
