What is Snyk?

Snyk is a developer security platform that enables application and cloud developers to secure their whole application — finding and fixing vulnerabilities from their first lines of code to their running cloud.

The Snyk platform

Secure your proprietary code, open source dependencies, container images, and cloud infrastructure all from a single, unified platform.

Snyk enables developers to fix security issues quickly

Snyk is everywhere you are, providing actionable fix advice right from the tools and workflows you already use.

Industry-leading security intelligence

Snyk security researchers augment their expertise with advanced ML and human-in-the-loop AI so we can provide the most accurate, timely and comprehensive intelligence on the market. This security intel is the foundation of our platform, spanning the Snyk Intel Vulnerability Database, the Snyk Code knowledge base, and our Cloud/IaC unified policy engine.

Easy integration throughout the SDLC

Snyk meets you where you are, weaving security expertise into your existing tools, so you can find and fix vulnerabilities right from your IDEs, repos, pipelines, container registries, and more.

Risk-based security across your enterprise

Reduce application risk at scale, with complete application discovery, tailored security controls, and risk-based prioritization.

Governance at scale

Snyk provides the flexible controls and visibility you need to standardize security and enforce best practices across your applications without impeding development.

Snyk is where you are

Snyk integrates into the tools and workflows you already use, so you don't need to learn a new app to stay secure.

CLI

Run the Snyk CLI locally, or in your CI/CD pipeline to scan your projects for security issues, including security vulnerabilities and license issues.

IDE

Snyk builds security into your IDE, scanning your code, open source code, containers, and cloud for vulnerabilities and providing actionable fix advice.

Git

Snyk integrates with a variety of source control managers (SCMs) to help you track, monitor, and fix the issues and vulnerabilities in your code.

Container registries

With container registry integrations — like Docker Hub — you can easily choose a secure base image and ensure any tools and libraries they add are safe.

Snyk web UI

Centralize monitoring and implement governance and compliance with dashboards, policies, and reports.

Marketplaces

Implement Snyk from a variety of third-party marketplaces, like those from AWS, Azure, Atlassian, JetBrains, GitHub, and more.
