But with exponential growth comes exponential risk, as outnumbered security teams struggle to secure mountains of code. This is where Snyk (pronounced “sneak”) comes in. Snyk is a developer security platform that makes it easy for development teams to find, prioritize, and fix security vulnerabilities in code, dependencies, containers, and cloud infrastructure — and do it all right from the start. Snyk is on a mission to make the world a more secure place by empowering developers to develop fast and stay secure.

What We Do

Snyk leads the category of developer security, whereby development, security, and operations teams effectively collaborate to integrate security throughout the entire software development lifecycle. This approach has disrupted the legacy cybersecurity market, transitioning the industry away from slow, burdensome cybersecurity approaches.

Snyk is the trusted partner of the world’s most innovative enterprises for modern application security, empowering every organization to develop fast and stay secure. We leverage AI-powered security intelligence and automation to reliably secure code from the start—extending the unique shift-left security they pioneered, to built-in governance and holistic risk management—so that companies can unite development and AppSec teams to unleash developer productivity, reduce risk, and accelerate software delivery as they embrace DevOps, cloud, and now AI.

The only way to deliver secure applications at the speed of modern, AI-powered development is to bring security and developers together. This means giving developers real-time security tools that integrate directly into their existing tools and workflows, and giving security teams the controls and insights to view applications holistically. When security becomes a seamlessly integrated part of the development lifecycle, applications can be delivered quickly and securely.
