Snyk

Snyk integrates with the following third-party applications: 

• GitHub
• Jira software
• Atlassian Compass
• Claude
• Google - Gemini Code Assist
• Slack software

How Does Snyk Work? 

Here's how you can get started with Snyk software after logging in: 

• Connect your Git repository or import your project via the Snyk CLI to start scanning 
• Let Snyk automatically scan code, open source dependencies, container images, and infrastructure as code for vulnerabilities 
• Review findings in the dashboard, where each issue is ranked by severity and risk score 
• Apply one-click fixes where available, or follow the remediation guidance to patch the issue manually 
• Install the Snyk IDE plugin to catch vulnerabilities as you write code, before any commit is made 
• Integrate Snyk into your CI/CD pipeline to automatically block builds that contain high-severity vulnerabilities 
• Use Snyk Learn for in-line security education so developers understand each vulnerability and how to prevent it 
• Monitor projects continuously, with alerts triggered when new issues appear in existing dependencies 

Who Is Snyk For? 

Snyk software is suitable for a range of industries and sectors, including: 

• Technology and software 
• Financial services 
• Insurance 
• Government 
• Healthcare 

Snyk Use Cases 

Based on our analysis of Snyk features, we have identified key scenarios where the platform is a strong fit for development and security teams: 

Development Teams That Only Find Security Issues After Code Has Already Reached Production 

Vulnerabilities found after shipping are far more expensive to fix than ones caught during development. Without security checks built into the workflow, teams are always reacting rather than preventing. Snyk may suit teams that want to shift security earlier, scanning inside the IDE and CI/CD pipeline before code is ever merged. Reviewers in industries like insurance note that catching issues at the pipeline stage gives them enough lead time to fix problems before they become production concerns. 

Teams Whose Security Tool Is Too Complex For Developers To Act On 

When a security scanner surfaces findings that only a security engineer understands, issues pile up and never get resolved. Developers need fix guidance in the tools they already use, not in a separate portal they rarely open. Snyk is built for developer adoption, with remediation steps and one-click fixes available where the code lives. Users coming from enterprise-grade scanners describe the transition as straightforward, with findings that developers can interpret and resolve on their own without security expertise. 

Engineering Teams Struggling To Keep Open Source Dependencies Secure Across A Large Codebase 

Open source packages introduce vulnerabilities that teams often do not hear about until a public CVE is announced. At scale, tracking dependency health manually across dozens of projects is not practical. Snyk monitors dependencies automatically and sends alerts when new vulnerabilities appear in packages already in use. Per the Skyscanner case study, the platform lets developers take ownership of security rather than routing every finding through the security team. 

Solo Developers And Small Teams With No Dedicated Security Function 

Smaller teams rarely have a security engineer, which means vulnerabilities often go unnoticed unless someone is actively looking for them. Manual code review for security does not scale and depends on whoever is reviewing the code at a given moment. Snyk's automated scanning and regular email reports give solo developers a way to stay on top of issues passively. Those using it for freelance and small team work say it syncs with GitHub and surfaces vulnerability reports passively, without requiring manual scans or constant oversight. 

Is Snyk Right For You? 

Snyk may be a good fit for software development and security teams that want security checks built into the development workflow from the moment code is written. It is designed to work inside the tools developers already use rather than as a separate step at the end of the process. 

Organizations like Skyscanner, CVS Health, and NYSE are among the users of this software, pointing to adoption across travel, healthcare, and financial services at enterprise scale. 

The broader application security market is responding to a significant shift: AI-assisted coding is generating code faster than traditional security tooling was built to handle. Snyk has moved to address this with its AI Security Platform, Agent Security solution, and Evo AI-SPM, all designed to govern AI-generated code and autonomous agent workflows at the point of creation rather than after the fact. 

Snyk also holds ISO 27001, ISO 27017, and SOC 2 Type II certifications and is GDPR compliant. Customer code is not used for AI training. Regional data hosting is available across the US, EU, and Australia for teams with specific data residency requirements.
