DeepCode AI (now Snyk Code)
An AI-powered static code analysis tool that identifies critical security vulnerabilities and quality issues in code during development.
Price: Freemium
Description
DeepCode AI, which was acquired by Snyk and is now integrated into Snyk Code, helps developers and security teams automatically find and fix security vulnerabilities, bugs, and quality issues in their code. It's designed for software development teams, DevOps, and security professionals to integrate security earlier into the development lifecycle (Shift Left Security). Snyk Code, leveraging DeepCode's AI engine, stands out by providing real-time feedback in the IDE, offering contextual explanations for detected issues, and suggesting actionable fixes, making it more intelligent and developer-friendly than traditional static analysis tools. It focuses on proactive security and code quality.
