Snyk
Snyk is a developer security platform that helps find and fix vulnerabilities in code, dependencies, containers, and infrastructure as code.
Price: Freemium
Description
Snyk provides a comprehensive security solution for developers, integrating directly into their workflows to identify and remediate security vulnerabilities early in the software development lifecycle (SDLC). It scans code, open-source dependencies, container images, and infrastructure as code (IaC) configurations for known vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. Snyk is designed for development teams and security professionals who want to shift security left, making it an integral part of the development process rather than an afterthought. It differentiates itself by offering developer-first tools, actionable remediation advice, and extensive integration with popular development environments and CI/CD pipelines, leveraging AI/ML for vulnerability detection and prioritization.
How to Use
1.Integrate Snyk with your Git repository (e.g., GitHub, GitLab), IDE, or CI/CD pipeline.
2.Scan your projects for vulnerabilities in your code, dependencies, and containers.
3.Review the identified issues, which include severity ratings and remediation advice.
4.Apply suggested fixes, often through automated pull requests or patch recommendations.
5.Monitor your applications continuously for new vulnerabilities and policy violations.
