About Snyk
Snyk is a developer security platform that integrates directly into developer workflows to secure code, open-source dependencies, containers, and cloud infrastructure as code (IaC). Founded in 2015 by Guy Podjarny, Danny Grander, and Assaf Hefetz, Snyk pioneered developer-first security by shifting application security from late-stage audits directly into modern IDEs and CI/CD pipelines.
Powered by DeepCode AI and a comprehensive proprietary vulnerability intelligence database, Snyk provides automated pull request fix suggestions, automated software bills of materials (SBOMs), and real-time security scanning that developers willingly adopt, protecting millions of applications across global engineering organizations.
