What is Snyk?
Snyk is a cloud-based application security and testing platform that helps enterprises discover and fix vulnerabilities across open source libraries, containers, or codes throughout the development process. The platform allows developers to test projects directly from the Git repository and monitor them for new issues, while IT professionals can add automated Snyk tests to CI/CD pipelines to prevent vulnerabilities from obstructing the application building process. Users can determine the dependency path through which vulnerabilities are introduced and prioritize them based on a built-in scoring system. Snyk also offers runtime monitoring, reporting, exploitability indicators, alerts, and the ability to detect newly deployed and updated workloads in Kubernetes clusters, find potential risky settings, and monitor issues using an auditable inventory. The platform integrates with various third-party platforms, including JIRA, Jenkins, GitHub, and GitLab, and provides IDE plugins to help developers perform real-time testing and resolve issues within their workflows. Additionally, Snyk's semantic analysis feature allows testers to process codes in bulk, track modified patterns, and recognize security issues along with metadata
