Snyk is a developer platform for finding and fixing security risks in code, dependencies, containers, and infrastructure.
Snyk was founded in 2015 by Guy Podjarny, Assaf Dahan, and Danny Grander to automate detection of known vulnerabilities in open-source dependencies.
Snyk analyzes manifests and source files, matches components against vulnerability intelligence, and prioritizes findings. Plugins and CI checks bring results into development; fixes update dependencies or mitigate code.
Dependencies are checked against known vulnerabilities and versions.
Software Composition Analysis assesses the provenance and risk of included components.
Automated suggestions help update vulnerable versions in a controlled way.
Snyk connects security to development workflows. Findings need version context, exploitability, license review, exception governance, and retesting; a finding is not yet a risk assessment.
