Announcing a Dedicated Snyk API & Web Infrastructure Instance for Asia-Pacific

Snyk is delighted to announce a significant milestone for our customers and partners in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region: the launch of a dedicated Snyk API & Web infrastructure instance, which is now available and hosted locally within the region. This investment addresses the critical needs of our growing customer base in the region, ensuring that they can benefit from our modern, developer-first DAST capabilities while meeting local data residency and compliance requirements.

As organizations across Asia-Pacific continue to innovate, navigating the complexities of regional data sovereignty regulations becomes an ever more pressing priority. Storing and processing data within specific geographic boundaries is no longer just a best practice: it's more than often a legal and regulatory necessity.

With this new dedicated infrastructure, Snyk API & Web customers in APAC can now ensure their scan data resides within the region, simplifying compliance with local data privacy laws and corporate governance policies. This allows security and development teams to focus on what they do best: building and securing great software, with the confidence that their data handling aligns with regional requirements.

While our primary goal was to address data residency, this initiative also brings a welcome performance boost, with reduced latency for customers in the region.

Securing the new era of AI-driven development, now closer to you

The announcement comes at a crucial time. As noted by IDC's Katie Norton when commenting on Snyk's addition of DAST to its roster of Application Security methods, "The rapid rise of gen AI applications has introduced new challenges in AppSec, particularly around the APIs that power these systems". The AI-generated and ever-expanding attack surface requires modern DAST solution that can keep up in terms of speed and depth. Snyk API & Web was designed for this new era, and now, it's more accessible than ever for our Asia-Pacific customers.

Snyk API & Web provides a true Shift Left DAST experience, allowing teams to find and fix runtime vulnerabilities accurately and efficiently, with seamless integration into every step of the SDLC. Our developer-friendly approach ensures you can manage the new risks introduced by AI without slowing down innovation.

As a quick reminder of Snyk API & Web's main capabilities, that are now hosted within the region:

1. Reduced noise with high accuracy: Our DAST engine with a near-zero false positive rate of 0.08%, which helps build developer trust and ensures teams focus on fixing real, exploitable threats.

2. Advanced protection for modern apps: Comprehensive detection for complex, API-rich applications built on microservices and modern architecture tenets that legacy DAST often misses.

3. Continuous and actionable security: Robust, API-first design that enables seamless integration and automation, while providing actionable remediation advice to developers when and where they need it.

Innovating for the future of AI-driven AppSec for AI-generated risk

Our commitment to the Asia-Pacific region goes hand-in-glove with our commitment to keep on innovating. Our promise is that our customers in the region will directly benefit from the new, state-of-the-art capabilities we'll keep on introducing, as our roadmap keeps pace with new, especially AI-driven attack vectors.

This includes our AI-powered BOLA detection, which uses Large Language Models to ascertain context that helps identify and find the #1 risk on the OWASP API Security Top 10; or our upcoming AI-driven SAST and DAST correlation, which paves the way for intelligent analysis that eventually links runtime exploits directly back to code, and provides much faster remediation.

The new infrastructure is a testament to our dedication to the Asia-Pacific market: we are excited to help organizations in the region build securely, at scale, faster than ever, with a DAST solution that is accurate, developer-friendly, and regionally compliant.
