Security Intelligence

Advanced security intelligence throughout the SDLC

Snyk’s security intelligence empowers developers with the latest vulnerability data and actionable fixes in the tools and ecosystems they use.

Security intelligence across the SDLC

Snyk’s security intelligence combines public sources, data from the developer community, proprietary expert research, machine learning, and human-in-the-loop AI.

SNYK VULNERABILITY DATABASE

Industry-leading open source & container security

Our researchers hand-curate the Snyk Vulnerability Database with up-to-date security data and enriched metadata so you can accurately identify risk, learn about new open source and container vulnerabilities faster, and then fix them quickly with actionable context.

SNYK CODE KNOWLEDGE BASE

AI-powered speed and accuracy in code scans

With the help of DeepCode AI, Snyk security experts maintain an extensive knowledge base full of vulnerable code patterns and suggested fixes so developers can remediate their code in real time with in-line fix advice right from their IDE.

UNIFIED POLICY ENGINE

Codified rules and policies across IaC configs

Snyk researchers convert policies, standards, and leading best practices into policy as code. Then, they apply them to a variety of use cases, like AWS, Azure, Terraform, and more, so you can keep your ecosystems and IaC secure from pre-deployment through runtime.

Node-gyp Supply Chain Compromise: A Self-Propagating npm Worm That Hides in binding.gyp

A new npm worm is abusing binding.gyp to trigger node-gyp during install, letting malicious packages run code without lifecycle scripts. It steals credentials, persists in GitHub, and self-propagates across maintainers.
