Snyk Code, the only security tool chosen by developers in Stack Overflow's 2024 AI Search and Developer Tools survey

0 minutos de leituraSnyk Code was the only code security tool shortlisted by developers as an AI tool they’ve been regularly using this past year or are looking forward to using next year in Stack Overflow’s recent 2024 AI Search and Developer Tools survey. This underlines Snyk’s dominance as the favorite AI security tool of both developers and security teams and confirms that Snyk Code is providing immense value to developers.
We at Snyk are particularly proud of this achievement because we pride ourselves on balancing the needs of both security and engineering teams. Being a developer-first security tool is not easy. We have to be thorough in our approach so security teams trust us, and easy to use in software development so that developers enjoy using us. Though important, security is not a core focus for developers, and it is not a subject that they are inherently comfortable with. Snyk has been doing our part to make it as easy as possible for developers to write safe code right from the beginning. We have been continuously elevating the experience from a developer viewpoint across our platform to make it effortless for engineers to create safe code while strengthening our industry-leading security standards. This is why being the only security tool trusted by developers is a strong validation of Snyk Code’s superior developer features and security standards.
Snyk has always had the developer experience at the forefront of our minds when we design our products. We do this because empowering developers to secure their code as they go along is the only sustainable way to scale security teams; because a great user experience leads to consistent usage and better security; and because in the age of AI, security that is fast, early, and doesn’t slow AI-assisted development down, is more important than ever before.
This is why Snyk Code runs in the IDE, giving developers the fastest and earliest security for their code. With nearly 2.5 times faster SAST scans than other tools and over-80%-accurate issue autofixes (automatic remediation of detected security issues) with a latency of mere seconds, we lead the market in AI-generated code security. But don’t just take it from us – Gartner, Forrestor, and customers recognize us as leaders in our category, and now the developer community has given us their stamp of approval as well in Stack Overflow’s 2024 AI Search and Developer Tools survey.
New, powerful capabilities for a pioneering AI security tool
Snyk Code boasts a 4.5-year history of using AI to power faster, more accurate, and more thorough vulnerability detection and remediation. This experience has resulted in more streamlined issue findings, user-friendly targeted automated reporting, and holistic, prioritized risk scores. Now, with Snyk AppRisk, security teams also enjoy an end-to-end, comprehensive view of their entire security program across different tools, getting the crucial visibility they need to ensure there are no security gaps and to monitor return on investment from tooling.
More recently, Snyk Code extended its protection to LLM sources within code and also released a host of improvements for its issue-autofixing feature, DeepCode AI Fix. DeepCode AI Fix empowers developers to proactively fix code vulnerabilities within the IDE in real time, with over 80% accuracy, and two clicks (once to choose from a few fix options and the second click to apply your preferred fix). First released a year ago, DeepCode AI Fix was amongst the very first autofixing features on the market, ensuring that this feature is battle-tested and market-leading in its precision.
In fact, Snyk’s continued commitment to innovation has resulted in yet another proprietary, patent-pending technology — CodeReduce. By helping to prioritize our AI machine’s focus, this technology has taken DeepCode AI Fix’s levels of accuracy and speed to new heights, also improving the performance of every AI model tested, including GPT-4, which had its accuracy enhanced by CodeReduce, by an astonishing 20%. More importantly, unlike other autofixing tools that require suggested fixes to be manually scanned by users after implementation, DeepCode AI Fix has its suggestions pre-checked by Snyk Code to make sure that no additional problems will be caused by the implementation of suggested fixes before such fixes are released to users.
Accurate fixes in seconds, not minutes, and no breaking changes caused by autofixes. Imagine that. Just click to implement, and go. Code, detect, and fix, all in the same flow.
An eye on the future
Snyk is constantly finding ways to keep developers moving and focused on building and advancing applications securely, not just maintaining them. We are building towards a future of deep personalization, impactful prioritization, and integrated, automatic workflows to help accelerate innovation safely. We have many exciting plans in our pipeline, and you can follow our blog to stay abreast of our cutting-edge developments at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity.
Don’t waste time on tedious remediation — click away vulnerabilities in real-time in your IDE, with battle-tested DeepCode AI Fix. Simply sign up for a free Snyk Code account, switch on Snyk Code Fix Suggestions in the Snyk Preview settings, and experience autofixing with over 80% accuracy.
