Snyk provides a risk-based approach to application security, giving AppSec teams the context to focus on the vulnerabilities that matter most. Prioritize based on actual business impact and empower your developers to remediate the highest-risk issues first, without slowing down innovation.
Traditional prioritization methods based solely on static scores create endless backlogs and fail to address the actual risk to your business, leading to wasted effort and missed critical threats.
Scanners generate thousands of alerts, making it impossible for security and development teams to know where to start. A lot of these 'vulnerabilities' pose little to no real threat.
Traditional tools report on technical severity but lack the broader understanding of applications that’s required to truly grasp the risks businesses face.
When security interrupts workflows with low-context alerts, developers see it as a roadblock. In fact, 68% of developers feel that security slows them down. This friction hinders collaboration and slows business velocity.
While the volume of new vulnerabilities grows exponentially, the resources to fix them do not. This forces a reliance on outdated prioritization models that create more noise than clarity, leaving organizations exposed to the risks that truly matter.

Snyk provides the foundational capabilities to implement a risk-based security program. Move from reactive vulnerability patching to proactive risk management that aligns with your business objectives and maintains development velocity.
The foundation for risk-based prioritization is knowing what assets you need to protect. Snyk automatically maps your complete application landscape — including code repositories, container images, third-party dependencies, and ownership — to build a comprehensive asset inventory.
Combine application, development, and business context with deep technical details about vulnerabilities linked to each asset, enabling teams to make smarter, more informed prioritization decisions.
Snyk’s Risk Score ingests a wide range of factors — exploit reachability, exploit maturity, business impact, EPSS, CVSS, transitive depth, and social trends — to rank vulnerabilities based on real-world risk.
Risk scoring is embedded across various interfaces, ensuring both developers and security teams can leverage it to prioritize issues directly within their workflows.
Track progress, coverage gaps, and risk trends via dashboards and reporting, giving stakeholders visibility into outcomes and opportunities for improvement.
Snyk's risk-based prioritization is built upon our market-leading developer security platform, which has already helped the world's leading companies save time and reduce risk.
