AI code vulnerability scanning

Security Application

What it's used for

Snyk is a developer-first security platform that uses AI to find and fix vulnerabilities in code, open-source dependencies, containers, and infrastructure-as-code. It shifts security left by integrating directly into the developer workflow.

  • Code scanning (SAST) — AI-powered static analysis that finds vulnerabilities in your proprietary code with low false-positive rates
  • Open-source scanning (SCA) — Identify known vulnerabilities in npm, pip, Maven, and other package ecosystems
  • Container security — Scan Docker images and Kubernetes configs for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations
  • IaC scanning — Find security misconfigurations in Terraform, CloudFormation, and Kubernetes YAML
  • AI-powered fix suggestions — Get auto-generated fix PRs that remediate vulnerabilities with tested patches
  • IDE integration — Real-time vulnerability scanning inside VS Code, IntelliJ, and other editors

Development teams integrate Snyk into CI/CD pipelines to catch issues before production. Security teams get visibility across all repositories. DevOps engineers scan container images and IaC templates before deployment.

Snyk's developer-friendly approach means security gets adopted rather than resisted. Visit snyk.io.

    • Team ($25/developer/mo) — Unlimited projects, fix PRs, Jira integration, reports
    • Enterprise — Custom pricing, SSO, custom policies, advanced reporting, SLA support
  4. Scan your code:
    snyk test          # scan open-source dependencies
    snyk code test     # scan proprietary code
    snyk container test your-image  # scan containers
    snyk iac test      # scan infrastructure-as-code
  5. Connect repositories — Import repos through the web dashboard for continuous monitoring and automated fix PRs
  6. Install IDE plugin — Add the Snyk extension to VS Code or IntelliJ for real-time scanning
Tip: Enable automated fix PRs in dashboard settings. Snyk will automatically open pull requests with tested patches when new vulnerabilities are disclosed.
