Snyk is a developer security platform covering four scanning surfaces from a single agent: SAST (application source code), SCA (open-source dependencies), container (base images and OS packages), and IaC (Terraform, Helm, CloudFormation).
The DeepCode AI engine performs reachability analysis on dependency findings, tracing whether a vulnerability has an exploitable code path in the application before surfacing it. This filters findings to those with real exposure rather than reporting all transitive CVEs. The Evo engine generates pull requests with dependency upgrades or code patches for confirmed fixable findings.
IDE plugins for VS Code, JetBrains, and Eclipse display findings as inline annotations during development. Snyk Advisor provides package health data (maintenance status, community activity, license) alongside vulnerability counts. Organization-level security policies configure severity thresholds, ignore rules, and CI fail conditions per project type. Free tier covers individuals with limited scans per month.
