Snyk

New

Find and auto-fix security vulnerabilities in your code, dependencies, containers, and IaC — before they ship. Snyk opens the PR with the fix so security doesn't sit in a backlog.

Overview

Snyk scans your code, open-source dependencies, container images, and infrastructure-as-code for security vulnerabilities — and fixes them automatically via pull requests rather than just flagging them. Where most security scanners produce reports you have to act on manually, Snyk generates the fix and opens the PR. It integrates into the developer workflow at every stage: IDE plugin catches issues as you code, CI/CD scan blocks vulnerable builds, and the container scanner covers Docker images before deployment. The developer-first approach means security gets fixed at the source rather than batched into a quarterly security sprint.

Key Features

  • Code vulnerability scanning
  • Auto-fix pull requests
  • Dependency audit
  • Container scanning
  • IaC security
  • IDE + CI/CD integration
Pros
  • Auto-fix PRs change security from 'report backlog' to 'merged in 10 minutes'
  • Developer-first workflow means security happens before code ships
  • Strong open-source community database — catches issues major scanners miss
Cons
  • False positive rate on large monorepos can create noise
  • Advanced features (container + IaC) gated to paid tiers
