Overview
Snyk is a developer-focused security platform that scans source code (Snyk Code, a static analysis tool), open-source dependencies (Snyk Open Source), container images (Snyk Container) and infrastructure-as-code files (Snyk IaC)[26]. It integrates into IDEs, source control and CI pipelines so developers see vulnerabilities and fixes before code is deployed, and it has added AI security agents that run parts of an application security programme[26].
Snyk’s free plan covers five projects with 100 Snyk Code tests a month, and the Team plan starts at US$25 a month billed monthly, raising limits to 100 projects and 1,000 code tests a month with Jira integration and next-business-day support[26]. Larger customers buy credits at US$1 per credit, which are drawn down by each capability according to a platform rate card[26]. Snyk offers its platform at no cost to maintainers of open-source software[26].
Snyk is privately held. It scans software artifacts rather than running systems, so it does not replace infrastructure or DAST scanners; buyers usually combine it with tools such as Nessus or Invicti.
