Snyk
Since 2015Developer-first security platform
Developer-first security platform — find and fix vulnerabilities in code, dependencies, containers, and IaC.
Overview
Snyk integrates security directly into my development workflow. It monitors npm/Composer dependencies for known vulnerabilities, suggests automated fix PRs, scans container images, and checks IaC templates. I use it in IDE plugins for real-time feedback and in CI/CD pipelines as a security gate before deployment.
