Open source risk management made for developers

Snyk Open Source provides advanced software composition analysis (SCA) backed by industry-leading security and application intelligence.

On-demand SCA demo

Watch our recorded demo to see how teams can find and fix vulnerabilities and license issues with Snyk Open Source for SCA.

Find vulnerabilities early and throughout development

Snyk Open Source security management  provides a developer-first SCA solution, helping developers find, prioritize, and fix security vulnerabilities and license issues in open source dependencies.

Coding and CLI

Find vulnerable dependencies as you code in your IDE or CLI. This lets you avoid future fixes, saving you valuable development time.

Pull requests

Scan pull requests before merging. Test your projects directly from the repository and monitor them daily for new vulnerabilities.

CI/CD tools

Add security guardrails to your CI/CD pipelines to prevent newly added open source vulnerabilities from reaching production.

Live environment

Test your production environment to verify that there is no exposure to existing vulnerabilities and monitor for newly disclosed issues.

Fix, monitor, scan, automate

Snyk features put you in control of open source security management, from remediation to reporting.

Prioritize remediation based on risk to your business

Snyk's prioritization is based not only on the severity of a vulnerability but also by creating a Risk Score, by dynamically evaluating vulns for over a dozen objective and contextual factors, including reachability, exploit maturity, and EPSS/CVSS scores. Snyk allows you to further refine prioritization by taking into account both business and application contexts, so you can quickly identify risks to mission-critical systems or those carrying sensitive data.

Fix quickly to reduce exposure

Snyk automates vulnerability fixes with one-click pull requests populated with the required upgrades and patches. Customizable PR templates allow you to specify the title, description, and commit message, ensuring that generated PRs match the format required by your organization.

Monitor continuously to stay secure

Over 24k new vulnerabilities were discovered in 2024 alone. Snyk allows you to automatically monitor your projects for newly identified vulnerabilities so you can find, prioritize, and fix vulnerabilities quickly, reducing your exposure to risk.

Automate open source security management and governance

Continuously evaluate compliance with regulatory and internal security policies using real-time and historical reporting, packaged for security engineers and GRC teams.

Securing the most popular languages

Snyk Open Source SCA platform secures dependencies across a variety of popular languages.

"Before Snyk, our approach to open source security was slow and time-consuming. We did manual checks of our packages before releases for some products (lots of googling and bookmarks), for others we use a collection of smaller tools. There are only a few security engineers at the company, but hundreds of developers; we will never scale with them, so we must proactively enable them."
