Going beyond reachability to prioritize what matters most

What's this blog post about?

The increasing usage of open source libraries, generative AI, and containers introduces new licensing and security concerns in modern applications. Finding, prioritizing, and fixing all open source vulnerabilities within applications is unrealistic, as it's not just newly found vulnerabilities that need to be tackled but the entire backlog of vulnerabilities in a codebase. Static risk factors like NVD/CVSS severity are insufficient for accurate and impactful prioritization. Companies must consider contextual factors besides static reachability to accurately prioritize vulnerabilities based on actual risk to the business. Snyk offers solutions that help organizations find, fix, and prioritize software vulnerabilities, strengthening their application security processes with risk-based prioritization, reachability from code to cloud, and application context.
