May 2018 Summaries

Snyk has been named a 2018 Gartner Cool Vendor in Application and Data Security, recognizing its innovative approach to addressing open source security concerns. The company believes this recognition validates its focus on developer-first security solutions with remediation automation capabilities. Snyk's solution helps organizations integrate security seamlessly into their DevSecOps processes, empowering developers to own security through automation of fix actions and patching vulnerable components. By automating upgrades and creating precise patches for impactful vulnerabilities, Snyk aims to make application open source dependencies enterprise-grade, similar to RedHat's approach for system dependencies.

Skyscanner, a leading global travel search site, partnered with Snyk to address its open source vulnerability exposure and license compliance issues. With Snyk's dependency vulnerability scanner, Skyscanner consolidated visibility into its dependencies, empowering its development team to take responsibility for security. The tool helped Skyscanner prioritize fixing vulnerabilities, reducing its security exposure, and monitoring nearly 500 projects with granular visibility into licensing and vulnerability issues. By integrating Snyk into their development environment, Skyscanner was able to streamline their approach to security, making it easier to track down areas of exposure and address them efficiently.
