Summary

Snyk Code is a static application security testing (SAST) solution that introduces revolutionary technologies into the SAST space, based on research and technologies developed by DeepCode, a spin-off from ETH Zurich/Switzerland. The solution uses an abstract syntax tree (AST) and event graph (EG), which allows a data flow-sensitive, context-aware analysis of code. It mines knowledge from the global developer community to identify security issues and has the opportunity to add rules for zero-day exploits even if there is no training data available yet. Snyk Code follows a pipeline that applies the knowledge base and produces accurate results in minutes or seconds. The team behind Snyk Code has been actively involved in publishing academic papers and tools on static program analysis, contributing back to the open source community.
