Summary

There are some basic conditions that can help accelerate a Snyk rollout, such as developers already involved in security, management pushing the effort, or compliance issues. However, these conditions don't apply to every company, so customers with successful Snyk implementations were consulted to provide advice on best practices for rolling out Snyk throughout an organization. The model comprises steps including finding the right team to start implementation with, training users, setting clear KPIs, establishing official processes, integrating Snyk at a critical point in the software development lifecycle, and providing feedback. Successful customers reported starting small, providing internal training resources, such as video-call training sessions and demo videos, setting clear KPIs, establishing a standard policy, and integrating Snyk at a critical SDLC point. Giving feedback is also an important part of the process to ensure teams are engaged and making progress towards security goals.
