Summary

Comic Relief's developers used Snyk to automate security and boost productivity as part of their Digital Transformation, helping them stay secure while using open source libraries and increasing agility. With Snyk, they freed up dev team resources, allowing junior developers to proactively remediate vulnerable libraries, and enabled the team to focus on developing code with automation providing alerts on new vulnerabilities. The integration allowed Comic Relief to balance security with being agile and using open source libraries, a significant challenge that was overcome by leveraging Snyk's features such as automatic vulnerability checks and notifications via email and slack channels. As a result, the dev team can now divert head count from manual security work to productive feature development, achieving a streamlined process for triaging and remediating vulnerabilities.
