How Datto made developer-first security a reality with Snyk

Datto's adoption of developer-first security using Snyk was a swift and successful transition, with all development teams embracing the platform within months, thanks to a well-planned approach that prioritized buy-in from developers, making it dead simple for them to engage in security while doing their normal tasks. The company also took a broader look at security, automating dependency management and open source license scanning processes, which greatly reduced time spent on these tasks. Datto's security champions program was another key factor in its success, with the company casting a wide net to find participants from all parts of the organization. A strong DevOps culture was also essential, as it provided an antidote to developer overload and ensured that teams were empowered to make decisions about tech solutions that made their lives easier. Ultimately, Datto's experience shows that trying out developer-first security is not only feasible but can have a positive impact on a company's overall security posture.
