Exploitability Isn’t the Answer. Breakability Is.
Blog post from Snyk
Developers often face the challenge of addressing numerous application security (AppSec) vulnerabilities due to time constraints and the fear of breaking their code, despite advancements in automation and AI-assisted tools that expedite the remediation process. Snyk introduces a new feature, Breakability Risk, to prioritize security fixes by assessing the risk of potential code breakages when applying updates. This feature helps developers confidently merge low-risk updates, thereby addressing a significant portion of vulnerabilities with minimal effort. The Breakability Risk system categorizes updates into low and high risk, encouraging quick fixes for less risky updates while advising caution for those with higher breakability potential. By focusing on Breakability, Snyk aims to reduce security debt and streamline the remediation workflow, allowing teams to mitigate security risks without increasing the engineering workload. This approach is part of Snyk's broader strategy to integrate AI-driven insights into their security processes, enhancing the predictability and confidence in risk reduction efforts.
