Summary

Snyk has integrated its security data into GitHub Security Code Scanning, enabling developers to automatically scan their open source dependencies for security vulnerabilities and license issues within GitHub's Security tab. This integration uses Snyk's GitHub Actions to integrate Snyk natively with GitHub Security Code Scanning, allowing developers to view results directly from within the platform. To get started, developers can set up authentication with Snyk and configure a workflow in their repository using Snyk's GitHub Actions, which can be triggered by new code pushes. The integration provides context around vulnerabilities, including severity levels, CVEs, CWEs, descriptions, exploitability examples, disclosure timelines, and remediation advice, making it easier for developers to prioritize fixing issues. This integration aims to reduce friction associated with integrating security into development workflows, allowing developers to take more ownership of security.
