Snyk Code modernizes the maintenance of static application security testing (SAST) rules to catch vulnerabilities faster by taking responsibility for building and maintaining these rule sets, using a powerful engine on open source projects as a test and training set. This approach allows customers not to maintain the rules themselves, but instead, Snyk's security experts monitor and oversee the results, ensuring consistent growth in coverage accuracy. By constantly scanning for new issue patterns and implementing them while maintaining existing rules, Snyk Code ensures that its rule sets are up-to-date and effective in detecting vulnerabilities. This approach is particularly beneficial as it allows developers to focus on writing high-quality code more efficiently, rather than worrying about the maintenance of security rules.
