8 tips for securing your CI/CD pipeline with Snyk

Snyk is a security platform that helps developers find and fix vulnerabilities in their open-source dependencies, ensuring modern application security. Snyk Open Source (OS) implements software composition analysis (SCA) scanning to detect potential security issues in open source components used by applications. This scanning can identify known CVEs, deprecated dependencies, vulnerabilities, and potential exploits in transitive dependencies, which are often not easily seen due to multiple layers of indirection. Snyk Code performs static application security testing (SAST) on source code for vulnerabilities and security weaknesses, while Snyk Container scans container images for operating system packages that may introduce vulnerabilities. Additionally, Snyk IaC scanning monitors infrastructure as code templates, such as Terraform or Kubernetes YAML files, to catch issues before they reach production. The platform also offers continuous monitoring of projects for open source vulnerabilities and license issues, sending alerts to teams when new vulnerabilities are discovered. By integrating Snyk into CI/CD pipelines, developers can automate security testing and ensure secure software delivery more efficiently.
