Summary

Snyk has introduced a new feature that allows developers to test and monitor their Go projects for open source vulnerabilities, providing precise and accurate package-level alerts. This addition expands Snyk's ecosystem to support Go modules, which are gaining popularity, and offers a more secure way to verify development progress without slowing it down. Snyk uniquely calculates a dependency tree of the project at the granular package level, detecting only specific packages that are found to be vulnerable and issuing fewer false positives. The feature is easily accessible through the Snyk CLI, allowing developers to get started quickly and stay secure.
