Summary

Snyk Code has added Go security scanning, building on its existing support for multiple programming languages including JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Python, C#, and PHP. The new feature uses machine learning algorithms to generate a knowledge base of rules that detect vulnerabilities in Go code, with the goal of providing accurate and high-speed scans. To use Snyk Code's Go security scanning, users can sign up for a free account, add their project or repository, and let the scan run automatically, which can be completed within minutes even for large repositories. The results will show detailed information on vulnerabilities detected in the code, with the understanding that this feature is still in beta and may not be as accurate as fully supported languages.
