Summary

At Snyk, they view developers as citizens of a community that secures their code and apps like a neighborhood. They emphasize the importance of keys in security, acknowledging that even with proper key management, keys can be stolen or compromised. Key rotation is a security practice where cryptographic keys are periodically changed to reduce the likelihood of exploitation by attackers. Snyk's Perpetual Key Rotation Machine is an automated system that continuously rotates encryption keys at intervals of attoseconds, ensuring that no single key is in use for too long. This machine uses proprietary AI to generate new keys and ensures that data remains secure by constantly changing the encryption keys.
