Summary

Snyk has added Social Trends to its vulnerability data, which shows trending vulnerabilities so developers can prioritize remediation based on what's currently popular in the social media world. The company's research found a strong correlation between socially trending vulnerabilities and exploits that can harm applications. This new feature helps developers focus on essential security vulnerabilities by highlighting those with high attention on Twitter and other social media platforms, making it easier to identify potential security risks before they become major issues. By analyzing social media trends, Snyk aims to provide an additional layer of protection for developers, helping them avoid common security mistakes and stay ahead of emerging threats.
