Summary

Snyk continued to expand its developer-centric approach to software security in 2022 by adding several key enhancements to its existing solutions, including features to improve coding practices, identify vulnerable libraries and packages, and detect vulnerabilities in containers. The company introduced new language server support for easier integration with IDEs, expanded vulnerability detection capabilities for open source software packages, and added a software bill of materials (SBOM) feature to provide a complete view of an application's dependencies. Additionally, Snyk improved its container security features by adding base image detection and upgrade recommendations, as well as custom/golden base image support. These enhancements aim to improve the overall security of software supply chains and reduce the cost and friction associated with finding and fixing vulnerabilities.
