Summary

Snyk is a companion security tool for Amazon CodeWhisperer, a generative AI coding tool that can drive developer productivity but also raises concerns about compliance and security. While generative AI tools like CodeWhisperer automate code creation, they rely on statistical predictions based on common patterns and may produce inaccurate or insecure code. Snyk is designed to address these limitations by providing fast, automatic, workflow-optimized, accurate, and customizable security checks that can help developers stay secure while using AI-powered coding tools. By pairing Snyk with CodeWhisperer, developers can overcome the security shortcomings of AI code generation and ensure that their applications are secure at the speed of AI.
