The Security Research Team at Snyk plays a crucial role in ensuring open source security, gathering and cultivating the Snyk Intel Vulnerability Database that powers scans and provides users with accurate and actionable information on vulnerabilities. The team employs various methods to stay up-to-date with community-powered databases, unstructured databases and advisories, and unpublished vulnerabilities. They also work closely with independent researchers, security personnel, and academic communities to disclose vulnerabilities. Additionally, the team conducts proprietary research to discover and responsibly disclose new vulnerabilities in the open source ecosystem, analyzing trends and identifying key characteristics of vulnerabilities. This hard work enables Snyk users to achieve four critical goals: timeliness, completeness, accuracy, and actionable information, giving them a dedicated team of security experts on their side to keep themselves and the rest of open source safe.
