Snyk makes security tools for software developers. Guy Podjarny, Assaf Hefetz and Danny Grander founded the company in 2015 in London. It is now based in Boston, Massachusetts, with offices in London, Tel Aviv and other cities.
Snyk scans application code, open source libraries, container images and infrastructure configuration for security flaws. It is built to run where developers already work, such as in their code editor, in pull requests and in build pipelines. When it finds a problem, it explains the risk and often suggests a fix or opens a pull request with the change.
Its customers include software teams at startups and large companies in finance, technology and other fields. Snyk offers a free tier for individual developers and paid plans for teams. In recent years it has added tools aimed at the security of AI generated code. The company has raised several funding rounds and remains privately held.
