Snyk Code

Snyk Code is a developer-focused static application security testing (SAST) solution that identifies and automatically remediates code vulnerabilities in real-time. The platform provides in-line security scanning directly within IDEs and pull requests, enabling developers to find and fix issues during development before they enter production.

The tool features AI-powered automatic remediation through Snyk Agent Fix, which provides pre-validated fixes with 80% accuracy that can be applied with one click. Snyk Code performs build-free scanning in seconds to minutes, eliminating the need to wait for traditional SAST reports. The platform leverages a proprietary machine learning engine built on 25M+ data flow cases modeled from millions of open source libraries.

Snyk Code offers extensive language and framework coverage, including support for 90% of LLM libraries such as OpenAI and Hugging Face. The platform integrates throughout the software development lifecycle, including IDE integration, automated PR and repository scanning, and CI/CD pipeline security gates. It provides context-specific explanations for vulnerabilities with developer-friendly remediation advice.

The solution uses a self-hosted AI engine with constraint-based data analysis for data privacy and speed. It features intelligent prioritization capabilities that leverage application context to reduce noise and focus on new, deployed, or publicly exposed code issues that pose higher risk. The platform includes continuous machine learning from the global open source community and curated security expertise from Snyk's security team.

Snyk Code was recognized as a Leader in The Forrester Wave: SAST, Q3 2025, and was the only AI-powered code security tool shortlisted by developers in Stack Overflow's 2024 survey.
