About Snyk
At Snyk, our mission revolves around assisting developers in utilizing open source code while maintaining security. The prevalence of open source software continues to surge as it becomes a fundamental component of technological applications worldwide. Developers often integrate open source elements as if they were their own, overlooking potential vulnerabilities that are readily exploitable by others. Given that most maintainers of these projects lack security expertise, ensuring the safety of open source software emerges as a critical challenge.
About Us
We are driven by the conviction that the open source community is a beneficial force. Our team combines security specialists with skilled software developers to simplify safe open source usage for all. Currently, over 2.2 million developers rely on our advanced solutions to identify and rectify vulnerabilities in their dependencies. We safeguard over 100,000 open source projects and collaborate with major organizations like Google and ASOS. Our recent funding round raised $300 million, elevating our valuation to $4.7 billion, a testament to our potential and ongoing success.
We cherish the diverse and welcoming atmosphere we’ve cultivated, valuing the varied perspectives our team members bring. Our workforce exceeds 500 individuals, spanning several global offices and including numerous remote workers. This setup underscores our commitment to a robust, distributed corporate structure. We prioritize effective communication and utilize tools like video calls and Slack to maintain connectivity across locations.
What’s Next?
The landscape of open source is expanding, and with it, the complexity of package management systems. We are dedicated to developing a universal model that addresses these variations and encompasses entire codebases. Our goals include constructing a leading database of vulnerabilities, leveraging machine learning for enhanced research, and ensuring our system’s scalability to integrate security into more developers’ routines worldwide.
We aim to empower developers with the knowledge and tools necessary for secure coding practices, thereby accelerating secure software development without compromising speed. Additionally, our focus extends to refining our product outreach and understanding user needs to provide superior support and security solutions.
