Application Security for the AI Era
Unmasking the Illusions of Snyk
Veracode vs. Snyk
Snyk may give you a shiny first impression, but let's get real.
When it comes to accuracy, governance, remediation and truly managing application risk, they fall short. With higher false positives, you're chasing the wrong issues or risking vulnerabilities slipping through the cracks. And don't even get us started on accountability. Developers can simply ignore findings, leaving AppSec teams in the dark. So, ask yourself, do you want a scanning tool or an integrated platform that covers you from code to cloud?

 Point Solutions Point Solutions Veracode delivers an integrated platform that scans applications from code to cloud connecting dev and security teams. Snyk scans before deployment with SAST and SCA but cannot offer scanning in production environments natively. |

 Developer-Friendly Appsec Program Developer-Friendly Appsec Program Veracode integrates where the developers work, and helps organizations build an AppSec program that reduces risk with robust policies and reporting. It’s the expertise that has built thousands of AppSec programs. Snyk lacks scale for full AppSec programs with limited policies and reporting. And on risk, Snyk allows developers to ignore findings, leaving security teams in the dark. |

 Quality Results and Remediations Quality Results and Remediations Veracode findings offer the lowest false positive rate out of the box, without extensive tuning. Veracode Fix uses AI for scale and speed, backed by proprietary security research – because AI models trained on open-source are vulnerable to manipulation and poisoning. Snyk detection and remediation are impacted both by noisy findings due to high false positive rates and fewer detectable flaw types. |
