“For Snyk, this latest ServiceNow investment represents much more than pure capital,” said Peter McKay, CEO, Snyk. “First as a customer, then as a partner and now as a strategic investor, the ServiceNow team has proven their determination to shift enterprises away from slow, burdensome legacy cybersecurity approaches, allowing more resourceful global companies to embrace a modern, developer-centric security mindset.”
“It’s been exciting to witness Snyk’s journey over the last several years – from first evangelizing their pioneering vision of bringing the security mindset to the developer stage to now having thousands of customers worldwide embrace developer security,” said Philip Kirk, senior vice president of corporate business development, ServiceNow. “With this latest investment, we’re committed to working together to drive secure digital transformation outcomes for our customers.”
In addition to this latest funding, Snyk today is announcing a new integration with the ServiceNow Vulnerability Response solution. Currently available to joint customers, this new offering unites Snyk Open Source, advanced software composition analysis (SCA) backed by the company’s industry-leading intelligence, with the ServiceNow Platform.
This represents a significant milestone for teams relying on ServiceNow digital workflow solutions across their enterprises, providing them with a more comprehensive view of their attack surface and allowing them to effectively evaluate risks in order to help respond to priority threats faster. Leveraging Snyk, the ServiceNow Vulnerability Response solution continues to effectively address security concerns based on how applications are developed today. As part of a digital assembly line, modern software developers often reuse code from a variety of sources, including open source repositories. In turn, this external code often presents vulnerabilities that the ServiceNow offering can now quickly identify and prioritize for fast remediation.
