Enhancing Your Security with AI

Leveraging advanced machine learning to improve your application security posture

Written by Ana Pascoal

To help you stay ahead of an ever-evolving threat landscape, Snyk API & Web incorporates advanced AI models in its scanning process. By leveraging AI, it provides a more intelligent, faster, and more comprehensive security experience.

Key Benefits of AI-Driven Scanning

Integrating AI into your security workflow transforms how vulnerabilities are detected and managed. Accounts with AI features enabled can expect to see improvements in the efficiency of our crawler and scanner.

Default Settings and Account Types

AI Powered capabilities are governed by the following default settings:

  • Trials and paid accounts: AI-driven scanning is enabled by default. This ensures you immediately benefit from higher accuracy and better coverage during your evaluation or subscription.

  • Free Accounts: AI-driven scanning is disabled by default.

If you wish to opt out of AI-powered scans for your organization, please contact Snyk Support to request a change.

Data Privacy and Security

We prioritize your privacy and the security of your data. When AI features are active for Snyk API & Web, here is how data is handled:

  • What is sent: Snyk API & Web sends specific components of web communications - such as portions of HTTP requests and responses - to the AI model for real-time analysis.

  • No training on your data: Snyk API & Web does not use your proprietary code or sensitive request data to train, optimize, or fine-tune our AI models.

  • Secure infrastructure: we use a combination of proprietary models and secure third-party LLMs. For third-party models, your data is never used for model training and is retained for no more than 8 hours.

For a comprehensive breakdown of our AI governance and legal commitments, please refer to the official Snyk documentation: How Snyk incorporates generative AI into the platform.
