Snyk Partners with Nova8 to Empower Secure Development Across Latin America

The Latin American technology landscape is growing rapidly, with organizations embracing digital transformation and cloud-native development. This growth brings incredible opportunities to this market – but can also introduce significant security challenges that can slow innovation if not addressed proactively. To empower developers and security teams in the region to build secure applications faster, Snyk is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Nova8, a leading value-added distributor (VAD) of cybersecurity and cloud solutions.

The growing need for developer security in Latin America:

Latin American organizations are increasingly adopting DevOps practices, cloud-native architectures, and open-source technologies to drive innovation and efficiency. However, traditional security approaches often struggle to keep pace with the speed and agility of modern development. This can lead to:

• Increased vulnerabilities: Applications may be shipped with security flaws, posing a risk to sensitive data and business operations.

• Development delays: Security bottlenecks can disrupt the development process, slowing down time to market.

• Higher remediation costs: Fixing vulnerabilities late in the development lifecycle is significantly more expensive and time-consuming.

Snyk's developer security platform addresses these challenges by integrating security seamlessly into the development workflow, enabling developers to find and fix vulnerabilities early and often.

Snyk and Nova8: A powerful combination

Founded in 2016, Nova8 is a Brazilian distributor of cybersecurity solutions, recognized as the only company in Latin America mentioned in the Gartner Market Guide for IT Distributors (ID: G00798286, August 2024 edition) — a recognition earned for its business model and value-added approach to delivering cybersecurity solutions.

Acting as a VAD and Trusted Advisor, Nova8 supports resellers and enterprises in the implementation of cybersecurity solutions and advanced threat defense technologies.

Nova8 stands out for its consultative and strategic support, offering specialized training, implementation assistance, and customization of security platforms, as well as conducting research and sharing insights on industry trends.

Benefits for Latin American organizations

This partnership will provide significant benefits to organizations across Latin America.

• Empowered developers: Developers are equipped with tools that find and fix vulnerabilities directly in their IDEs, making secure coding a natural part of the development process, not an afterthought. 

• Accelerated and secure development: Security is integrated into developer workflows so it becomes an enabler, not a roadblock, allowing teams to ship applications faster.

• Reduced risk: Early detection and remediation of vulnerabilities minimize the risk of security breaches.

• Streamlined compliance and reporting: Organizations gain clear visibility into the security postures of their applications and infrastructures, simplifying the process of meeting industry regulations and standards.

“As security leaders face growing pressure to keep pace with rapid innovation, our AI-powered developer security platform helps them proactively secure modern applications, including  cloud infrastructure, cloud-native and GenAI technologies. Through our partnership with Nova8, we’re bringing this capability to more organizations across Latin America, giving security teams the visibility, control, and confidence they need to scale application security without slowing development.”
