We are wrapping up this month and we present to you the most interesting highlights and security news from March 2020, including the launch of the State of Open Source Security survey, and several product updates from Snyk.

Security news

Our State of Open Source Security survey is now live!

Help us analyze trends in how organizations are using and securing open source software and cloud native technologies. Once we collate all the results, we'll create our 2020 report that we'll make available to you and the community!

Take the survey here.

News from Snyk

Product updates

  • This exciting new partnership between Snyk and Neighbourhoodie Software, makers of Greenkeeper and developer tooling innovators, has allowed us to improve our automatic dependency upgrades functionality. Read more here.

  • Combined status checks for pull request tests: Instead of seeing multiple Snyk security and license status checks per Snyk project (one Snyk project is equivalent to one manifest file), you'll now see only two combined status checks per project. Get started

  • Snyk Container improvements and expanded platform support: learn more about our integration between Amazon ECR and EKS and support for Red Hat OpenShift 4 here and here.

  • Kubernetes configuration scanning: allows you to find and fix issues in your Kubernetes configuration files. The initial release integrates with source code managers to detect Kubernetes files and provide fix recommendations. Enable this feature here.
