Key Capabilities | Snyk | GitHub |
Unified AppSec visibility with context and control | ✔ Broad, integrated coverage across code, dependencies containers, IaC, and DAST. Get a unified view of security issues across your SDLC - not just GitHub. | ✘ Limited to GitHub and Azure DevOps - hosted code with static analysis tools. Visibility doesn’t extend to containers, IaC, or external repositories. |
Enterprise-grade reporting and program maturity | ✔ Snyk’s reporting and analytics give dev and security teams the insights they need to take action – prioritize critical issues, track SLA performance, measure AppSec adoption, and more. Go beyond scan results to manage risk and maturity at scale. | ✘ Basic repo-level dashboards are primarily focused on scan counts. Minimal support for prioritization, SLA tracking, or program-wide reporting. |
Proactive risk reduction & prioritization | ✔ Real-time, in-workflow guidance with advanced prioritization based on factors like reachability, exploitability, and fix availability. Risk is surfaced as developers code so they can fix what matters without disrupting their workflow. | ✘ Prioritization is limited and based primarily on CVSS. Scans are run later in the SDLC, delaying feedback and remediation. |
Security governance at scale | ✔ Enforce consistent security practices across the organization with customizable policies that align with your risk posture. | ✘ Lacks centralized, scalable governance or enforcement. |
Developer workflow integration | ✔ Embedded across IDEs, Git, CI/CD/ PRs, and CLIs - regardless of ecosystem. | ✘ Integrated only within GitHub and Azure DevOps workflows; limited support outside of GitHub. |
AI-Powered Secure Development | ✔ DeepCode AI provides secure code suggestions, context-aware fixes, and in-workflow training. | ✘ Offers basic AI-powered auto-fix for some issues. Lack of context-aware remediation or embedded training. |
Developer learning & enablement | ✔ Snyk Learn’s interactive lessons deliver bite-sized and context-aware training as developers code, helping build secure coding habits as they work. | ✘ No integrated learning or just-in-time training within workflows. |
