Snyk vs Veracode

Why choose Snyk over Veracode for AppSec?

Veracode is a legacy security tool for auditing code after it’s been compiled and adds tickets to the security backlog for developers to investigate. Snyk modernizes AppSec by automating security in the tools and workflows developers use while also providing the essential visibility, governance, and reporting that security teams need.

Embed security into the dev toolkit

Your security team is outnumbered by developers. Snyk’s real-time vulnerability scanning and automated fix suggestions in the IDE and PR workflows ensure security from the start at speed and scale.

Secure code from the start in real time

Snyk shifts security directly into the IDE with real-time vulnerability scanning so developers can fix on the fly to reduce risk.

Fast, intuitive scans, no compile needed

Snyk scans code in-line as developers write and commit it, breaking free of the lengthy scan times and complex compile and upload requirements of Veracode.

Fix suggestions with full app context

Snyk provides auto fixes and fix guidance within developer workflows so developers can choose a fix that works in the context of their whole application and apply it with a click.

No

Veracode requires you to fully compile your code before you can run security scans in the context of your whole application.

Advanced AI

Yes

DeepCode AI is a security-specific, hybrid AI and ML engine trained and updated by Snyk security researchers.

No

Veracode relies on a GPT-based AI model to suggest code fixes.

Why Snyk is the best Veracode alternative

「ランタイムの本番稼働前にコンテナをスキャンできて良かったと思っています。コンテナの脆弱性はあまり注意していなかったため、会社として目を見張るような経験になりました。脆弱性に対する意識が高まり、自動化が進みました。これはエンジニアリングチームが CI/CD を実践する際の品質改善の考え方に合致しています」
