We are thrilled to announce the strategic partnership between Snyk and Snowflake, two industry leaders coming together to revolutionize data security and empower organizations worldwide. This partnership brings unparalleled benefits to our customers by combining the advanced capabilities of Snyk’s security data with the robust infrastructure of Snowflake's data platform, therefore equipping Snyk customers with powerful insights into their security posture.

In our latest report, Snyk surveyed security and software development technologists, from top management to application developers, on how their companies had prepared for and adopted generative AI coding tools. While organizations felt ready and believed AI coding tools and AI-generated code were safe, they failed to undertake some basic steps for secure adoption. And within the ranks, those close to the code have greater doubts about AI safety than those higher up in management.

There’s been a lot of excitement around generative AI technology over the past few years, especially in software development. Developers of all levels are turning to AI tools, such as GitHub Copilot, Amazon CodeWhisperer, and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, to support their coding efforts. In fact, GitHub found that 92% of developers use AI coding tools. However, many businesses are realizing that they need to be more cautious when using AI in software development.
