As a leader in applying AI to developer security, Snyk’s approach is unique. Today, we want to provide a glimpse at how Snyk currently uses AI and data science, as well as a sneak peek at what’s to come. Before diving in, we want to highlight two aspects of Snyk’s use of AI to set the stage.

In July 2022, we announced Snyk Cloud, extending the Snyk developer security platform to secure application and infrastructure configurations in running cloud environments. Today, we’re thrilled to introduce a new feature of Snyk Cloud that enables you to "fix cloud issues in IaC" (infrastructure as code), making Snyk Cloud the first solution to secure the cloud through code with remediation paths in IaC.

Security teams are using automation solutions more and more to achieve consistent and faster response times. Some of these responses require emails to be sent to various users or groups, and traditional methods of sending emails are outdated and not very secure. Security teams also need the ability to read emails from specific mailboxes, whether that is for automating responses to phishing submissions or something similar.

When ChatGPT debuted in November 2022, it ushered in new points of view and sentiments around AI adoption. Workers from nearly every industry started to reimagine how they could accomplish daily tasks and execute their work — and the cybersecurity industry was no exception. Like shadow IT, new rogue AI tools — meaning AI tools that employees are adopting unbeknownst to the organization they work for — can pose security risks to your organization.

Cloud computing has made its way to organizations’ IT infrastructure strategy rapidly over the past few years. In particular, Canadian businesses are showing an increased adoption.
