Organizations of all sizes often struggle with enabling their
security teams to reduce risk in their development environments,
whether in proprietary code, open source modules, containers, or
Infrastructure as Code. Snyk's world class platform enables
developer teams to identify and fix those vulnerabilities and
misconfigurations from the integrated development environment (IDE)
to the operation of their cloud environments. The addition of
Coalfire's hackers and defenders brings in a threat-informed
perspective to prioritize the remediation of those vulnerabilities,
which optimizes security outcomes for customers.
Through this partnership, Coalfire's experts assist clients with
deployment of the Snyk platform, implementing Snyk best practices,
facilitating comprehensive testing, reviewing scan results and
prioritizing vulnerabilities, as well as providing expert guidance
on risk management and secure coding. Coalfire also integrates Snyk
with various developer workflows, including Jira, Slack, and CI/CD
pipelines. Additionally, Coalfire defenders provide regular
reporting on developer adoption and overall risk posture. These
experts also conduct periodic policy updates, scan evaluations, and
seek feedback from development teams for continuous process
improvement to drive holistic security across the application and
development environments.
"As enterprises worldwide face an increasingly complex
cybersecurity landscape, we're confident this new partnership with
Coalfire will provide unique value for our customers," said
Gary Olson, Chief Revenue Officer,
Snyk. "By combining the power of the Snyk platform with Coalfire's
hacker expertise and insightful guidance, organizations can now
more effectively and proactively combat evolving threats today and
into the future."
"Application security still remains one of the most difficult
challenges for organizations across all industries," said
Charles Henderson, EVP of Cyber
Security Services, Coalfire. "While perfection is out of reach for
most organizations, security and development teams should strive to
reduce the riskiest elements in production environments by focusing
on vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that real-world threat
actors are most likely to leverage. That's the outcome we're
driving with this partnership by combining Snyk's leading
application security platform with our best-in-class hackers and
defenders. With this collaboration, we continue to advance a
threat-informed approach to help customers build a robust
cybersecurity posture."
