Snyk launches Evo, a new AI-native security system

Snyk launched Evo, the first agentic security orchestration system dedicated to protecting AI-native applications. This new platform offers enterprises a comprehensive security framework addressing the growing complexities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) usage across the software development lifecycle.

Evo integrates with the Snyk AI Security Platform, providing a unified experience to discover, test, govern, and secure AI systems. It allows security teams to operate effectively in an environment defined by AI's rapid evolution while managing a multitude of new threats and vulnerabilities.

Peter McKay, CEO of Snyk, noted, “This is a watershed moment for the secure use of AI. Security can't just keep pace - it must lead the charge. With Evo, we’re not just securing code - we're architecting the trust that will unlock the full potential of tomorrow's agentic systems for the modern enterprise.” This commitment signals a strategic investment in AI security, responding to evolving enterprise needs as organizations increasingly adopt AI-native applications.

The emerging landscape of agentic AI requires a continuous and adaptive security approach. Evo employs the OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) framework, empowering security teams to combat AI threats effectively. Key features include intelligent orchestration, autonomous task agents, and a natural language policy creation tool that simplifies governance.

Evo’s initial offering is available for customers in experimental preview, with broader deployment scheduled for early 2026. This platform, alongside other Snyk AI tools, positions the company to meet the security requirements of advanced AI development initiatives.
