Snyk unveils AI Security Fabric

Snyk unveiled the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Security Fabric to provide continuous protection operating at the speed of AI, covering enterprise code through agentic systems.

The company framed the rollout against a shift in development practices: developers were using AI to write code and power applications while Snyk said a rapid rise in AI-enabled cyber threats, growing security debt, new attack vectors, and a governance gap in AI-driven development compounded risk across an expanding attack surface.

The Snyk AI Security Platform serves as the engine for the Fabric and organized protection into three unified vectors: The Foundation (AI-Accelerated DevSecOps), The Accelerator (AI-Driven Development), and The Frontier (AI-Native Software). The platform referenced Delta Findings, an Immutable Deployment Environment (IDE), Precision Reference Source (PRS), an enhanced PR Check Experience, Group by Dependency, Breakability Risk scoring, Snyk Agent Fix, Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) and Static Application Security Testing (SAST) correlation, expanded guardrails, Evo’s AI-BOM, and an MCP-Scan prototype using Toxic Flow Analysis for the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Snyk said it embedded security into AI coding assistants with new 60-second setup flows for Gemini Command-Line Interface (CLI) and Claude Code, enabled central distribution of guardrails, and supported end-to-end remediation from generation to pull request. Its State of Agentic AI Adoption report analyzed more than 500 enterprise Evo environments and found nearly three times as many hidden software components per deployed model and that 82% of AI tools came from external packages; a Forrester Total Economic Impact study cited a 288% ROI and 60% faster remediation, and Snyk noted it served over 4,500 customers.

“Our customers need to build fearlessly in the AI era, but when creation accelerates beyond human speed, risk becomes unmanageable,” said Peter McKay, CEO of Snyk. “Companies don’t just need application security - they need an AI Security Fabric. Snyk is the only company delivering the capabilities, the guidance, and the visionary innovation to weave that Fabric, ensuring that trust is architected into software from the first prompt to production.” “As AI-driven development accelerates, human oversight alone simply cannot keep pace,” said Gabriel Brolo Tobar, Senior Security Engineer, Yalo. “We view Snyk’s autonomous defense as a vital partner to our engineering team - a first line of defense that enables us to take control of issues right away. This partnership is indispensable, ensuring we can adopt AI-native architectures without losing control of our security posture.”

Snyk planned an official unveiling of the AI Security Fabric on February 11 and continued to add capabilities to the Snyk AI Security Platform.
