Enhancing your security with AI

How Snyk API and Web uses AI and machine learning to enhance security scanning

Leveraging advanced machine learning to improve your application security posture.

To help you stay ahead of an ever-evolving threat landscape, Snyk API & Web incorporates advanced AI models in its scanning process. By using AI, Snyk provides a more intelligent, faster, and more comprehensive security experience.

Key benefits of AI-driven scanning

Integrating AI into your security workflow transforms how Snyk detects and manages vulnerabilities. Accounts with AI features enabled can expect improvements in the efficiency of the Snyk crawler and scanner.

Default settings and account types

AI Powered capabilities are governed by the following default settings:

• Trials and paid accounts: AI-driven scanning is enabled by default. This ensures you immediately benefit from higher accuracy and better coverage during your evaluation or subscription.

• Free accounts: AI-driven scanning is disabled by default.

To opt out of AI-powered scans for your organization, contact Snyk Support to request a change.

Data privacy and security

Snyk prioritizes your privacy and the security of your data. When AI features are active for Snyk API & Web, Snyk handles data as follows:

• What is sent: Snyk sends specific components of web communications, such as portions of HTTP requests and responses, to the AI model for real-time analysis.

• No training on your data: Snyk does not use your proprietary code or sensitive request data to train, optimize, or fine-tune its AI models.

• Secure infrastructure: Snyk uses a combination of proprietary models and secure third-party LLMs. For third-party models, Snyk never uses your data for model training and retains it for no more than eight hours.
