Snyk Alternative for Complete Software Supply Chain Security

Securing applications and the software supply chain requires understanding the relationships between applications, components, people, tools, pipelines, runtime environments and risks.

The Cycode platform was built specifically to fill the visibility gaps that have historically frustrated application security programs.

Where does Cycode stand out from Snyk?

Cycode provides comprehensive protection and visibility across the entire SDLC, securing applications as well as development tools and pipelines, with a holistic view of security that drives better and faster results.

Snyk

Protect Secrets

Identifies secrets across the entire SDLC - source code, build logs, Infrastructure as code, Kubernetes clusters, version histories, Docker images and productivity tools (e. g. Slack).

Partial

detect Leakage

Identifies leakage of private code and secrets in GitHub and GitLab public repositories and code snippets.

Harden SDLC Tools

Enforces secure configurations and best practices.

Secure Code

Identifies vulnerable application code with SAST.

Secure Code Dependencies

Identifies vulnerable code with SCA.

Secure Infrastructure as Code

Identifies IaC misconfigurations.

Protect CI/CD Pipelines

Next-gen SCA to protect against use of insecure tools, modules, dependencies in pipelines, prevent tampering.

Protect Cloud Deployment

Identifies misconfigured cloud resources and drift from IaC.

capabilities

Why choose Cycode over Snyk?

The Cycode platform includes and orchestrates all the AppSec tools you need, correlating security data and context across the SDLC to improve the accuracy and relevance of AppSec findings and improve collaboration between development, AppSec, and operational teams.

Secure SDLC Foundation

Cycode ensures tools are configured securely, roles are segmented and permissions audited, and security best practices are followed throughout the application lifecycle.

Pipeline Integrity

Cycode protects code and container dependencies, as well as pipeline dependencies such as open source build tools, pipeline actions and plugins, and infrastructure modules.

contextual Insights

Cycode monitors the entire SDLC and reports findings with full context so you can avoid the manual investigation and prioritize the most important findings.

Developer First

Cycode seamlessly integrates into developer workflows, providing security in commits and pull requests without leaving the development environment.

Risk Based Prioritization

With visibility from code to cloud, Cycode understands your application, dependencies, CI/CD pipelines and runtime.

Instant Value

Integrate your DevOps tools in less than 1 min to deliver immediate value and allow maximum agility across your SDLC.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should you look for in a Snyk alternative?

When evaluating Snyk alternatives, look for complete coverage across all stages of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and seamless integration with developer workflows.

Key features should include pipeline hygiene, proprietary scanners, integration with development tools, robust vulnerability detection, and automated remediation. Prioritize platforms that offer CI/CD pipeline security, Secrets Scanning, proprietary Static Application Security Testing (SAST) alongside Software Composition Analysis (SCA), integration with 3rd party security tools and development tools. Most importantly, a platform that can constantly prioritize and remediate the critical vulnerabilities.

While organizations could use point solutions, a holistic platform, such as an Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) platform that understands the relationships between applications, components, people, tools, pipelines, runtime environments and risks ensures better security coverage and efficiency. The result? Complete visibility and control of security risks across your entire environment.

What is Snyk?

Snyk is a security tool that focuses on identifying and fixing vulnerabilities in open-source libraries and container images also known as Software Composition Analysis or SCA. Snyk alone does not provide the full breadth of coverage needed for robust application security.

Alternatively, a complete ASPM platform should provide complete coverage for application security. A complete ASPM platform often includes CI/CD pipeline security, Secrets Scanning, AST capabilities (SAST, Software Composition Analysis (SCA)), IaC Security, developer workflows, vulnerabilities prioritization, remediation capabilities and a complete coverage throughout the entire SDLC from code to cloud.
