    Snyk today launched the Snyk AI Trust Platform, an AI-native agentic platform specifically built to secure and govern software development in the AI era.

    The new Snyk AI Trust platform is the latest creation in Snyk’s developer security heritage, with a fast, accurate, and comprehensive set of testing engines to ensure proactive security across the entire software development life cycle (SDLC).

    “Snyk was founded with a mission to disrupt the legacy AppSec industry with what was previously an unconventional concept—putting security in the hands of developers. This is now considered an industry best practice,” said Peter McKay, CEO, Snyk. “AI should be welcomed, not feared, but it’s up to us to help our customers navigate this new world order—securely.”

    The AI Trust Platform includes:

    • Snyk Assist: an AI-powered chat-based experience with high context, just-in-time insights into Snyk features, next-step recommendations, and security intelligence;

    • Snyk Agent: a suite of AI-powered security agents that deliver automated actions and fixes across the development lifecycle generated by Snyk’s array of testing engines;

    • Snyk Guard: an AI governance solution that deploys guardrails to automatically assess, enforce, and adapt security policies in real-time based on evolving risk factors;

    • Snyk AI Readiness Framework: a model for building and maturing your organization’s strategy for secure AI-driven software development; and

    • Snyk Studio: enables AI-native partners to integrate Snyk’s capabilities into their coding assistant tools through Snyk’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.

    “I’m confident that the Snyk AI Trust Platform will be a game changer for global organizations looking to further invest in AI-driven development,” said Danny Allan, Chief Technology Officer, Snyk. “Autopilot didn’t replace the need for actual pilots, and in that same vein, we envision a world where AI augments developers but never fully replaces them.”

    Today’s introduction includes two platform-supporting curated AI trust environments, Snyk Labs and Snyk Studio. Snyk Labs is an innovation hub for researching, experimenting with, and incubating the future of AI security. Snyk Studio is where technology partners can collaborate with Snyk experts to build secure AI-native applications for mutual customers.

    Snyk Labs will serve as a resource for cutting-edge technical demos, thought leadership, and early insights into the emerging threats and standards rapidly shaping the AI security landscape.

    Initial research is focused on AI Security Posture Management (AI SPM), which includes an AI Bill of Materials (AI BoM) analysis that provides visibility into where and how models are embedded in software.

    Starting today, developers, security leaders, and early adopters of AI-native applications can explore these resources and follow the Snyk Labs journey on labs.snyk.io.

    In its initial phase, Snyk Studio will focus on partnering with technology companies with current AI solutions to help mutual customers deploy AI securely. Within Snyk Studio, these developers and technology providers can collaborate with Snyk security experts to embed critical security context and controls into their AI-generated code and AI-powered workflows.

    A key enabler of this new program is Snyk's newly developed MCP server. MCP provides a standardized and efficient way for AI models within technology partners' solutions to understand and incorporate rich security context from Snyk, allowing for more streamlined implementations.

    Snyk is also doubling down on its commitment to expand and deepen notable existing Global System Integrator (GSI) and Channel partner relationships to support security from code to cloud for modern AI apps.
