Snyk API & Web by Snyk Reimagines DAST for the AI Era
Snyk, a leader in developer security, is introducing Snyk API & Web, delivering a new dynamic application security testing (DAST) solution designed to meet the growing demands of modern and increasingly AI-powered software development.
The successful acquisition and integration of Probely's cutting-edge DAST technology into Snyk’s application security platform is a key milestone in unifying critical AppSec testing techniques into a single Developer Security platform, the company said.
Snyk API & Web offers a robust solution for developers and AppSec teams to proactively discover, inventory, and secure API vulnerabilities before they become threats.
The announcement of Snyk API & Web follows an overwhelming customer response to the expanded DAST capabilities introduced with Snyk’s acquisition of Probely, the company said.
“We’re excited that our customers have recognized the value in a comprehensive, developer-first approach to API Security Testing and Dynamic Testing of Web endpoints,” said Manoj Nair, chief innovation officer, Snyk. “This signifies that more organizations are equipping their developer and AppSec teams to safely leverage the benefits of GenAI coding. We’re not only looking forward to more secure GenAI-assisted development, but also the ability to significantly revolutionize the DAST space with AI techniques that Snyk continues to deliver to the AppSec market.”
As part of the company’s ongoing development efforts, Snyk is working toward an additional integration enabling AppSec teams to access a centralized view of Web, API, and Code assets all within a single interface, according to Snyk.
This aims to empower teams with real-time insights, bringing together static application security testing (SAST), software composition analysis (SCA), and DAST findings in one seamless dashboard.
Additionally, Snyk API & Web is planned to include enterprise-grade capabilities through a new Command-Line Interface (CLI) designed for organizations with extensive asset portfolios. This enhancement will allow users to programmatically manage scans, targets, and findings at scale, streamlining workflows and enabling automation across CI/CD pipelines.
