Cybersecurity company Snyk announced the launch of Snyk API & Web, a new dynamic application security testing or DAST solution designed to meet the growing demands of modern and increasingly AI-powered software development. The new service integrates technology from Probley, a startup acquired by Snyk into Snyk’s application security platform. The technology unifies critical AppSec testing techniques into a single developer security platform. The DAST service seeks to assist in dealing with risks that can occur when businesses increasingly leverage generative AI and use APIs to bridge the gap between LLMs and the applications they fuel. Snyk argues that APIs introduce vulnerabilities that can expose AI models to significant risks, jeopardizing the security of entire software supply chains. 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 new service offers tools designed to simplify DAST for developers and security teams. The inetgration also leverages AI-driven capabilities to detect vulnerabilities that are often missed by conventional methods. This makes the solution especially useful in fast-paced development environments where speed and accuracy are paramount. API & Web also includes an AI-powered API Security Testing engine that uses generative AI and traditional machine learning models. The engine helps developers better map the growing API attack surface and automate the process of scanning for vulnerabilities.
