Prioritized cloud risks have transformed our small team and focus now shifts to weaponizable threats

The best features Skyhawk Security offers are the ability to prioritize your work, especially when you have limited staff, and ensure that you address the most important issues first and with urgency. A security team is usually very thin-spread and doesn't have a lot of resources to solve issues. Skyhawk allows me to prioritize those based on the actual probability of a vulnerability being exploited. Skyhawk Security helps me prioritize through the dashboards. They have a dashboard that shows me the amount of vulnerabilities that I have. From those vulnerabilities, it lists out the ones that are exploitable. From the ones that are exploitable, it shows me the ones that are weaponizable and how they are weaponizable. From there, it shows me the ones that are weaponizable and have the ability to impact my Crown Jewels. Skyhawk Security has positively impacted my organization because we are a small security team, and Skyhawk Security allows us to prioritize our work. We are better at what we do, and it doesn't take more people to do more important work. With the limited staff that we have, we are able to address the things that pose the highest risk to us first, rather than take all the critical vulnerabilities and address them one by one without any type of prioritization. Our outcomes since using Skyhawk Security changed because we went down from thousands of vulnerabilities that we needed to review and address to a prioritized list that includes a handful of vulnerabilities that we needed to fix because they were the most urgent. We then have a work plan to address all the others. From a focus perspective, it improved the focus of my team, and it improved the efficiency and effectiveness of my team because we are now addressing the most urgent issues first.

Improves security posture by actively reducing critical vulnerabilities and guiding remediation

Snyk's main features include open-source vulnerability scanning, code security, container security, infrastructure as code security, risk-based prioritization, development-first integration, continuous monitoring and alerting, automation, and remediation. The best features I appreciate are the vulnerability checking, vulnerability scanning, and code security capabilities, as Snyk scans all open-source dependencies for known vulnerabilities and helps with license compliance for open-source components. Snyk integrates into IDEs, allowing issues to be caught as they appear in the code dynamically and prioritizes risk while providing remediation advice. Snyk provides actionable remediation advice on where vulnerabilities can exist and where code security is compromised, automatically scanning everything and providing timely alerts. Snyk has positively impacted my organization by improving the security posture across all software repositories, resulting in fewer critical vulnerabilities, more confidence in overall product security, and faster security compliance for project clients. Snyk has helped reduce vulnerabilities significantly. Initially, the repository had 17 to 31 critical and high vulnerabilities, but Snyk has helped manage them down to just five vulnerabilities, which are now lower and not high or critical.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Skyhawk Security has positively impacted my organization because we are a small security team, and Skyhawk Security allows us to prioritize our work."

"The initial setup process is easy and intuitive."

"It helps us in reaching the ISO27001 certification."

"We fell in love at the first sight."

"The CLI feature is quite useful because it gives us a lot of flexibility in what we want to do. If you use the UI, all the information is there and you can see what Snyk is showing you, but there is nothing else that you can change. However, when you use the CLI, then you can use commands and can get the output or response back from Snyk. You can also take advantage of that output in a different way. For the same reason, we have been using the CLI for the hard gate in the pipeline: Obtain a particular CDSS score for vulnerability. Based on that information, we can then decide if we want to block or allow the build. We have more flexibility if we use the CLI."

"I find SCA to be valuable. It can read your libraries, your license and bring the best way to resolve your problem in the best scenario."

"The most valuable feature of Snyk is the SBOM."

"Snyk has given us really good results because it is fully automated. We don't have to scan projects every time to find vulnerabilities, as it already stores the dependencies that we are using. It monitors 24/7 to find out if there are any issues that have been reported out on the Internet."

"Snyk's focus on security is a valuable feature. Also Snyk supports multiple programming languages, which has positively affected my security practices. I use only two or three languages, and when I change the language in a file, it detects it in the same suite. I find the AI-powered scanning overall beneficial.Using Snyk's AI-powered scanning, I can detect around ten or twenty errors in my project with about twenty thousand lines of code, so it helps improve my project by identifying a lot of potential vulnerabilities."

"Snyk has positively impacted my organization by improving the security posture across all software repositories, resulting in fewer critical vulnerabilities, more confidence in overall product security, and faster security compliance for project clients."

"A main feature of Snyk is that when you go with SCA, you do get properly done security composition, also from the licensing and open-source parameters perspective."

"We use Snyk to check vulnerabilities and rectify potential leaks in GitHub."

Cons

"Skyhawk Security can be improved mainly by improving the UI so it is a little bit easier to use, and the speed that it takes pages to load are the main downfalls."

"The solution needs automatic testing."

"The platform’s interface needs enhancement."

"The solution needs automatic testing."

"A feature we would like to see is the ability to archive and store historical data, without actually deleting it. It's a problem because it throws my numbers off. When I'm looking at the dashboard's current vulnerabilities, it's not accurate."

"They were a couple of issues which happened because Snyk lacked some documentation on the integration side. Snyk is lacking a lot of documentation, and I would like to see them improve this. This is where we struggle a bit. For example, if something breaks, we can't figure out how to fix that issue. It may be a very simple thing, but because we don't have the proper documentation around an issue, it takes us a bit longer."

"Basically the licensing costs are a little bit expensive."

"They need to improve the Snyk plugins and make it easier to make your optimizations based on your own needs or features."

"All such tools should definitely improve the signatures in their database. Snyk is pretty new to the industry. They have a pretty good knowledge base, but Veracode is on top because Veracode has been in this business for a pretty long time. They do have a pretty large database of all the findings, and the way that the correlation engine works is superb. Snyk is also pretty good, but it is not as good as Veracode in terms of maintaining a large space of all the historical data of vulnerabilities."

"Snyk can be improved on the reporting aspect regarding the traceability of SCA."

"The log export function could be easier when shipping logs to other platforms such as Splunk."

"Compatibility with other products would be great."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a three. It is a cheap solution."

"Their licensing model is fairly robust and scalable for our needs. I believe we have reached a reasonable agreement on the licensing to enable hundreds of developers to participate in this product offering. The solution is very tailored towards developers and its licensing model works well for us."

"I would rate the pricing of Snyk at two. I'm currently using the free version, which the company offers before buying the full version. So, the price is affordable, especially for an enterprise."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"Snyk is an expensive solution."

"You can get a good deal with Snyk for pricing. It's a little expensive, but it is worth it."

"It's inexpensive and easy to license. It comes in standard package sizing, which is straightforward. This information is publicly found on their website."

"It's good value. That's the primary thing. It's not cheap-cheap, but it's good value."
