A Powerful Way to Manage Application Risk with Snyk & ServiceNow

[lanemclaughlin]

Imagine your code base as a sprawling city. It's bustling with activity, constantly growing and evolving. But just like any city, it has vulnerabilities – hidden alleyways where attackers could sneak in and wreak havoc. As a devSecOps or security operations manager, you're responsible for keeping this city safe.

That's where Snyk and ServiceNow come in, offering a powerful integration to help you manage your application risk. Snyk’s developer-first platform provides a comprehensive approach to application security by securing critical components of the software supply chain, AI-generated code, and more.

The Snyk Security for Application Vulnerability Response integration provides a single, unified view of all your vulnerabilities, allowing you to identify, prioritize, and fix them efficiently within your ServiceNow workflows.

The outcome of the Snyk and ServiceNow integration is a comprehensive, faster vulnerability response management, plus additional context to fine tune your organization’s security posture.

Why Snyk & ServiceNow?

The Snyk and ServiceNow integration brings together the best of both worlds.

• Snyk's Security Insights: Snyk scans your code base, including open source dependencies and first-party code, to identify vulnerabilities. It then prioritizes these vulnerabilities based on a risk score, helping you guide developers to fix the most critical issues first.
• ServiceNow's Workflows: ServiceNow excels at managing workflows. The integration creates automated processes to handle vulnerabilities, making it easier to work with developer teams on assigning tasks, tracking remediation progress, and generating reports.

Benefits of the Integration

• Complete Visibility: IT operations and application security teams gain a holistic view of their application security posture in one place. See the status of vulnerabilities, who they're assigned to, and how they're being addressed.
• Faster Remediation: Snyk's risk prioritization scoring, combined with vulnerability calculators from ServiceNow, help you focus on the most critical vulnerabilities first. ServiceNow workflows automate tasks, streamlining the remediation process.
• Lower Risk Score: By efficiently fixing vulnerabilities, you can demonstrably improve your overall application security posture.

How it Works

The integration is easy to set up. Simply download the Snyk for ServiceNow Application Vulnerability Response app in the ServiceNow store. Once configured, Snyk automatically feeds Snyk Open Source (SCA) and Snyk Code (SAST) findings into ServiceNow to automatically create and update ServiceNow Application Vulnerable Items (AVITs).
