10. Implementing Snyk for Vulnerability Management
We implemented Snyk for a client to analyze and identify vulnerabilities across all layers, including critical, high, medium, and low-severity risks. This discovery process revealed security issues that the business was previously unaware of. By prioritizing critical and high risks, the client addressed vulnerabilities through:
– Minor code changes
– Library updates
– HTTP to HTTPS migrations
– SSL certificate updates
The implementation enhanced the client’s security posture and compliance with best practices.
