Snyk, the leader in developer security, announced the expansion of its current partnership with Google Cloud to advance secure code generated by Google Cloud’s generative-AI-powered collaborator service, Gemini Code Assist. By using Snyk’s solutions alongside Gemini Code Assist, customers can incorporate AI-driven code creation to develop secure applications faster.
Developer teams worldwide are increasingly leveraging AI to accelerate the speed of software development. However, code generated by AI-based methods can bypass protocols from the security team. In addition, developers may not evaluate the code as often as they should. Snyk works alongside today’s modern developer teams with the goal of harnessing the many benefits of AI-assisted coding, while also providing full trust that the code is secure.
Snyk Code, static application security testing (SAST) built by and for developers, can now be integrated with Gemini Code Assist to provide global developer and security teams with even greater trust in the code they’re generating – both by human developers as well as AI. Snyk Code helps to ensure the security of AI-assisted coding without interfering with the enhanced productivity Gemini Code Assist provides. Security teams that use Snyk can also confidently use its security capabilities alongside Code Assist.
