Snyk Learn, our developer security education platform, now includes lessons on API security! Check out the new learning path that covers the OWASP Top 10 for API security risks. APIs power the modern web, connecting applications and services in ways that drive innovation and efficiency. However, with this interconnectivity comes significant security risks.

JWTs are often used by developers who seek to implement authentication over traditional cookie-based sessions. However, what happens when developers misunderstand JWT security and risk a severe broken authentication vulnerability?

As developers continue to adopt AI tools to transform their workflows, AI-generated code has become more common. In fact, 96% of developers reported using AI coding assistants to streamline their work. Although generative AI (GenAI) tools like ChatGPT can speed up workflows and boost productivity, the security and quality of the outputs aren’t guaranteed.

AI has made good on its promise to deliver value across industries: 77% of senior business leaders surveyed in late 2024 reported gaining a competitive advantage from AI technologies. While AI tools allow developers to build and ship software more efficiently than ever, they also entail risk, as AI-generated code can contain vulnerabilities just like developer-written code. To enable speed and security, DevSecOps teams can adopt tools to integrate security tasks into developer workflows.

How good is Symbolic AI as an automated expert system for analyzing code paths and detecting security vulnerabilities? Snyk Code is tested and demonstrates the benefits of rule-based, algorithmic systems.
