The integration of Snyk and ServiceNow offers a streamlined, comprehensive approach to application security.
- Snyk’s Developer-Centric Security Platform: Snyk is designed to identify vulnerabilities in code early in the development process, including open-source dependencies and first-party code. It uses risk prioritization to guide teams on which vulnerabilities to address first, enabling a more focused and efficient remediation process. Snyk’s detailed insights help ensure that the most critical vulnerabilities are tackled immediately, reducing potential risks to the application and the organization.
- ServiceNow’s Robust Workflow Automation: ServiceNow excels in creating and managing workflows that keep operations running smoothly. With the integration of Snyk, it automates the vulnerability remediation process. This means security operations and DevSecOps teams can seamlessly assign tasks, track remediation progress, and generate reports—all from within the same platform. ServiceNow’s workflow capabilities improve efficiency, ensuring that security tasks are properly assigned and prioritized, and helping teams stay organized.
Key benefits of the integration
- Complete Visibility Across Security Posture
With the integration, teams get a unified view of vulnerabilities and their remediation status. IT operations and application security teams can see which vulnerabilities are outstanding, who is responsible for addressing them, and the progress that has been made. This transparency ensures that no issues are overlooked, and vulnerabilities are addressed promptly.
- Faster Remediation of Vulnerabilities
The combination of Snyk’s vulnerability risk scoring and ServiceNow’s automated workflows significantly speeds up remediation. By prioritizing the most critical vulnerabilities, your teams can focus on resolving the most pressing issues first, ensuring faster and more effective remediation. This accelerated process reduces the window of exposure to vulnerabilities, mitigating potential risks much quicker.
- Improved Application Security Posture
The integration allows for efficient and timely remediation of vulnerabilities. By addressing security concerns as soon as they are identified, organizations can dramatically improve their overall security posture. With vulnerabilities resolved promptly, the overall risk score is lowered, demonstrating a proactive approach to application security that enhances trust and reliability.
- Streamlined Compliance and Reporting
For organizations that need to meet strict compliance standards, the integration helps streamline the process. With real-time visibility into the status of vulnerabilities and their remediation, teams can easily generate reports that show how vulnerabilities have been addressed. This makes compliance reporting easier and ensures that security operations are aligned with organizational and regulatory requirements.
How the Snyk in ServiceNow integration works
The Snyk and ServiceNow integration is easy to set up and configure. First, you need to install the Snyk for ServiceNow Application Vulnerability Response app from the ServiceNow store. Once installed, Snyk will automatically send vulnerability findings from both Snyk Open Source (SCA) and Snyk Code (SAST) into ServiceNow, where they will be used to create and update Application Vulnerable Items (AVITs).
These AVITs are then tracked and managed using ServiceNow’s workflow automation tools. Tasks are automatically assigned to the appropriate teams for remediation, and progress is tracked in real time. The integration allows teams to efficiently manage vulnerabilities without duplicating effort or losing sight of critical issues.
Conclusion
The integration of Snyk’s in-depth security scanning and ServiceNow’s workflow automation creates a comprehensive system for tracking, prioritizing, and remediating vulnerabilities within existing workflows. This not only saves time but also ensures that vulnerabilities are addressed in a timely and effective manner, helping to maintain a secure application environment.
