As announced last week by our good friends at the Node.js Foundation, Snyk has agreed to take over from the amazing Node.js ecosystem vulnerability disclosure program. As a company that’s been part of this program from a very early stage — and has been inspired by it to create our own multi-ecosystem disclosure program — it is a great honor to have been entrusted with this responsibility, and we thank the Node.js Foundation sincerely for their trust in this matter.

In 2020, over 30 new major features were released across the Snyk platform — in Snyk Open Source, Snyk Container, Snyk Infrastructure as Code, and Snyk Code.

Our ultimate goal is to help development and security teams be successful in mitigating risk.
