Docker is a containerization platform for bundling your code, dependencies, and runtime environment into self-contained units that run identically in different environments. Dockerizing a PHP application simplifies deployment by packaging the PHP runtime, a web server, and your source code and composer dependencies into a container. Getting started with Docker is easy. However, there are a few pitfalls you need to avoid before you can safely use it in production.

GitOps was pioneered by Weeveworks in 2017. It uses familiar tools to implement continuous deployment for cloud-native applications, improving the developer experience of Kubernetes cluster management and application delivery.

We’re happy to announce the open beta availability of Snyk’s new Risk Score! Replacing the existing Priority Score, the new Risk Score was designed to help you prioritize more effectively by providing you with an accurate and holistic understanding of the risk posed by a given security issue.

As GenerativeAI expands its reach, the impact of software development is not left behind. Generative models — particularly Language Models (LMs), such as GPT-3, and those falling under the umbrella of Large Language Models (LLMs) — are increasingly adept at creating human-like text. This includes writing code.

URL encoding is a method that ensures your URL only contains valid characters so that the receiving server can correctly interpret it. According to the RFC 3986 standard, URIs (which are a superset of URLs) only contain a limited set of characters consisting of digits, letters, and a few graphic symbols, all within the ASCII character set. If a URL contains characters outside this limited set, the characters must be percent-encoded.

As secrets have a role in most security incidents, Snyk is excited to partner with GitGuardian to help development and security teams scale their security programs and further reduce an application's attack surface at every stage of the code-to-cloud lifecycle. We recently spoke at GitGuardian's first digital conference, CodeSecDays, joining security leaders from Chainguard, Doppler, Kondukto, and more — who shared insights on software signing, open source security, and secrets management.

Incorporating security into the software development lifecycle helps ensure the creation of secure and robust software applications from the very beginning. To further evolve our security offerings in the developer community, we announced our partnership with Atlassian to introduce Snyk Security in Jira Cloud as a part of the Security in Jira launch in June. Snyk started gradually rolling out the Jira Security App and has significantly improved the functionality and features available to users.

On August 8, 2023, the.NET community was informed that the testing library called Moq exfiltrates developer's emails from their development machine and sends them off to third-party remote servers. Snyk has already published a security advisory and will alert developers who scan and monitor their.NET projects with Snyk.

As the partnership between Snyk and GitGuardian continues to grow, we’ve collaborated on a new cheat sheet that identifies key security considerations and tools that can help you mitigate risks and protect your code. The journey from code to cloud and back to code necessitates a holistic approach to security.
