This Snyk training is designed to help development and security teams identify, prioritize, and remediate application security risks across the software development lifecycle. The course covers Snyk platform fundamentals, open-source dependency security, container security, infrastructure as code security, code scanning concepts, vulnerability prioritization, and DevSecOps integration practices. Participants will gain practical insight into embedding security early in development workflows using Snyk.

• Understand the architecture, vulnerability management capabilities, and developer security features of Snyk for secure application  development.
• Set up and configure the Snyk environment, integrations, repositories, policies, and security components for development workflows.
• Design security scanning strategies, policy configurations, dependency management, and remediation workflows using Snyk  implementation approaches.
• Implement code scanning, container security, open-source dependency analysis, and CI/CD security workflows effectively.
• Debug, test, and optimize vulnerability scans, security policies, and platform performance for scalability, reliability, and compliance.
• Build secure, automated, and production-ready application security solutions using Snyk best practices.
