Notes
Important Considerations for Snyk:
- Snyk acquired DeepCode (AI-powered code analysis) - understand how AI is used
- Check if Snyk Code (SAST) has different data handling than Snyk Open Source
- Verify if Snyk Broker (for on-premise scanning) addresses data sovereignty concerns
- Understand the difference between CLI, IDE, and CI/CD scanning for data handling
- Check if vulnerability database updates require data sharing
