For developing award-winning websites, developers have reliable and easily accessible security tools. Many new developments come into the picture to support developer security, and Synk Cloud is one such recent development.

Synk, a Boston-based cybersecurity company that specializes in cloud computing, has launched Synk Cloud. Synk Cloud is the industry's first all-in-one cloud security solution for developers.

Adi Sharabani, the CTO of Snyk, has announced the launch of Snyk Cloud, a groundbreaking product in the industry. It is a developer security solution that caters to all crucial phases of a contemporary application's lifecycle, starting from development to production, tailored for the cloud era. The team is thrilled to introduce this innovative product to the world.

Let us talk about the unique features of Synk Cloud and how it helps developers code and deploy secure apps in the cloud.

A Brief Introduction to Synk Cloud

Synk Cloud is focused on the unique needs of DevSecOps teams globally. This latest development allows developers to build, test, and deploy app more secure cloud applications from Synk laC in the IDE through to the app’s production. Please note that IaC provides fix advice for making necessary changes directly to code before production.

Synk Cloud and Synk laC work together to prevent security risks and data breaches. Synk Cloud ensures secure applications throughout the development cycle, saving time and costly fixes later on.

Features of Synk Cloud

Synk acquired Fugue earlier this year, which made it possible to introduce Synk Cloyd. By combining Synk’s laC and Snyk Container with Fugue's Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) capabilities, the company created this fully-featured cloud security solution.

Other key features of Synk Cloud are discussed below:

Powered by a unified policy engine

Snyk provides a unified policy engine that allows developers to apply the same security rules to infrastructure as code files as well as runtime cloud resources. Combining the unified policy engine with other Synk products helps developers to identify and address issues throughout the development lifecycle.

Allows for faster fixes

Synk Cloud can be connected back to laC, enabling faster security fixes directly in the IaC source. Simply view the underlying SCM source code link for any given security issue. Synk allows developers to view resource configurations while keeping a tab on IaC remediation guidance.

Securing cloud before deployment

With this new development in the industry, codes can secure the cloud before deploying their application. They can maintain the app's integrity while it is running. This is all thanks to Synk Cloud’s feedback loop, which provides real-time security feedback. This allows developers to identify and fix misconfigurations and vulnerabilities in code. So, you can identify potential security risks early in the development stage. This is how Synk Cloud enables coders to develop secure deployments that remain almost unaffected by cyber threats.

Conclusion

Synk's customers have constantly reported better security risk postures and saved the time involved in finding and fixing vulnerabilities. Moreover, Synk Cloud’s ability to give real-time security feedback enables coders to discover and fix security risks efficiently and quickly without compromising anything.
