Snyk Launches Secure Developer Program
February 26, 2025
Snyk announced the launch of the Snyk Secure Developer Program, a new initiative designed to empower open source software maintainers with developer-friendly security solutions.
Through this program, Snyk will provide qualifying open source projects with its enterprise-grade security platform – including the Snyk Enterprise License – and API access, at no cost. In addition, Snyk will provide hands-on support from its developer relations (DevRel) team, its Discord Community, and custom Partner Connect access, to help open source software maintainers implement and leverage the security tooling straight from Snyk’s experts and networks.
This program signals Snyk’s deepening investment into the open source ecosystem by enabling contributors to create code and software that’s not only innovative but inherently secure.
“At Snyk, we believe that every member of the far-reaching open source community plays a vital role in our overall global cybersecurity posture,” said Danny Allan, CTO, Snyk. “With this important new program, we’re deepening our investment in the open source ecosystem. By providing contributing developers with these much-needed additional resources, we’re helping to ensure that as they build the software that creates our collective future, this code is not only cutting edge, but secure.”
Applications are now open and open source community members can apply to the Snyk Secure Developer Program today. Qualifying participants must be part of an open source project that is not backed by a corporate entity and have at least 10K GitHub stars.
