Performing SCA Dependency Scanning with Snyk
When to Use
- When applications use open-source packages that may contain known vulnerabilities
- When compliance requires tracking and remediating vulnerable dependencies (PCI DSS, SOC 2)
- When needing automated fix PRs for vulnerable dependencies in CI/CD
- When license compliance requires visibility into open-source license obligations
- When continuous monitoring is needed for newly disclosed vulnerabilities in deployed dependencies
Do not use for scanning proprietary application code for logic vulnerabilities (use SAST), for runtime vulnerability detection (use DAST), or for container OS package scanning alone (use Trivy for a free alternative).
Prerequisites
- Snyk account (free tier covers up to 200 tests per month for open source)
- Snyk CLI installed or Snyk GitHub/GitLab integration configured
- SNYK_TOKEN environment variable set with API authentication token
- Project with supported package manifests: package.json, requirements.txt, pom.xml, go.mod, Gemfile, etc.
