What happened
MongoDB's security team uses Snyk Open Source to automatically find and fix known vulnerabilities in third-party open source dependencies, replacing manual package checks before releases. Snyk is integrated with GitHub, Slack and Jira, and its dashboard gives security and development stakeholders a shared view of vulnerability status.
Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Snyk and MongoDB, not ours.
The MongoDB security team now has a tighter loop from when a security issue is identified in a package, to the time they know about it, to the time they fix it. The MongoDB team has built a streamlined workflow for removing third party dependency security issues.
There’s only a few security engineers at the company, but hundreds of developers; we will never scale with them, so we must proactively enable them.
