## What the story says

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.
