Averlon + Snyk: Transform Vulnerability Backlogs Into Action with Agentic AI

‍The backlog is growing. So is the pressure.‍

Security teams today are dealing with more than just vulnerabilities—they’re dealing with mounting backlog, unclear priorities, and constant pressure to prove real risk is being addressed. For developers, that means confusion, wasted cycles, and missed delivery timelines. For security leaders, it means unresolved exposure, missed SLAs, and tradeoffs that could slow down the business. 

That’s why we’re excited to announce our strategic partnership with Snyk—the leader in developer-first application security.

Snyk helps developers find vulnerabilities early in code, containers, IaC, and open source dependencies. Averlon leverages agentic AI to help security teams determine which of those issues matter, why they matter, and how to resolve or mitigate them quickly.

Together, we help organizations move faster, align teams, and turn vulnerability overload into meaningful risk-driven action—without chasing every CVE in the backlog.

Why Snyk and Averlon: A Better Way to Prioritize, Trace, and Act

Security and engineering teams ultimately want the same outcome: reduce risk without disrupting velocity. 

Yet a common frustration heard from leaders on both sides of the aisle:

“Visibility isn’t the problem—it’s visibility without context. The critical question is whether we’re fixing the issues that actually reduce our risk.”

Snyk’s 2024 State of Open Source Security report highlights a growing mismatch between development speed and security readiness:

• 82% of organizations now ship code weekly or more frequently—often with the help of AI-assisted development
• 56% of respondents are concerned that AI coding tools may introduce new vulnerabilities
• 52% of organizations already fail to meet SLAs for high-severity vulnerability fixes
• While open source projects have accelerated time-to-fix from 296 days in 2019 to 112 days in 2024, proprietary software is moving in the opposite direction—worsening from 137 to 220 days

The result is AppSec exhaustion. Security teams detect issues faster than ever, but lack the context, precision, and speed to resolve them before they become real risks.

This is where the Snyk-Averlon integration comes in.

This integration connects Snyk developer-led insights with Averlon’s environment-aware risk intelligence—pairing Snyk’s deep detection in code, IaC, and containers with agentic applicability analysis, attack chain mapping, context-aware prioritization, trace-to-source mapping, and automated remediation and mitigation.

With Snyk and Averlon together, security and engineering teams can:

• Surface and prioritize the small set of issues attackers could actually exploit in the environment 
• Trace risk to the source, whether in code, containers, or IaC
• Remediate faster—or apply automated mitigations like WAF rules or entitlement updates, even before code changes deploy

How This Integration Works

With a few key steps, Snyk and Averlon turn what could take hours—or even days—into minutes of action.

1. Snyk scans code, containers, IaC, and dependencies, surfacing deep application-layer vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle
2. Averlon ingests these findings alongside misconfigurations, identity risks, and runtime context
3. Using agentic AI, Averlon assesses applicability of each issue in the environment—for example, determining whether a vulnerable client library is relevant when the package is deployed as a server—and maps it into potential attack chains
4. From there, issues are traced back to their origin where they can be routed to the right owner, with the context and insights needed for timely, targeted remediation
5. Where appropriate, Averlon applies automated mitigation (e.g., identity or WAF policies updates) to reduce risk before code fixes are deployed
