Snyk Snyk is a developer-first cybersecurity platform that helps teams build fast without compromising on security. As developers rely heavily on AI to write code at unprecedented speeds, Snyk continuously scans and secures application code, open-source dependencies, containers, and cloud environments right within the developer's workflow. For an AI hackathon, it matters because shipping code quickly with AI generators or autonomous agents also means shipping security risks at machine speed. Snyk acts as an intelligent security layer, catching vulnerabilities and automatically applying verified fixes in real time—allowing builders to ship ambitious AI projects safely and with complete confidence.

At this event you will learn: 1) Sign-up for free (no credit card required), how to import your code, and configure your AI coding tool 2) Free AI Security Engineer Foundations Certificate
