Meeting the AI Mandates with Confidence: Why Federal Teams Trust Snyk

By Phoebe Nerdahl |

August 5, 2025

Federal agencies are moving fast to unlock the potential of AI—from improving citizen services to driving mission outcomes. But with all that innovation comes a new wave of complexity and risk.  Security, trust, and transparency can’t be afterthoughts. They need to be part of the build process from day one.  That’s where Snyk for Government comes in—now FedRAMP authorized, we’ve taken it even further with the launch of the Snyk AI Trust Platform May 2025. 

AI isn’t magic. It’s built on code, containers, infrastructure templates, and APIs—and increasingly, it’s generating code on its own, generating 40% more vulnerabilities than human developers. Agencies need to track, fix, and manage continuously.  With Snyk, you can shift left and Secure-by-Design:

  • Spot and fix risks early—automatically and at scale
  • Keep developers moving fast while staying compliant
  • Build AI systems that are secure from the ground up

Meet the Snyk AI Trust Platform

Launched in May 2025, the Snyk AI Trust Platform is the first of its kind: an AI-native, agentic security platform designed for how modern teams build today. It gives agencies the tools to move quickly without compromising trust.

This isn’t just DevSecOps—it’s security built for the era of AI-driven, autonomous software development.


How Snyk is supporting new federal AI mandates

Trusted, Transparent AI Development

As agencies embrace AI, expectations around objectivity and transparency are front and center. Snyk helps teams meet those expectations with tools that focus on real technical risks—not subjective filters.

  • Credible vulnerability intelligence: Sourced from standards-based orgs like CVE, CWE, and NIST
  • Customizable policy enforcement: Agencies stay in full control with Snyk Guard’s real-time, no-bias policy engine
  • Integrated into your pipeline: From GitHub to Terraform to container registries—Snyk fits your workflow, not the other way around

 Scaling Secure AI Infrastructure

New funding and fast-tracked initiatives mean federal developers need security tools that keep up.

  • FedRAMP authorized: Snyk is cleared for use across federal cloud environments
  • Automation where it counts: Agentic tools like Snyk Assist and Snyk Agent surface issues and fix them before they ship

 Building Export-Ready, Trusted AI Systems

As global collaboration increases, secure supply chains are more important than ever. Snyk helps you ship software that’s secure, auditable, and globally trusted.

  • Standards-aligned: Support for SBOMs, AIBOMS, international compliance, and NIST-aligned policies
  • Agentic AI security: Governance that scales to GenAI assistants and LLMs—wherever and however they run
  • Broad ecosystem support: Integrates with the open tools your dev teams already use

Whether you’re modernizing legacy systems, launching new GenAI services, or strengthening cross-agency pipelines, Snyk helps federal teams move fast, stay secure, and build trust into every line of code.
