The Snyk CLI is a command-line tool that scans projects for security vulnerabilities across open-source dependencies, application code, container images, and IaC configurations. It integrates into local development workflows, IDEs, and CI/CD pipelines, with monitoring via the Snyk platform.
Use cases
- scan npm dependencies for known vulnerabilities
- find security issues in my source code from the terminal
- scan docker images for vulnerabilities in CI
- check terraform and kubernetes configs for insecure settings
- add vulnerability scanning to my CI/CD pipeline
- monitor my projects for newly disclosed CVEs
When to choose
- you want developer-first security scanning across dependencies, code, containers, and IaC from one tool
- you need CLI-based scanning that fits into local dev, IDEs, and CI/CD pipelines
- you want continuous monitoring and auto-fix suggestions for open-source vulnerabilities
When to avoid
- you need a fully self-hosted scanner with no cloud service dependency
- you require an OSI-approved open-source license for commercial use
- you only need dynamic (DAST) or runtime security testing
