"Secure at inception" rules

To practice Secure at Inception, Snyk recommends adopting rules that align the LLM for secure code generation and workflows

Rules

Project security best practices

  • Always run Snyk Code scanning tool for new first party code generated.
  • Always run Snyk SCA scanning tool for new dependencies or dependency updates.
  • If any security issues are found based on newly introduced or modified code or dependencies, attempt to fix the issues using the results context from Snyk.
  • Rescan the code after fixing the issues to ensure that the issues were fixed and that there are no newly introduced issues.
  • Repeat this process until no issues are found.
