0 mins readA year ago, we made a deliberate decision: not to chase AI Security, but to define and lead it.
That decision is paying off: customers are building with us, not just evaluating us. But being in the right market is not the same as moving at the speed it now demands. The way software gets built is changing faster than at any point in our careers, with AI and autonomous agents writing, deploying, and modifying code, and creating more security problems our customers face right now. So we are organizing to move at that speed, with a more focused team, a clearer mission, and the tools to build faster for you.
Here is what you can count on: we’ll keep investing in the products you run today and the people who support you. The work we do to protect what you ship will not slow down. That is the core of this company, and we are building on it.
What is changing is how we are organized. We are simplifying our structure so we can move faster for you, and that includes reducing the size of some teams. We are saying goodbye to colleagues we respect, people whose work is in the products you use every day, and we are treating everyone affected with fairness and care. I am grateful for everything they built.
We will continue to innovate and build new products to address the pain points of the AI era, leveraging the platform we have built over the years. We launched Developer Security in 2017 and built that category. That foundation is exactly what everything we are building now stands on. Over the past year, we've built the Snyk AI Security Platform to secure code, models, and intelligent systems across the entire software lifecycle. That includes

OpenAI## Moving Forward
We are aligning R&D around four focused areas and unifying under one leader. These aren't reorganization headings. They're the four things that matter most to customers navigating the AI Fog: AI-written code, autonomous agents in production, vulnerabilities that now chain into real attacks, and adversaries that never sleep.
We are flattening leadership so decisions move faster, and unifying go-to-market so your experience, from first conversation through deployment and renewal, is more consistent and accountable.
None of this comes at the expense of the security you depend on today. We are protecting your software now and building what secures the AI-driven software coming next, which is the whole point of a platform. The result for you is simpler: a shorter path from our innovation to your value.
To our customers and partners #
Thank you for your trust. Our commitment to your security remains as strong as ever. The momentum you have helped create is exactly why we are sharpening our focus to serve you better and take you further into the AI era. It all comes back to a simple purpose. Our mission is to ** secure software at build speed**, keeping what you build and ship safe at the pace AI now creates it. Our vision is a world where
. You'll see us move faster, stay closer, and deliver more of what this moment requires.
