Snyk delivers developer-first security to organizations, empowering development teams to own, automate and deliver secure applications.

Israeli cybersecurity company Snyk has announced closing a $150 million fincncing round led by New York growth equity firm Stripes. This latest round follows a late 2019 fundraise of $70 million and increases Snyk's total investment to $250 million and the company's valuation to more than $1 billion.

Snyk goes beyond shifting security left, offering continuous security and compliance from source code to production and back again.

McKay said, "This investment accelerates Snyk's significant momentum in transforming the way application security is approached and delivered in software-driven enterprise organizations. With rapid 2019 revenue and customer growth from both individual users and scaling development teams, we are seeing the market embrace developer-first application security to help tackle the increasing cybersecurity concerns that come with digital transformation."

Snyk integrates into the technologies and platforms that cloud application developers prefer, prioritizing the developer experience to encourage true adoption. This is reaffirmed by more than 400,000 developers who embrace it worldwide.
