00:45 — On the back of a $196.5 million deal in series G funding at the close of 2022, cybersecurity company Snyk has announced it will receive another $25 million in funding from ServiceNow.
01:02 — ServiceNow is already an existing Snyk customer but the company decided to extend its relationship with strategic funding and plans to integrate Snyk’s tools into ServiceNow’s vulnerability response platform.
01:31 — Synk is providing a level of security at the development stage, also known as DevSecOps. Kieron says this announcement demonstrates two things:
