Case Study: Asurion achieves scalable, developer-first product security with Snyk

Asurion Applies Risk Management To Software Development Using Snyk

Asurion, a global consumer electronics insurer serving 300 million customers with a 10,000‑person expert network, faced a growing gap between fast-moving development teams and enterprise risk management. With teams free to choose diverse stacks, Asurion lacked visibility and ownership of technical debt and security throughout the software lifecycle, so they sought a developer‑friendly solution like Snyk to introduce risk management into development without slowing engineers down.

Asurion implemented a containerized, Python‑based developer toolkit powered by Snyk that plugs into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Kubernetes, AWS, Artifactory) to provide SCA, container and vulnerability scanning, secret detection, SAST and IaC checks. The Snyk‑backed toolkit gave teams complete visibility, enabled engineers to remediate issues early before code reached production, allowed enforcement of security policies (e.g., blocking high‑severity issues), and drove organic adoption and stronger DevSecOps collaboration across the organization.
