Case Study: DigitalOcean fixes critical Ruby Gem vulnerabilities within a day with Snyk

DigitalOcean Used Snyk to Resolve a Critical Ruby Gem Vulnerability in a Single Day

DigitalOcean, a cloud platform provider with a large mix of Rails and single-page web applications, needed a faster, more reliable way to keep third-party dependencies and vulnerabilities up to date. Before using Snyk, individual technical leads handled dependency tracking manually, making timely response to newly disclosed issues difficult.

Snyk integrated into DigitalOcean’s development lifecycle to scan third-party libraries and provide automated remediation for vulnerable dependencies. With Snyk, DigitalOcean fixed two Nokogiri vulnerabilities within a single work day, upgrading multiple services and internal libraries to a safer version and rolling them through pre-production, significantly reducing exposure time to critical open source risks.
