Case Study: Handshakes achieves software supply chain visibility and reduced critical vulnerabilities with Snyk

How Handshakes gained supply chain visibility with Snyk

Handshakes, a Singapore-based company that helps organizations across Asia make informed business decisions, needed better visibility into its software supply chain to support security, compliance, and reporting needs. With limited security resources and a mix of open source, first-party code, IaC, and container risks to manage, the team wanted a single platform that would give developers, security staff, and leadership a clear view of their overall threat landscape. Snyk’s Developer Platform was chosen to bring more security awareness into the development process and simplify reporting from one place.

Snyk consolidated Handshakes’ application security tooling into one developer security platform covering Open Source, Code, IaC, and Container Security, integrating with Azure, AWS, Azure DevOps, GitHub, and Jenkins. The result was a 42% increase in developer tool adoption over five months, a 99% reduction in critical vulnerabilities, and an 80% decrease in vulnerable projects. Handshakes also began building a security champions program to sustain adoption and keep improving its software supply chain security with Snyk.
