Case Study: Komatsu reduces vulnerability fix time with Snyk

How Komatsu decreased mean time to fix vulnerabilities by 62% in three months

Komatsu, the Australia-based distributor of equipment, technologies, and services for construction, mining, industrial, and forestry markets, wanted to shift security left across its business units and vendors. To improve application security and consolidate tooling, the company turned to Snyk, using Snyk Open Source and Snyk Code to support its DevSecOps strategy.

Snyk was integrated into Komatsu’s existing developer workflows through Visual Studio and Azure DevOps, creating a single pane of glass for open source and code vulnerability scanning. The results were significant: Snyk’s scans were 2x faster than Komatsu’s previous tool, mean time to fix vulnerabilities dropped by 62% in three months, and application risk posture improved by 28% over six months.
