Case Study: Overstock achieves scalable application security across 1,500+ applications with Snyk

Why Overstock Chose Snyk For Scaling Security Across 1500 Applications

Overstock, a leading online retailer, needed to scale application security across roughly 1,500 applications and several thousand projects while ensuring developer adoption and clear coverage metrics. To meet that challenge they chose Snyk, using Snyk’s platform—particularly the Snyk API and project tagging—to provide a usable, scalable way to manage security across a large and growing estate.

Snyk implemented centralized API-driven workflows and project tagging so Overstock could bulk-edit, filter, and scan projects automatically, integrate with SCM and developer tools, and pull reporting on coverage and remediation. The result: security scanning was scaled across 1,500+ applications, engineers saved substantial time by making bulk changes instead of per-project edits, and Overstock gained enhanced visibility into application scanning coverage and remediation metrics with plans to expand tagging further.
