Large organizations with hundreds of development teams and tens of thousands of code repositories face challenges in efficiently identifying and remediating potential vulnerabilities within third-party libraries across numerous projects. Manual scanning and updating is time-consuming, error-prone, and can lead to delays in addressing security risks. While Grit.io is not primarily a vulnerability scanner, its pattern-matching and code transformation capabilities can be adapted for mass identification and remediation of vulnerable libraries. For each of these 3 areas listed above, we examined how Grit.io's unique features can complement Snyk.io's capabilities, resulting in a more robust and efficient security scanning process. We realize This synergistic approach addresses the limitations of relying solely on Snyk.io, resulting in improved code security and reduced risk of overlooking critical vulnerabilities. The limitations of security scanning tools like Snyk.io represent real challenges faced by development teams on a daily basis. These limitations can lead to: - Missed vulnerabilities in complex code structures - Overwhelming numbers of auto-generated PRs, causing developer fatigue - High rates of false positives, leading to wasted time and resources We considered implementing Grit into our pipelines to address these specific scenarios for code security, though Grit isn't a security tool: - Custom Rules and Pattern Creation - Remediation Pattern Creation - Automated Code Updates - Custom Pattern Recognition - Pull Request Generation - and others
