Introducing Unified Navigation: A Faster Way to Secure Your Application Stack
Key Capabilities of Unified Navigation
1. A Single Source of Truth The new navigation bar consolidates all Snyk products—Code, Container, IaC, and Cloud—into one sidebar. You can now access the global search to find any project or issue across your entire organization instantly.
2. Context-Aware Shortcuts Snyk now recognizes what you are working on and provides intelligent shortcuts. This reduces the steps for common workflows from 8 clicks down to just 2 or 3, allowing you to move at the speed of development.
3. Developer-First Interface We’ve redesigned the experience to match how developers actually work. This includes Persistent Views; the platform now remembers your filters and workspace settings, so you don't have to rebuild them every time you log in.
4. Simplified Project Management Setting up new scans is now more intuitive. With a visual policy builder and templates, you can configure security rules without editing complex YAML files.
The Core Problem: Navigational Complexity
Currently, finding and understanding a specific security issue requires manual effort and several steps. Users often face:
Action Overload: An overwhelming volume of results without a clear path to the most important task.
Context Switching: Constant jumping between code, container, and infrastructure views to see the full picture.
High "Click Tax": Simple tasks like finding a specific vulnerability can take 8 or more clicks.
Security and development teams often struggle with a common problem: it takes too many clicks to get simple things done. In many environments, security data is scattered across different screens, forcing users to switch between multiple navigation areas to understand their risk.
This fragmentation creates operational friction. Teams spend more time clicking through menus than actually fixing vulnerabilities. To solve this, we are launching the new Snyk Unified Navigation.
This update moves Snyk away from a complex, multi-area interface to a streamlined, consolidated experience. It provides a single point of access for everything in your security program.
The Value to Your Security Program
By unifying the interface, we aim to help organizations achieve three main outcomes:
Reduce Triage Time: Cut the time spent reviewing alerts by 60% through better prioritization and faster navigation.
Increase Efficiency: Enable developers to find and fix critical issues 85% faster using global search.
Scale Security Teams: Allow small security teams to manage significantly more projects by removing manual navigation hurdles.
