Inkog vs Snyk
Snyk finds CVEs. Inkog finds infinite loops.
Snyk is a developer security platform focused on finding known vulnerabilities (CVEs) in open-source dependencies and container images. Inkog analyzes AI agent logic to find behavioral vulnerabilities — infinite loops, prompt injection, token bombing — that exist in your code, not in third-party libraries.

When to Use Each Tool
Use Snyk when...
Use Snyk for dependency management — knowing which npm/pip packages have known CVEs, scanning Docker images, and tracking license compliance across your supply chain.
Use Inkog when...
Use Inkog when you need to find vulnerabilities in your AI agent logic itself — not in the libraries, but in how your code uses LLMs, tools, and agent frameworks. These are first-party code issues that no CVE database covers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Snyk detect AI-specific vulnerabilities?
Snyk can flag known CVEs in AI libraries (e.g., a known LangChain deserialization bug), but cannot detect behavioral issues in your agent code like infinite loops, prompt injection paths, or missing human oversight. Those require analyzing your code logic, not the library versions.
Should I use both Inkog and Snyk?
Yes. Snyk secures your dependency supply chain, Inkog secures your agent logic. Together they cover both third-party library risks and first-party code risks in AI applications.
