What happened

Feed of Snyk blog posts (Feb–Mar 2026) covering how LLMs are reviving millions of abandoned open‑source packages and increasing supply‑chain risk; the emergence of the AI Security Engineer role to protect AI‑native systems; Snyk’s partnership with the Python ‘uv’ ecosystem to provide high‑performance package management with native security; write‑ups from the Fetch the Flag CTF 2026 (web/AI/crypto challenges); and integration of Anthropic’s Claude Code Security with Snyk’s AI Security Fabric to close the vulnerability discovery→remediation loop.
