## AI overview

Snyk's risk-based prioritization approach helps application security teams evaluate vulnerabilities using factors such as severity, exploitability, and reachability instead of relying on vulnerability counts alone. The approach emphasizes visibility and context across the software development lifecycle to focus remediation on the issues posing the greatest risk and improve collaboration between security and development teams.
