Snyk Creates Operational Roadmap for the AI Governance Maturity Model
Cybersecurity firm Snyk released an executive guide that outlines a five‑phase operational roadmap for AI governance, embodied in its Evo platform. The model moves organizations from static, paper‑based policies to continuous discovery, risk scoring, real‑time enforcement, least‑privilege controls, and ongoing validation. By integrating visibility, control, and accountability into developer workflows, Evo creates a live system of record for AI models, agents, and dependencies. The approach aims to reduce shadow AI, secure the AI supply chain, and provide provable compliance.
