Distology signs Snyk distribution deal across Europe

Distology has signed a distribution agreement with Snyk covering the UK, DACH and Benelux markets.

The deal gives Distology’s resellers and partners access to Snyk’s AI Security Platform and Agent Security products, as demand rises for tools that address risks in software development and AI-assisted coding.

It also expands Snyk’s reach across Northern Europe through Distology’s channel relationships, with local support and regional coverage included in the agreement.

Security teams are facing a shift in how software is produced. As organisations use AI tools to generate code faster, they are also dealing with more application vulnerabilities and open-source risks that are harder to control if discovered late in the development cycle.

Snyk’s products are designed to move security earlier in the process by helping developers identify and fix issues while writing code, rather than waiting until software is closer to release.

For Distology, the agreement adds application and AI security to a portfolio focused on cyber suppliers and services. It plans to support partners with training, technical assistance and sales support, alongside enablement for services such as implementation, DevOps and consultancy.

Sarah Geary, Chief Commercial Officer at Distology, said the company is seeing stronger demand from organisations that want to embed security earlier in software development.

“We’re seeing growing demand from organisations that need to secure applications earlier in the development process.

“AI is accelerating software development, and customers need a security solution that can keep pace. By bringing Snyk into our portfolio, we’re giving our partners a way to step into that conversation. This isn’t a transactional sale. It’s about helping customers rethink how they build and secure applications from the outset, which opens the door to higher-value services,” said Geary.

Channel Focus

The partnership is part of Snyk’s channel strategy, centred on working with a smaller number of specialist partners that can provide technical and pre-sales support around its products.

Snyk serves more than 4,800 customers globally and has been building its position in application security as AI becomes more embedded in enterprise software development.

Tom Evetts, Vice President Sales and General Manager at Snyk, said many organisations are trying to balance faster software delivery with the need to maintain security oversight.

“Speed of development is important for organisations to maintain their competitive edge,” said Evetts.

“But they know it can’t happen at the expense of security, which is why demand in our space is so strong and why we wanted to appoint a partner we trust to support our channel in the right way.

“We’re very selective about who we partner with. For us, it’s about working with a company that understands the cybersecurity sector and can support partners with technical depth, strong presales and local-language capability,” he added.

Market Demand

The partnership reflects a broader shift in the security market as software supply chains become more complex and AI tools become standard across development teams. That has increased interest in products that help engineering teams address vulnerabilities during coding rather than relying only on later-stage testing.

Distributors and resellers are also looking for areas where they can attach services and consulting work, particularly in segments where customers need support to change internal development and security practices.

The agreement is intended to help partners build offerings around application and AI security rather than simply resell licences.

“This is about giving partners access to areas of the market where they can add real value,” said Geary.

“Application and AI security is clearly one of those.”
