The short answer
The registry records Snyk Developer Security Platform as a possible interpretation of SNYK* DEVSEC. This descriptor-to-company association has not passed claim-level evidence review. Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.

Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: Seeing SNYK* DEVSEC on your statement means you were charged for cloud-based code analysis and vulnerability testing provided by Snyk Limited. This descriptor actually represents a Snyk Developer Security Platform subscription, which offers automated dependency scanning, container security audits, and infrastructure-as-code evaluations designed to protect software projects against security vulnerabilities.
Unreviewed registry note: Most recurring charges appear because an engineering team or individual developer upgraded from free repository scans to a paid tier, or because active contributor seats renewed automatically. Snyk bills organizations monthly based on the total count of unique contributors who commit code to connected repositories during the active billing cycle. When project headcount expands or automated scanning limits are exceeded, monthly fees scale up accordingly.
Unreviewed registry note: To review your detailed billing history, download monthly invoices, check active seat allocations, or manage subscription tiers, sign into your developer dashboard online and navigate to the organization settings panel. From there, you can modify corporate payment methods, adjust user licenses, or downgrade your plan to free tiers if automated security scanning is no longer needed by your development team.
