Our take
As the cyberthreat landscape continues to get more complex, there is a need for sophisticated solutions. Fuelled by expertise in countering kinetic and cyber threats, Synak was founded to deliver on-demand security testing to meet this need.
Synack fosters an ecosystem where world-class security researchers collaborate to provide continuous penetration testing and vulnerability management. This allows the company not only to supply actionable results but also to cultivate a community-based approach to knowledge sharing.
In 2022, Synack was integrated into Microsoft Intelligence. This allowed it to bolster its innovation through collaboration with Microsoft's vast resources and expertise. As a result, Synack has fortified its position at the forefront of cutting-edge security solutions, and continues to launch new capabilities to address the evolving challenges of cybersecurity.
