Securing A Safer Cyber Future As the world becomes ever more comfortable with technology, Synack is ensuring that technology is safe for people to use. Synack is the first company in the world to combine human and artificial intelligence in the fight against malicious online actors, and has thus earned the title of Most Innovative Security Testing & Intelligence Platform – 2020 in Corporate Vision. In the evolving battle between man and machine, Synack plays a vital role in the protection of the former. We find out how. With more than three and half million open cyber security jobs predicted by 2021, one of the largest challenges facing the industry can be attributed to difficulty scaling. As more and more companies and industries are also digitalizing, it is becoming increasingly difficult to protect against devastating cyber security breaches with traditional security protection methods. Security needs to get smarter in order to keep up with the digital world, and that is exactly what Synack offers. Co-founders Jay Kaplan and Mark Kuhr launched their careers with the NSA and the US Department of Defense as technical security experts, protecting the country from both kinetic and cyber-attacks. They had a shared vision to revolutionize cyber security by combining human intelligence and artificial intelligence to create a scalable, effective security solution. Thus, Synack was born. A holistic and symbiotic solution, Synack harnesses the best of both human and artificial intelligence, leveraging them to incredible effect. In practice, Synack’s platform uses new algorithmic technology to continuously monitor for detected changes in the digital environment, identify potential vulnerabilities, and engage human researchers to validate these suspect vulnerabilities. Once the researcher has found a true, exploitable vulnerability and it has been externally validated by Synack, detailed reports that include replication and remediation of those vulnerabilities found are displayed in the client portal. This optimized technique of smart scanning and human creativity allows for accelerated remediation and discovery processes, augmenting security teams, and providing new insights and security metrics all year round. Simply put, there is no other security test like this on the market that leverages human and machine intelligence to solve for ever-expanding attack surfaces and vulnerabilities that are inevitable with increasing global digital transformation. Human hackers are only as good as their technology, and a hacking is made even more dangerous by the equipment that they have access to. By building a platform that utilizes the skillsets of ethical human hackers augmented and supported by machine-powered smart security technology, Synack is able to find and fix security vulnerabilities and flaws faster than hackers can exploit them. Bringing both man Issue 4 2020 41 Feb20322 and machine together, Synack is reshaping global cyber security and its testing space. Companies ranging from Fortune 100 to Global 2000, alongside numerous governments and government agencies have successfully used Synack’s augmented services to stop countless attacks, many being halted before they have even begun. The Synack Platform makes customers twenty times more effective in scaling up to prevent attacks, increase human intelligence efficiency by 73%, and allows organizations, institutions, and entities protected by the program to address critical vulnerabilities 40% faster. From aerospace to agriculture, construction to consulting, and telecom to transport, there are fewer and fewer industries in the world that are not looking at digitalization. The necessity for cyber security has never been more prevalent, with more consumers and businesses data in need of protection than ever before. Synack’s mission and company culture focuses on this, putting trust and customer protection first in everything. This mission has led to the pioneering of the Secure the Election, Synack Veterans Program, and the Courageous Women in Security initiatives. The Secure the Election initiative offers pro bono security testing of election systems; the Synack Veterans Program aims to recruit the nation’s top defenders for the cyber mission, and the Courageous Women in Security initiative encourages women to speak up for stronger security. With digitalization happening on a global scale, the future is incredibly bright for the team at Synack, having opened offices in the US, UK, and Asia. Ultimately however, Synack is in the business of trust, both in terms of building it with clients and helping them build it with their customers in turn. At every stage of that trust- building process, both people and security are critical. People at Synack put trust and privacy first, ensuring that in an ever-growing digital world, everybody else can rest assured of their trust and privacy also. Cyber security is one of the most important industries in the world right now, and having the peace of mind that comes from Synack’s platform is crucial to safe business online. Company: Synack Inc.
