Pentesting, vulnerability management, API security testing and a managed VDP for the Public Sector

As your organization’s digital footprint scales and transforms, so too must your security testing.

Whether driven by initiatives such as business transformation or more secure code deployments, truly strategic security testing requires on-demand access to scarce, highly skilled and diverse testing talent.

As you scale it becomes challenging to ensure vulnerabilities don’t exist and, oftentimes, to obtain the security testing coverage that matters most to your organization. This is due to noisy results, managing a high number of vendors and inefficient and disruptive reporting. In an ideal scenario, testing results are clearly communicated in ways that are actionable to internal teams, promote efficient remediation and help security leaders identify the root causes of vulnerabilities.

Furthermore, digital transformation brings with it a more dynamic attack surface: code deployments introduce new vulnerabilities, cloud environments evolve, compliance and regulatory requirements remain a priority, and APIs abound. Because of this dynamism, point-in-time security assessments are no longer representative of your holistic security posture over time. Plus, with the rising complexity of application architectures, it is unlikely that one or two testers will have sufficient expertise to cover complex architecture variations. More diverse skill sets are required.

Additionally, adversaries are becoming more sophisticated as breaches and ransomware increase in frequency. Announced vulnerabilities can be deployed as attacks by adversaries in minutes, faster than most organizations can respond.

These challenges give rise to the need for continuous, agile and effective security testing that can combat today’s adversaries with offensive techniques.

Synack has the experience and capability to reduce risk for organizations at every stage of their digital transformation. The best part: Synack is designated FedRAMP Moderate Authorized, which enables government agencies to pentest and access testing data in a FedRAMP environment.

Powered by highly-vetted researchers working in a SaaS platform built to scale, we empower security with better penetration testing, coverage with actionable analytics, vulnerability management, operations and support, APIs and integrations, and managed community access. Built on a platform, Synack’s security testing enables efficient remediation and helps security leaders identify the root cause of vulnerabilities so they can prioritize and eliminate them.
