Synack Solutions for the Public Sector

Synack finds exploitable vulnerabilities faster than traditional penetration testing with our community of ethical researchers paired with smart technology. Synack empowers risk and cyber teams to fortify the attack surface and achieve compliance for dedicated application security testing, enabling teams to pentest better for web + mobile applications, networks, APIs and cloud assets. Synack maintains the FedRAMP Moderate Authorized designation and is a trusted SaaS for dozens of government organizations.

The Synack Platform delivers solutions in the following areas:

  • API Security Testing

    API Testing

    • Headless API traffic is growing as organizations build interdependent communication technologies. Not all API endpoints are accessible through a web UI or tested during a web app pentest. Synack provides an adversarial perspective on these hidden endpoints.

  • Attack Surface Management

    Attack Surface Management

    • As a critical component to understanding your wider attack surface risk, Synack’s Attack Surface Discovery (ASD) manages your external attack surface with dynamic asset discovery and on-demand penetration testing.
  • Vulnerability Disclosure Program (VDP)

    Vulnerability Disclosure Program

    • Many government agencies are required to comply with BOD 20-01; Synack’s Managed VDP empowers them to do that by providing a white-glove option for responsible disclosure that runs point for busy security teams by handling vulnerability triage with remediation guidance, coordinates researcher recognition and delivers data to support CISA (or other internal) reporting, all backed by the premier security testing services available on the Synack Platform.
  • Vulnerability Management

    Vulnerability Management

    • The Synack Platform includes vulnerability discovery and assessment performed by a diverse global team of researchers. Vulnerability findings are triaged and clearly presented with information about severity, instructions for replication and convenient patch verification. Unlike a vulnerability scanner that clogs your workflow, you’re able to operate with proof that your attack surface is hardened from potential adversaries.

  • Application Security Testing

    Application Security Testing

    • Keeping pace with development cycles, application security testing with the Synack Platform goes beyond a simple scan and noisy report. Our global team of researchers can pentest your assets across web, mobile and cloud applications to find the vulnerabilities that matter. Analytics from penetration testing are triaged and presented with information about severity and how to replicate the web, mobile or cloud application vulnerability. You’re able to verify remediation efforts within the platform to ensure success — something you can’t get with traditional application security tools.

  • Cloud Security Testing

    Cloud Security Testing

    • Otherwise known as “penetration testing in the cloud”, Synack’s Cloud penetration testing solutions for your Azure, Google, AWS or multi-cloud environments help to identify security gaps in hosts or applications, before and after a migration.
  • Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS)

    Penetration Testing as a Service

    • Pentesting as a Service (PTaaS) gives security teams real time visibility into exploitable vulnerabilities across a variety of assets such as web applications, APIs, hosts and more.
    • Synack’s PTaaS offering includes the human security testing expertise of the Synack Red Team and the data-rich Synack Platform for asset and vulnerability management, test results, reports and analytics. This is special because PTaaS represents a progression from traditional pentesting to a more operationally efficient model, saving security teams time and budget while improving security postures. Scaling testing efficiently has never been better with on-demand testing services available at the click of a button. However, many PTaaS vendors continue to offer a “two-tester” model, only delivering a point-in-time report and checkmark for compliance. This delivery model doesn’t help security programs mature. The Synack Platform, in contrast, provides a better pentesting as a service experience by offering continuous testing backed by a community of more than 1,500 security researchers.
  • Pentesting AI / LLMs

    Pentesting AI

    • Pentesting AI and LLMs can identify vulnerabilities and reduce AI cybersecurity risk, removing opportunities for abuse. Synack AI/LLM pentesting is agnostic of your implementation or use case. Whether you are deploying a chatbot in your web applications, using GenAI to guide your customers along the buying journey or deploying an internal tool to improve operational efficiency within your organization, these LLMs share common potential flaws and AI cybersecurity risk. These flaws can be identified through Synack pentesting.
    • The Synack Platform connects your attack surface with The Synack Red Team (SRT), activating their diversity of perspectives and expertise, real-time results and unparalleled visibility into testing activity.
    • For AI and LLMs, researchers are guided to check for items listed in the OWASP LLM Top 10, for example including prompt injection. Prompt injection describes the phenomenon of carefully-crafted prompts causing an AI to divulge sensitive information, from customer data to source data.
    • Malicious prompts may also cause AI to inject malicious code or commands into downstream components, enabling the prompter to initiate remote code execution (RCE) or cross-site scripting (XSS). Additional vulnerabilities checked for include insecure output handling, model theft and excessive agency. SRT researchers will check for testable flaws and provide reports on what they find.

  • FedRAMP Moderate Authorized environment

    FedRAMP Moderate Authorized Environment

    • Synack holds the FedRAMP Moderate Authorized designation from the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). This enables agencies to test internal and external applications, including systems containing FOUO and CUI. FedRAMP Moderate is also IL2-reciprocal.

  • Achieve Zero Trust

    Achieve Zero Trust

    • Synack helps agencies meet the 4th pillar of Zero Trust, allowing them to comply with dedicated application security testing, advancing their moves to an overarching Zero Trust framework. Agencies that select Synack will also benefit from its FedRAMP Moderate designation, indicating that 325 security controls were met to enhance security for users working in Synack’s FedRAMP Authorized environment. Synack’s dedication to data security provides government practitioners with a layer of trust needed while utilizing services in the cloud.
