Synack offers a security testing platform that specializes in continuous penetration testing, which simulates cyber attacks to identify vulnerabilities in computer systems. Their service is carried out by the Synack Red Team, a global group of expert security researchers who assess various areas such as cloud services, APIs, web applications, host infrastructure, and mobile platforms. Unlike traditional penetration tests that are conducted once, Synack's approach allows for rapid deployment of testing services, enabling clients to launch assessments in days rather than weeks. This model not only helps in reducing risks over time but also provides clients with real-time, customizable reporting, giving them full visibility and control over the testing process. Synack's goal is to help companies protect their digital assets from increasing cyber threats by providing scalable and continuous security solutions.
