Synack Expands Security Testing Capabilities
In a bid to enhance security testing capabilities, Synack, a leading security testing platform, has introduced a continuous Attack Surface Discovery offering and scalable AI penetration testing. The new offerings aim to assist security teams in proactively addressing evolving threats.
Recent studies indicate that only 9% of organizations actively monitor their entire attack surface. The rise of AI-enabled cyber threats has further exacerbated the challenges faced by security defenders in maintaining visibility across their infrastructure.
Addressing the Security Gap
Dr. Mark Kuhr, CTO and co-founder of Synack, emphasized the importance of integrated Attack Surface Discovery in bolstering organizations’ defenses against cyber threats. The platform’s continuous discovery feature identifies new assets for testing, provides insights into inventory and asset fingerprinting, and offers tailored user permissions through role-based access controls.
Key benefits of Synack’s security testing platform include:
- Continuous discovery of new assets
- Comprehensive vulnerability triage and root cause analysis
- Access to a Red Team comprising over 1,500 trusted security researchers
Adapting to Modern Threats
As the threat landscape evolves, Synack has adapted its services to address emerging challenges. The rapid pace of software development underscores the need for continuous vulnerability assessments, particularly in AI and large language model (LLM) applications.
Government agencies in the U.S. are increasingly adopting AI technologies, with over 1,200 current and planned use cases. However, the Government Accountability Office highlighted the challenges agencies face in effectively managing AI-related risks.
Testing AI and LLM Applications
Synack’s Red Team possesses expertise in generative AI technologies, enabling the platform to test the latest AI and LLM applications in alignment with the OWASP LLM Top 10. By offering specialized testing services, Synack aims to help organizations mitigate risks associated with rapidly evolving attack surfaces.
