Synack is built for security teams managing complex attack surfaces who demand quality, assurance, and control in their penetration testing programs. The Synack platform fuses the speed and scale of intelligent AI agents with the judgment and creativity of highly vetted human testers, producing continuous, high-fidelity assessments that go far beyond automated scans. The result is a single, integrated approach that improves coverage, streamlines vendor management, and gives security teams greater control over cost and outcomes.
Founded by former NSA cybersecurity operators, Synack was created to bring military-grade discipline and adversarial thinking to modern enterprise security. The company has enabled nearly 10 million hours of expert, hands-on testing to protect some of the world’s most sensitive infrastructure, from global financial systems to U.S. Department of Defense networks. This blend of advanced AI innovation, proven human expertise, and unmatched testing volume positions Synack as a trusted leader in offensive cybersecurity.
The name Synack is inspired by a foundational concept in cybersecurity: the three-way handshake that establishes trusted network connections. This process includes synchronize and acknowledge steps that allow data to move securely between sender and receiver. From this continual exchange of information came the idea of combining technology and human intelligence into a new kind of handshake—one designed to transform how cybersecurity works. That idea became Synack.
