Synack PTaaS
Platform

An end-to-end security testing solution to find and
remediate the vulnerabilities that matter and improve
your security posture over time

One platform, many uses.
Expect a Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) platform that provides full control and visibility of the attack surface, reveals patterns and deficiencies in your security program, enables organizations to take action on critical vulnerabilities and provides executive-level reporting for leadership and the board of directors.

Benefits

Expect to Find Your Most Critical Vulnerabilities

CAPABILITIES

Оne Platform to Reduce Your Attack Surface Risk

Attack Surface Discovery

Maintain a current inventory of attack surface assets, from web applications to IP addresses, and verify the last time an asset was pentested.

Attack Surface Analytics

Make attack surface data actionable. Find and fix security gaps in the attack surface by conducting additional pentesting and identify apps and services to add to your testing program.

Vulnerability Discovery

Automated and human-led discovery of vulnerabilities. Through scanning and penetration testing, exploitable, high-impact vulnerabilities are confirmed and triaged into the platform.

Vulnerability Management

Ensure vulnerabilities are remediated to close security gaps. Integrate vulnerability findings into existing SOC solutions, confirm remediation of vulnerabilities with patch verification and manage your vulnerability disclosure program.

Reporting

Share findings and perform root cause analysis to improve processes. Reports can be tailored for DevSecOps, executive leadership and your organization’s board of directors.

How It Works

Platform Controls and Operations

1

Self-service Security Testing

Spin up tests from the platform

The Synack Platform enables users to activate the Synack Red Team with the click of a button. Respond in hours to the next Log4j vulnerability or launch a pentest on a critical new asset through the platform.

2

Vulnerability Disclosure Programs

 

Hands-off vulnerability acceptance and triage

Vulnerability submissions from the public and proving exploitability are handled by an internal Synack team. If a vulnerability is deemed valid, it will appear on the platform, ready to be remediated.

3

Testing Controls

Visibility and control of all testing

The Synack Platform provides you the ability to monitor all testing traffic, track researchers’ testing hours, identify attack traffic with one IP address, instantly stop testing at any time, store all testing data on Synack endpoints and cleanse upon request.

4

Operations & Support

Dedicated teams for scoping and testing

Dedicated customer support teams provide day-to-day support with scoping, coverage and testing operations. Synack’s vulnerability operations team ensures that only verified, exploitable vulnerability findings are presented to you, reducing false positives and noise.

5

API & Integrations

Reduce operational friction

Integrating Synack into other security workflows improves responsiveness, triage and remediation of vulnerabilities. Share data and verify security posture across our integrations with Microsoft, Splunk, Jira and ServiceNow.

Managed  Community Access

Synack manages a community of security researchers with patented technology. Synack controls and oversees all researcher and scanner traffic to ensure holistic coverage of assets. Additionally, Synack provides full transparency into the domains and IPs tested by the Synack Red Team. We go beyond bug bounty models by handling payments, performing rigorous background checks and indexing researcher skills, so you don’t have to.

Penetration Testing as a Service

Transform your pentesting program with fast and flexible deployment options, vulnerability management and access to a community of elite security talent.

On-demand Security Testing

Check for zero days, run compliance checklists and achieve other targeted security objectives through a self-service security testing platform that includes a catalog of security tasks.

Managed Vulnerability Disclosure Program

Reduce risk with a strategic Managed Vulnerability Disclosure Program that will improve your ability to scale, manage, triage and remediate all VDP findings.

Traditional, point-in-time pentests are no longer viable in our agile delivery approach. Continuous pentest programs like the one from Synack are the only way to securely deliver customer value at the pace we want. ANTON GÖBEL – INFORMATION SECURITY OFFICER, ALLIANZ DIRECT
We particularly liked being able to interact with researchers on our schedule when we had questions. With a regular pentest, we would have lost access to the testers when the test was over. SAL DAZZO – DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING, VARO BANK
The service is exceptional; we’re seeing vulnerabilities…It’s fast, it’s effective, and proves its worth internally. MARK WALMSLEY – CISO/MANAGING DIRECTOR, FRESHFIELDS
FAQ
People also ask…
The Synack Platform
View
Why use Synack pentesting instead of a competitor?

Synack provides better speed, coverage and depth than competitors. We can start a test in days, not weeks or months. We provide reporting that gives you control and visibility into testing traffic. Synack uses a model to incentivize our global researcher community to provide high quality results and catch critical vulnerabilities. Finally, Synack provides a platform with government-grade security controls to all customers through a FedRAMP moderate designation.

View
What options do you provide for pentesting?

Synack provides both point-in-time and continuous options for pentesting. Our pentesting products include Synack14, Synack90 and Synack365. Synack14 provides a two-week process for pentesting while Synack90 and Synack365 provide 90-day and year-round options respectively.

View
How many users can I add to the platform?

Unlimited users can be added with all Synack products.

View
What assets can I pentest through the Synack Platform?

We provide security testing for host assets, web and mobile applications, APIs (including those without an accompanying interface) and cloud environments.

View
What does “coverage” mean to Synack?

The Synack Platform doesn’t just deliver vulnerability findings; it provides information about the testing coverage that you’re receiving when a test is performed.

That means that we show you how much attack traffic you’re receiving, enumerate what kinds of attacks researchers are attempting and provide written reports that showcase the work done to test your attack surface, even when there are no exploitable findings.

View
Does Synack have pentesting for APIs and the OWASP Top 10?

Yes. We also test for the majority of vulnerabilities in the API OWASP Top 10 and can run vulnerability checklists derived from resources like the web application security testing guide (WSTG) from OWASP.

View
Does Synack provide a report that my CISO can take to the board?

Yes. The Synack Platform allows for fully customizable reporting. One type of report generation is the “executive summary”, which will quickly export vulnerability findings over time, information about remediation efforts, and a summary of the overall testing coverage performed on your assets.

How is your pentesting approach different from Bug Bounty programs?

Unlike bug bounty providers, which bring in thousands of researchers with varying levels of experience, we vet and manage a tightly-knit community of only the most highly-skilled applicants.

View
Do I have to pay the researchers per vulnerability?

Synack goes beyond bug bounty models by handling vulnerability payouts for our community of researchers. That means that you pay flat rates on testing, no matter how many vulnerabilities are found on your attack surface.

View
How do I pay the researchers?

Synack handles payment to the researchers based on their vulnerability findings, you only need to purchase Synack products from the catalog.

View
How can I trust your ethical hackers?

Each Synack Red Team member is highly vetted through a multi-stage process that involves background checks and skill assessments. To see more information about our vetting process, click here
