About Synack

Synack is pioneering a new era of cybersecurity, fusing the ingenuity of ethical hackers with the power of AI to provide comprehensive, continuous security testing. Founded by former NSA security experts, Synack's mission is to secure the digital world by proactively discovering exploitable vulnerabilities before they become critical business problems. Their crowdsourced platform has already identified over 71,000 exploitable vulnerabilities, protecting Global 2000 companies, federal agencies, and close to $1 trillion in Fortune 500 revenue.
