What is PTaaS, the latest stage of security testing?
Many organizations are moving to this model and for a good reason. But there are a lot of different solutions to choose from, and not all of them deliver the same results. In this Cut to the Chase demo, Senior Product Marketing Manager Justine Salisbury explains what makes Synack’s PTaaS model stand out compared to the competition. Listen in to learn more about our scalable testing capabilities and how we take PTaaS to the next level with vulnerability root cause analysis, real-time reporting and analytics, full-packet capture of all Synack Red Team testing and various integrations to streamline the remediation process.

Dr. Mark Kuhr, a former National Security Agency employee, faced a host of challenges when he co-founded Synack with CEO Jay Kaplan in 2013. As CTO for the security testing company, Mark has led Synack through dramatic growth while working to shift the mindset of some cybersecurity practitioners. For instance, the Synack platform, featuring access to security researchers around the globe, initially faced skepticism a group of essentially strangers pentesting enterprise networks? Not the most convincing argument for CISOs. But through a trust-but-verify approach, Synack’s take on security testing has risen to prominence in the industry.
In this episode of WE’RE IN!, Mark explains how he recruited a community of global top hackers to join the burgeoning Synack Red Team and what’s at stake as AI capabilities ramp up for attackers and defenders alike.
Listen to hear more about:
- Mark’s predictions about the use of AI for offensive operations, including selecting targets and applying exploits
- Synack’s FedRAMP Moderate Authorized status and how other organizations can secure approval to work with sensitive government data
- How the integration of AI in cybersecurity is increasing the pressure on organizations to patch and mitigate vulnerabilities faster.

Take control of your digital transformation journey
Cloud computing is taking the digital world by storm, but it doesn’t come without serious migration risks. In order to reap the benefits of all the cloud has to offer and continue on your digital transformation journey, it’s important to implement proper security measures to ensure assets stay secure.
In this white paper, we’ll discuss:
- The state of digital transformation
- The risks of migrating applications to the cloud
- The liability of cloud configuration and APIs
- A comprehensive outline of the various types of cloud security testing
- A better way to pentest assets in the cloud

Annual report answers how organizations address critical risks
There’s no such thing as a “good” vulnerability. With organizations facing growing threats like zero days, expanding attack surfaces and run-of-the-mill XSS, the prioritization of flaws can get out of hand. However, tackling those “crown jewel” assets and addressing critical to high-severity vulnerabilities first can help teams reduce time-to-remediation.
This report looks at five industries (healthcare, financial services, U.S. federal government, technology and manufacturing) and their most common vulnerabilities to see how they stack up against each other.
There is good news to report and some troubling findings that organizations should be mindful of. Read the report to learn:
- Which vulnerabilities continue to plague security teams
- Which industries saw the greatest average number of exposed subdomains, web apps and IP addresses
- Strategies to move the needle with vulnerability management

Research evaluates the usage of pentesting solutions and their effectiveness
An independent survey led by Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), in partnership with Synack, reveals that 75% of respondents are likely to consider a switch from traditional pentesting approaches to the new generation of platform-based solutions, like pentesting-as-a-service (PTaaS). While pentesting is viewed as a critical component of risk and vulnerability management programs, organizations still face challenges in mitigating risk and preventing security incidents.
This survey breaks down important key findings regarding organizational needs and challenges regarding pentesting approaches. Statistics and insights from the survey reveal:
- Top challenges in securing the attack surface
- Most common drivers for deploying pentesting strategies (and it’s not compliance)
- Primary reasons organizations find traditional pentesting approaches inadequate
- Why organizations seek a platform-based approach, like PTaaS
