Synack

Synack is a security company revolutionizing how enterprises view cybersecurity: through a hacker’s eyes.

Synack’s private, managed hacker-powered security solution arms clients with hundreds of the world's most skilled, highly vetted ethical hackers who provide a truly adversarial perspective to clients’ IT environments.

Synack was founded in 2013 by Jay Kaplan and Mark Kuhr. The company is headquartered in Redwood City, California.

Synack’s business includes a vulnerability intelligence platform that automates the discovery of exploitable vulnerabilities for reconnaissance and turns them over to the company’s freelance hackers to create vulnerability reports for clients.

Synack’s cloud-based platform combines AI with on-demand remote access to more than 1,500 security researchers in 82 countries worldwide to dramatically scale continuous testing of web and mobile applications and host assets.

 

Synack protects major organizations from leading global banks and Fortune 500 companies with close to $1 trillion in total revenue, to government agencies including the DoD. The company has also developed Hydra, a platform built to spot vulnerabilities and look for out-of-date software for clients. The first form of Hydra went live on October 21, 2015. 

 

Synack is backed by GGV Capital, GV (formerly Google Ventures), Hewlett Packard Enterprise, C5 Capital, Icon Ventures, Intel Capital, Kleiner Perkins, Microsoft's venture fund M12 and others. The company raised $52M in Series D round on May 28, 2020. This brings Synack's total funding to $112.5M to date.
