Synack was founded in 2013 by former NSA cybersecurity operators, created to bring rigorous adversarial thinking to modern enterprise security. The company states it has enabled nearly 10 million hours of expert, hands-on testing to protect sensitive infrastructure, from global financial systems to U.S. Defense Department networks. Its name derives from the TCP three-way handshake — SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK — reflecting an approach that brings technology and human intelligence together.
