Synack Triumphs at the Global InfoSec Awards

In a significant achievement for the world of cybersecurity, Synack has won two prestigious awards at the Global InfoSec Awards, hosted by Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM) during the RSAC 2026. This recognition cements their position as a leading force in the market for AI-driven cybersecurity solutions and highlights their pioneering role in Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS).

With over 13 years of experience, Synack has been at the forefront of cybersecurity, providing elite penetration testing services to global enterprises, government agencies, and critical infrastructure sectors. The company's innovative technology combines human expertise with active AI to enhance cybersecurity resilience, reduce operational costs, and minimize risks associated with security operations.

“Winning these awards reflects what our clients already perceive: a security process that operates at machine speed with human insight,” stated Jay Kaplan, the CEO and co-founder of Synack. As cyber threats escalate, Kaplan notes, continuous AI-driven testing has become a standard requirement for proactively addressing modern threats. This approach marks a significant shift from a reactive model to a proactive, continuous strategy.

Angela Heindl-Schober, Synack’s marketing director, emphasized that AI is revolutionizing the data security landscape. “By automating the detection and validation of vulnerabilities, organizations can streamline their security processes, reduce noise from irrelevant alerts, and focus on the vulnerabilities that matter most,” she remarked. This combination of AI and human expertise allows for robust cyber resilience essential for modern security frameworks.

According to a 2026 study conducted by Omdia, 87% of organizations are either planning, testing, or actively using these AI-driven solutions. This transition is largely driven by a growing need to cut down the time and costs involved in vulnerability detection and management. Synack's active AI tool, Sara Triage, autonomously validates scanner results to pinpoint genuinely exploitable vulnerabilities, thereby minimizing noise and accelerating remediation processes. For instance, when a Fortune 200 company deployed Sara Triage on 200 potential vulnerabilities, it successfully flagged only two as exploitable, achieving an impressive 99% reduction in noise from non-exploitable findings.

Moreover, a Fortune 500 client identified 112 high-priority or critical findings, with Sara Triage confirming many as
