'Testing Times, Penetrating Insights: Why You Need To Rethink Your Security Surveillance'

If you were trying to provide 24-7 security to a physical location, you’re not going to rely on driving past once a year and taking a photograph. Yet this is exactly what a lot of businesses seem to be doing when it comes to their digital security.

An enterprise that wants to understand its digital weak spots will carry out a penetration test. But the pentest will only show what the white-hats could find at that time: the zero-day that’s discovered next week, the configuration errors introduced by new equipment you’re not installing until the next quarter, the sensitive files that the difficult employee you’re going to fire next month tries to access on their way out – none of those will appear in the PDF report you received this morning.

What is needed, Synack suggest, is ongoing, active, high-fidelity surveillance of your systems’ weak spots. An automated process will miss a lot of stuff, but their global network of 1500 ethical hackers can replicate the real-world threat much more accurately. And by blending that human insight and expertise with technology that helps to scale the service, they can deliver results in real time via and overlay business-specific context. This means you’ll get sufficient detailed information to allow you to take the minute-by-minute decisions necessary not just to fix today’s problems, but reduce your risk going forward.

Join a group of your fellow senior cybersecurity leaders, and representatives from Synack, to find out about what you can gain if you trade in your annual security snapshot for an always-on risk-surveillance solution.
