The ROI of a Synack crowdsourced penetration test is estimated to be 53% higher compared to traditional pen tests due to increased effectiveness and efficiency. Help Synack crowdsourced security testing gain traction in the global market. As SAP, HPE, and Microsoft serve virtually 100% of the Fortune 500 and have a customer base of 180+ countries around the world and as crowdsourcing gains traction, Synack will be positioned to achieve 300% growth in its market share by 2019. Encourage more security teams to move away from compliance and volume-based metrics and move towards severity and overall risk metrics to judge the success of their programs. Synack consistently delivers an average of 12 high severity vulnerabilities per asset tested, which means that 12 Equifax-caliber vulnerabilities are identified and addressed, without one Equifax-type breach. With estimations on cost of breach to Equifax being $4 billion, offensive crowdsourced penetration testing could save each new customer over $48 billion next year. “We are thrilled to bring HPE, Intel, Microsoft, and SAP on board.
