Description

Crowdsourced security testing is becoming the "Gartner standard". Earlier this year, Gartner predicted that by 2022, automated and crowdsourced testing services would be employed by more than 50% of enterprises.

What has led to the previously unimaginable adoption of crowdsourced security testing by the world’s most recognizable companies and government agencies in place of traditional pen testing?

We'll discuss how organizations are embracing crowdsourced security testing to:

-Proactively detect and report holes in critical applications and networks, before a criminal hacker gets there first

-Gain a true understanding how areas of weakness and subsequent exploitation relate to overall business risk, and how remediation and testing schedules can be prioritized accordingly

-Visualize how a true adversary views their attack surface

We'll then talk about how companies are utilizing a Synack's crowdsourced security testing platform for effective, efficient, and controlled hacker-powered testing and walk through a demo of the Synack platform.
