Kaufman Rossin and Synack have established a strategic partnership to provide AI-driven, constant penetration testing services for regulated businesses.
This collaboration brings together Kaufman Rossin’s cybersecurity advisory division with Synack’s PTaaS platform and its network of vetted security experts, referred to as the Synack Red Team. The joint effort aims to transition companies from occasional, manual security evaluations to a more dynamic approach that constantly evaluates changing threat landscapes.
Closing gaps in security coverage
According to both firms, many organizations currently only test a small portion of their overall attack surface, leading to discrepancies between perceived and actual security conditions. Synack’s offering includes comprehensive penetration testing for web applications, hosts, clouds, APIs, AI, and large language models (LLMs), as well as attack surface management services. These tests can be aligned with infrastructure modifications, regulatory cycles, and evolving threats without necessitating changes in vendors or initiating new engagements.
Kaufman Rossin’s clients will have access to the entire Synack platform. The consultancy firm employs over 100 certified risk experts holding credentials such as CISSP, CISM, OSCP, and CRISC, serving sectors including financial services, fintech, healthcare, legal, and technology—fields that are subject to rigorous scrutiny regarding information security.
The companies highlight the tangible results from Synack’s platform, which includes a reduction in penetration test costs by up to 32%, an average saving of 22 days per project, and a 47% or greater acceleration in remediation timelines for severe vulnerabilities.
Strategic alignment
For Synack, this arrangement expands its presence among enterprise clients that need both technical testing capabilities and established advisory relationships. For Kaufman Rossin, the partnership introduces a scalable, ongoing testing mechanism to its current cybersecurity consultancy service portfolio, which is particularly pertinent considering increasing compliance demands in regulated industries.
Moving forward, the two firms plan to offer integrated security solutions that combine advisory services with continuous testing and risk validation. This strategic move capitalizes on the growing overlap between AI-powered attack strategies and AI-enhanced defense mechanisms, positioning them as key players in ensuring robust security practices.
