Synack at Gartner’s 2022 Security and Risk Summit

Conference season is back! In addition to the RSA Conference, Synack will be well represented at the Gartner Security and Risk Summit June 7-9 in National Harbor, MD. You can visit us at any time during the conference on the show floor at Booth #357. We will feature demos of the Synack Platform, showcasing how you can bridge the talent gap with on-demand researchers and engage in a better pentesting experience to find every vulnerability that matters.

Additionally, Synack CEO, Jay Kaplan, will give his presentation, “Staying Secure in the Midst of a Talent Crisis,” at 1:35 p.m. on June 8 in Theater 2 Exhibit Showcase. Synack’s East Coast presence centers around the cybersecurity talent gap. Criminal hackers are creative and persistent, so pentesters and security professionals must be, too. However, no matter how experienced a practitioner is, how many certifications they have, or how many tools they know how to use, there will always be exploits they haven’t considered.

That’s why getting researchers with a diversity of skills and perspectives to defend your attack surface is critical to finding every vulnerability that matters. Naturally, the more eyes on target, the more variety there will be in skills, certifications and tactics.

In the midst of the cyber talent gap, however, hiring a multitude of skilled professionals with just the right combination of qualifications to truly protect your organization’s attack surface is a pipe dream. Find out how Synack is solving for this problem by attending our show floor booth or our presentation on June 8. We’re looking forward to seeing you!

He also shares candid advice for other CISOs on avoiding the false sense of security that comes from infrequent testing and over-reliance on perimeter controls.

How an OpenAI Model Escaped its Guardrails
During an internal evaluation with its safety guardrails switched off, an OpenAI model escaped its test environment and breached Hugging Face's production systems, again, this time to steal answers to its own benchmark. No one told it to. It decided that on its own.

The Hugging Face Breach Lesson on Autonomous AI Attacks
On July 16, an autonomous AI agent breached Hugging Face's production infrastructure end to end. When Hugging Face tried to investigate, the same guardrails built to stop AI attackers blocked their own responders from analyzing the evidence. Here's what that means for security teams building on AI, and what to test before a breach happens.
