Security outfit Synack announced a distribution partnership with Ignition Technology.
The agreement enables more organisations throughout the UK, Ireland, Nordics and BeNeLux to use the talents of the Synack Red Team, a vetted community of skilled ethical hackers, who work with Synack’s proprietary technology to hunt for critical software vulnerabilities.
Ignition Technology Chief Strategy Officer Sean Remnant said that cyberthreats were becoming more complex and persistent at a time when organisations face an unprecedented skills gap and lack the in-house talent to keep their systems safe.
“Synack addresses these challenges with its combination of continuous penetration testing by elite ethical hackers and artificial intelligence. Its testing platform has been designed with stringent controls and privacy safeguards to ensure our partners’ security offerings are even more robust and protect end-users”, he said.The Synack platform allows channel partners to deploy other complementary technologies offered by Ignition. This means that Ignition partners can enhance their existing security solutions by building compelling services related to identifying, testing and mitigating vulnerabilities.
Synack VP Sales EMEA Adrian Crawley said the agreement will enable Ignition Technology’s partners to offer greater value to customers while enabling them to reduce their cyber risk.
Partner recruitment will initially centre on security specialists focused on the mid-market and enterprise segments through resale, co-delivery or enhancing managed security services with AI and real-time, crowdsourced ethical hacking.
