Technology pillars of the Synack Platform Hydra Hydra is your force multiplier. The reconnaissance tool continuously scans for any suspected vulnerabilities and gives our Red Team advantages by automating the recon and prioritization phases for security researchers to provide scalability to human testers. Hydra immediately notifies you and the Synack Red Team of all new findings on attack surfaces, detected changes, and suspected vulnerabilities across client assets. Hydra runs 24/7/365 across all assets in scope. Apollo Apollo is the brain driving the platform. Our continuous learning engine uses data science and machine learning to automate repeatable tasks and augment detection with new insights. Strengthened by our learnings from working with the SRT, Apollo augments Hydra to make it an enhanced scanner, better than the rest. LaunchPoint LaunchPoint puts the customer in control. All SRT testing traffic is routed through LaunchPoint, Synack’s proprietary secure gateway technology.
