Case Study: Freshfields strengthens cybersecurity and accelerates vulnerability remediation with Synack

Freshfields shores up its cybersecurity to protect itself and clients

Freshfields, a global law firm handling complex international matters, needed stronger, faster assurance that its networks and cloud applications would withstand sophisticated threat actors. Facing delays and limited depth from traditional penetration testing, Freshfields turned to Synack for rapid, collaborative testing that could integrate with developers and provide real-time remediation.

Synack deployed its continuous security testing model and vetted ethical hackers to quickly scale targeted penetration tests of Freshfields’ cloud-based applications. The engagement uncovered more critical vulnerabilities, sped up testing and remediation to accelerate market access, supplied vulnerability data to improve developer training, and provided evidence used to help reduce cybersecurity insurance rates; Synack subsequently became one of Freshfields’ two primary pentesters.
