Brainstorming over the name took some time but in the end the unique name of Syndis, incorporating themes from attack focus ("Syndicate"), hacking (SYN packets, and the Icelandic word for a sin: synd), and the Icelandic character of the company (-dís suffix, and the Internet ending of .is for Iceland). The resulting logo blended elements of the s in Syndis, a network connection, and symmetry. It later turned out that the maker of the logo was only 13 years old, and just had this unbelievable knack for making professional logos.
The company was officially incorporated with a wonderful kickoff ceremony in the beginning of March 2013 and had offices at Reykjavik University. The company quickly got to work on hacking various clients and was interestingly profitable.
Today, Syndis is a company where innovation meets security excellence. We help organizations understand the context of security by simulating sophisticated cyberattacks and educating in the hacker mindset. We take pride in offering a comprehensive suite of services designed to safeguard and empower customers' digital assets, from offensive security to security management, security monitoring operation and external attack service management.
We strive to constantly develop and update solutions and services with one goal in mind: to help our customers to excel in security matters.
