About Us
Small studio, big ambitions
We're a small cybersecurity studio built in Szczecin by a few friends with a passion for ethical hacking and cybersecurity. We combine technical skills with a practical approach to security.
Location
Built in the heart of Western Pomerania. Szczecin is our home, but our solutions reach clients worldwide.
Quick facts
- Offensive-minded engineers focused on deception, recon and Rust-powered systems.
- Ship fast with a lab mindset: build, test, deploy, learn.
- Privacy-first: minimal data collection, maximal signal.
Tech vibe
Synth1ca runs like a security lab: Rust services, hardened infra, and deception sensors tuned for real-world signal. We build the tools we'd trust in our own environments.
Our Mission
Signal over noise.
Security isn't just about compliance and certificates. It's an ongoing battle against evolving threats. We build traps, sensors, and workflows that give teams clear signal on real attacker behavior.
Our approach.
- Offensive mindset, defensive outcomes.
- Deception and traps instead of just walls.
- Privacy-first by design – minimal data, maximal signal.
- Small, focused, shipping fast.
Who we build for.
- Small SaaS teams in the cloud.
- MSP & security-conscious hosting.
- Engineers who want to know who's knocking.
If you deploy to the internet and care who's probing you, you're in our target group.
Synth1ca in one sentence.
“Synth1ca is an indie, offensive-minded security studio. We ship honeypots, tools and workflows that we'd actually use in our own infrastructure.”
