Synack Launches Agentic AI Pentesting to Automate Vulnerability Discovery at Scale
Synack, a leader in AI-powered penetration testing, has introduced Sara Pentest, an agentic AI pentesting solution designed to augment its existing human-led security testing platform. The system uses autonomous AI agents to map attack surfaces, probe for misconfigurations, and generate exploit paths across cloud, application and identity environments. Synack says the tool can perform continuous testing with faster coverage than traditional manual assessments, while human researchers validate high-impact findings to ensure accuracy and reduce noise. The feature integrates with Synack’s analytics dashboard, enabling security teams to prioritize risks with real-time context.
The launch comes as organizations look to automation to counter expanding attack surfaces and talent shortages in offensive security. Synack’s hybrid model—combining autonomous agents with its vetted researcher network—positions it to serve regulated industries that require both speed and validated results. This platform provides enterprises with the flexibility to align tests with business risk in an optimal and efficient way.
