Synack launches new model for ‘continuous security validation’

Enterprises today test only a fraction of their attack surface. While attackers, increasingly powered by AI, operate continuously and at scale. As a result, many organizations remain exposed to exploitable risk they cannot see.

Synack has announced the general availability of Sara AI Pentesting. Sara, the Synack Autonomous Red Agent, is powered by agentic AI and human validation to close this growing security coverage gap.

Following successful early deployments with select customers since October 2025, Sara introduces a new model for security testing that combines agentic AI with human expertise to deliver continuous, high-confidence validation of real-world risk at scale.
