🚨 Big news: Synack is launching our agentic AI architecture, Sara, drawing on over ten years of pentesting innovation.

The speed and scale of emerging AI-enabled cyberthreats can only be matched by AI-powered defenses. Sara (Synack Autonomous Red Agent) equips Synack’s premier Pe*******on Testing as a Service platform to help customers counter machine-driven reconnaissance and attacks.

We’re combining the autonomous power of AI technology with the ingenuity of our expert Synack Red Team for a human-in-the-loop approach to vulnerability management that minimizes risk and weeds out false positives. We call it Active Offense.
