Sara Pentest: AI-Powered Penetration Testing

Closing the security coverage gap with agentic AI and human-validated exploitation at scale

The Sara (Synack Autonomous Red Agent) Pentest is powered by agentic AI and built on Synack’s Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) platform. It safely runs real-world attacks to find and prioritize exploitable vulnerabilities, which are then validated by human experts. This happens at a scale that traditional pentesting can’t achieve, integrating seamlessly into your broader security program.

As your security team evolves to meet the coverage gaps and AI-driven threats, we have created two AI-led penetration tests: Sara Pentest and Sara Pentest+. Both are streamlined, fixed-scope penetration tests that provide testing coverage of both hosts and web applications.  Sara Pentest is designed for smaller and low-complexity scopes.  Sara Pentest+ is ideal for larger or more complex assets. 

The Synack PTaaS platform provides a range of pentesting solutions, from agent-driven to human-led.  The table below outlines how Sara Pentest is designed to work alongside Synack's human-led offerings, giving organizations the flexibility to align the right testing methodology with the specific business risk.
