Synack, the leader in human-led and AI-driven Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS), has joined forces with Tenable to deliver a comprehensive security solution aimed at cutting through noise and addressing truly exploitable threats. This collaboration, announced on Tenable’s blog today, allows customers to integrate valuable insights from Tenable Vulnerability Management with Synack’s AI-powered vulnerability triage and penetration testing. It’s supported by Sara, Synack’s agentic AI framework capable of autonomously triaging vulnerabilities at scale, as well as by the Synack Red Team (SRT), a network of 1,500 expert ethical hackers who ensure that vulnerability findings are practical and that patches are effective.
This new Synack<>Tenable partnership is set to redefine cybersecurity by seamlessly integrating vulnerability management with AI-powered, human-backed penetration testing. Here are a few key takeaways:
- Reduce Alert Fatigue: By combining Tenable’s comprehensive vulnerability data with Synack’s AI-assisted triage and human expertise, organizations can cut through the noise and focus on truly exploitable threats.
- Scale Penetration Testing: The partnership enables efficient, large-scale security testing. Tenable identifies potential vulnerabilities, while on the Synack side, Sara and human researchers verify exploitability and ensure comprehensive coverage across even the biggest attack surfaces.
- Accelerate Remediation: The joint solution provides actionable insights, validates fixes and helps close security gaps much faster, significantly reducing the time from vulnerability discovery to remediation.
This AI-powered, human-in-the-loop approach is crucial in an era of rapidly evolving, AI-enabled cyberattacks. By blending the speed of AI with the creativity and precision of human ethical hackers, Synack and Tenable empower defenders to proactively identify, prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities, staying ahead of sophisticated adversaries.
