A Look Behind the Curtain: How Sara Agentic AI Triage Works

Sara Triage is Synack’s newest offering. It connects directly to popular vulnerability management scanners — like Tenable One and Qualys — and uses agentic AI to confirm which findings are genuinely exploitable.

Scanners are broad by design, so they produce a lot of findings. Sara Triage cuts through that noise. It shows which vulnerabilities attackers could actually exploit, which ones your existing defenses already block, and which are purely informational.

Step 1 – Import Scanner Results From Qualys Vulnerability Management
Sara Triage needs data to start from. With Synack’s Qualys integration, findings from Qualys Vulnerability Management import directly into the Synack platform.

Step 2 – Examine And Filter Scanner Findings In the Synack Platform
Filter and sort the Qualys findings by criteria like severity and asset. This narrows a long list down to the findings that matter most.

Step 3 – Select And Submit Desired Scanner Findings For Triage
Select findings one by one or in bulk. Then click ‘Submit for Sara Triage’ to send them to the agentic AI for exploitability analysis.

Step 4 – Separate Signal From Noise With Sara Triage Results

When Sara Triage finishes, each finding gets a status: ‘Exploitable’, ‘Not Exploitable’, ‘Unreachable’, ‘Out of Scope’, or ‘Not Applicable’. Synack researchers then review the ‘Exploitable’ ones by hand to remove false positives and duplicates. You can filter to surface the most urgent findings, which are usually the ‘Exploitable’ ones.

Step 5 -Remediate Faster With Evidence On All Exploitable Vulnerabilities
Below is an example of Sara Triage’s analysis of a finding it marked Exploitable. It includes specific steps to fix the SSH security gaps on the server.

Step 6 – View All Exploitable Vulnerabilities In One Place
Exploitable findings move to the Synack Exploitable Vulnerabilities page, which lists every vulnerability Synack has confirmed attackers could exploit. From there, you manage each one through Synack’s workflow: pending review, patch pending, and closed-fixed.

Step 7 – Once Remediation Is Complete, Submit To Synack For Patch Verification
Once you have fixed a vulnerability using the recommendations, click ‘Request Patch Verification’. Synack then re-tests it to confirm the fix.

Sara Triage makes it easy to separate signal from noise. Filter for what’s truly exploitable and prioritize the vulnerabilities that matter most. Once triage runs, you get exploitability status and remediation guidance instantly — right inside the Synack platform — cutting MTTR and overall vulnerability management workload.
