Partnership helps companies in Iberia move from point-in-time testing to continuous security validation with AI + human expertise
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.—June 30, 2026—Synack, the AI + human penetration testing platform, is partnering with NEVERHACK, a cybersecurity firm with an on-the-ground team and deep local expertise across Spain and Portugal, to bring Sara AI Pentesting to organizations in the Iberia region.
Sara AI Pentesting, powered by the Synack Autonomous Red Agent, combines agentic AI with the Synack Red Team (SRT), a globally vetted community of elite ethical hackers. Together, they bring a level of continuous security validation that was previously available only to large enterprises—making ongoing attack surface coverage and real-world exploit validation accessible to organizations of all sizes.
NEVERHACK brings a 360° approach to cyber risk management, an established local team, and deep market knowledge across Spain and Portugal. Through its partnership with Synack, NEVERHACK enables clients to adopt a model of continuous security validation, backed by Synack’s Iberia team and community of security researchers. For organizations throughout the region, this combination delivers stronger resilience against current threats and a more direct path to meeting regulatory frameworks like NIS2 or DORA, which call for this kind of continuous risk visibility.
“NEVERHACK is exactly the kind of regional partner that helps us bring continuous security validation to organizations of all sizes,” said Brian Vasiloff, VP of Channels at Synack. “Their expertise across Spain and Portugal, combined with Sara AI Pentesting and the Synack Red Team, means more organizations can move beyond traditional penetration testing and get an ongoing, accurate picture of their exposure.”
“The alliance between NEVERHACK and Synack expands our Offensive Security offering to give organizations something traditional pentesting can’t: an up-to-date, ongoing view of where they’re actually exposed, instead of a once-a-year snapshot,” said Michele Illiano, CEO of NEVERHACK Iberia, USA & LATAM. “Synack’s PTaaS platform, combined with NEVERHACK’s on-the-ground expertise, helps cut through the noise to focus on the vulnerabilities that genuinely pose a risk to the business.”
For many organizations, particularly mid-market companies that have relied on annual penetration tests, the gap between testing cycles represents real, unquantified risk. As attack surfaces expand and the time between vulnerability discovery and exploitation continues to shrink, organizations need security testing that keeps pace with modern adversaries. Sara AI Pentesting accelerates reconnaissance, attack surface mapping, and initial exploit validation at scale, while the SRT validates what is real, exploitable, and relevant to the business.
