Reinventing Pentesting with Sara, Synack’s AI-Powered Red Agent

00:04 At Synack, we're helping pentesting catch up to the modern adversarial landscape. Adversaries are using AI to pool and modify exploits, do their reconnaissance, do everything they would always do but more efficiently. And yet, ESG reports that only forty seven percent of business critical apps and twenty six percent of the attack surface are actually being tested. At Synack, we believe you need a pen testing solution that is fast, you can self-service, it's cost efficient, and can scale. That's why we've created Sara, the Synack Autonomous Red Agent for pen testing.

00:34 Let me show you what we've built in the platform. First, organizations need to quickly discover and inventory their assets across the attack surface, which is why we have an automated attack surface discovery feature in the Synack platform. From there, you can easily inventory and prioritize your assets for testing based on metrics like the last time it was tested, suspected vulnerabilities, and other things that suit your security strategy. Then from there, you can simply select the assets that you want to test within the platform, spin up a Synack Autonomous Red Agent pen test, and provide information like the name of the test,

01:05 a description, when you want the test to start, who should be notified about the test, and then you're up and running. Now after you've started running the Sara AI pen test, how can you prove that the pen testing is actually reducing risk? Well, we provide a lot of insights and metrics into your testing. So alongside all of your traditional human pen testing, you can see information like the vulnerabilities you found, the weakest assets, your average time to remediate, and other information. You can also visit our coverage analytics tab to understand how your attack surface was investigated by our agents,

01:35 the same way you always would with the community of researchers we have with Synack Red Team. Once a Sara pen test completes, we also provide a downloadable report that matches industry standards, so it has an executive summary, information about the methodology, and of course information about any vulnerabilities Sara may have found, whether that's cross site scripting, SQLi, or other OWASP items. Then to help you through the remediation process, we have some vulnerability management features in the platform. You can easily share the vulnerability data with your developers through integrations like Jira and ServiceNow.

02:06 You can also mark the vulnerabilities as closed fix, which prompts a patch verification so that we can verify that the vulnerabilities have been effectively patched. And that informs metrics, of course, like your average time to remediate. Experience true clarity, speed, and scale with Sara Pentest.
