Find more before attackers do.
Register for a free trial of Synack Sara AI Pentesting through Barrier Networks and see how agentic AI can expand pentest coverage while human security experts validate what really matters.
Sara AI Pentesting
AI-driven testing. Human-validated results.
Pentesting designed for a larger attack surface.
Traditional penetration testing is valuable, but point-in-time engagements can make it difficult to test every asset as quickly and frequently as your environment changes.
Synack Sara combines agentic AI-driven testing with human validation to extend penetration testing across web applications and host assets. Sara discovers assets within the agreed scope, analyses likely attack paths, safely validates potential vulnerabilities and delivers consolidated, actionable findings.
The result is greater testing capacity without replacing the human judgement needed to determine what genuinely represents risk.
days to validated results
Sara's AI-driven testing is combined with Synack security expert validation before exploitable findings are delivered to you.
Test more. Validate faster. Reduce the window of exposure.
The free trial gives your organisation an opportunity to experience a different approach to penetration testing and assess where AI-assisted testing could complement your existing security programme.
Extend your coverage
Bring penetration testing to assets that may be difficult to include frequently using traditional manual testing alone.
Get to findings faster
Sara automates the testing process while human security experts validate exploitable findings before they reach your team.
Focus on real risk
Independent verification and human-in-the-loop review help minimise false positives and provide findings your team can act on.
A four-phase AI pentesting process.
From initial discovery to validated reporting, Sara combines specialised AI agents with human security expertise.
Discover
Sara scans the approved scope to identify and map live, real assets.
Analyse
Specialist agents analyse results, prioritise findings and identify probable attack paths.
Validate
Controlled validation, independent re-testing and human review confirm real-world exploitability.
Deliver
Receive consolidated findings with proof-of-work, reproduction steps and remediation guidance.
Autonomous testing shouldn't mean uncontrolled testing.
Sara is designed to test like a responsible pentester. Testing is restricted to assets you have explicitly approved, with guardrails intended to minimise operational impact.
Higher-risk activity requiring advanced contextual judgement is deliberately excluded from autonomous testing.
Built-in testing guardrails
Only explicitly approved IP ranges, applications and test accounts are tested.
Scoping controls prevent autonomous exploration beyond the designated assets.
High-risk activities such as denial-of-service and destructive command or SQL activity are outside Sara's autonomous testing scope.
Synack security experts perform final human-in-the-loop review of validated findings.
Validated findings your team can use.
Sara reporting is designed to move your team from finding a vulnerability to understanding and remediating it.
Free trial FAQs
What can Sara AI Pentesting test?
Sara supports web application and host assets and can test for vulnerabilities including OWASP Top 10 categories and CVE-based vulnerabilities. Barrier will confirm whether your proposed environment is suitable for the free trial and agree the appropriate scope before testing starts.
Will Sara test systems I haven't approved?
No. Sara is designed to operate only against the IP ranges, applications, accounts and other assets explicitly included within the approved scope.
Are the findings reviewed by a person?
Yes. Sara uses separate validation processes and Synack security experts perform human-in-the-loop review before validated exploitable findings are delivered.
How quickly will I receive results?
Synack states that on-demand Sara Pentest engagements deliver human-validated results in approximately 4–5 days.
What happens after I register?
A Barrier Networks specialist will review your registration, discuss the environment you would like to test and confirm suitability, scope and the next steps for the free trial.
