95% of organizations rank pentesting as a top priority, but on average they're only testing 32% of their attack surface. Synack's Tim Nordvedt shared that stat in his #GartnerSRM presentation this week to call out the 68% coverage gap in pentesting. Check out the rest of his top takeaways in our latest blog 👉 https://lnkd.in/guUUzKmw #GartnerSEC #AIPentesting #ContinuousSecurityValidation

Join us on June 24 as two of our Synack Red Team researchers dig deeper into Synack's 2026 State of Vulnerabilities Report. Nicolas Krassas and M Can IPEKCI are the security researchers who find vulnerabilities before the adversaries do. They'll share what the data looks like from the inside—where the testing gaps are and how AI-enabled attackers are rewriting the rules. If your security team is trying to make sense of the current threat landscape, this is the hour to tune in. 📅 June 24 | 9AM PT / 12PM ET Register: https://hubs.ly/Q04kgzyH0

Three days of #TechNetCyber and a lot of conversations with one consistent theme: Organizations need a security partner with a vetted team, a proven track record, and a #PTaaS platform they can actually stand behind. That's what we heard. That's what we've built. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, and to our partners at Carahsoft for helping to make it happen. If you didn't get a chance to see Sara AI Pentesting in action at our booth, you can start your free trial here to see for yourself 👉 https://lnkd.in/gZDWpdhU #AFCEA #PublicSector

#GartnerSEC is almost a wrap! Congrats to our big winners at booth #923. 🎉 If you weren't one of the lucky ones, there's still time to stop by and talk pentesting. And if you didn't make it to the show floor, we'd still love to connect. Whether you're evaluating your pentesting program, or curious about Sara AI Pentest, reach out and let's set up a conversation. https://lnkd.in/g-G_QCyP #GartnerSRM #AIPentesting #ContinuousSecurityValidation

Our second day at #TechNetCyber was a hit! Anthony White and Josh Mason 🍄 held down the fort and held deep conversations with agency and federal teams about what real security validation actually looks like. If you haven't come by yet, don't miss us! We'll be at Booth 2644 tomorrow too. https://lnkd.in/g4nDfAUC

To everyone who joined us last night for our Pickin' & Pourin' reception—thank you. 🥃 The conversations were great, as were the drinks. It was the kind of evening we hoped for: real talks about real security challenges, built on real summit momentum. If you're staying for day three of #GartnerSEC on June 3, swing by Booth 923 to say hello 👋 https://lnkd.in/g-G_QCyP

If you're at #TechNetCyber swing by for a cookie! 🍪 We're at Booth 2644—come chat with Josh Mason 🍄 and Dina Saleh about how Sara AI Pentesting combines AI-powered discovery with human-validated testing to help federal teams continuously identify and reduce real exploitable risk. Our team is here through June 4, so book a meeting with us! https://lnkd.in/g4nDfAUC #AIpentesting #FederalSecurity #Pentesting

Synack's State of Vulnerabilities Report surfaced 11,000+ exploitable vulnerabilities across customer environments in 2025. But what do those findings actually tell us about the threat landscape? Join security experts from the Synack Red Team as they go beyond the headline numbers. Nicolas Krassas and Mustafa Can İPEKÇİ are security researchers who test systems for major enterprises. They'll share what vulnerabilities they're seeing firsthand including where Synack's PTaaS platform captures real signal. You'll learn: • Why the security testing gap is a bigger problem than most teams realize • How AI-enabled adversaries are pinpointing the assets you're not testing • What the shift in vulnerability types signals about how attackers are moving • How organizations using the Synack platform cut MTTR by 47%, and what that path looks like

Machine-speed adversaries don't wait for your next quarterly pentest. That was the thread running through our Synack session at Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit 2026 in National Harbor — "Cutting Through AI Noise: Defending Against Machine-Speed Cyber Adversaries," presented by Tim Nordvedt. AI is reshaping the speed, scale, and complexity of attacks. But speed alone isn't the answer. Security teams need validated, actionable risk intelligence they can trust — and most are still operating with a ~68% security coverage gap. That's where Synack's model is different: the efficiency of Sara, our AI pentesting agent, paired with the judgment and creativity of human security researchers. Great to see so much interest in moving past the AI hype toward a resilient, validated approach to offensive security. We're here through June 3—details and how to connect with the team in the comments 👇 #GartnerSRM #AIPentesting #OffensiveSecurity #SecurityValidation #Synack
