Synack Highlights Human + AI Continuous Security Validation at the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit

Synack will exhibit at the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit 2026 in National Harbor, Maryland, where it will present live demonstrations and expert sessions tied to continuous security validation. The event runs June 1–3, 2026.

Synack cited a coverage gap between the growth of attack surfaces and the portion tested each year. It also referenced a report stating that 95% of organizations rank pentesting as a top priority while only 32% of the average attack surface is tested in a given year.

Synack described its approach as a Human + AI platform for continuous pentesting, combining “AI-powered pentesting” with “elite human security researchers” to validate exploitable risk across enterprise attack surfaces. It also referenced Sara AI Pentesting, the Synack Autonomous Red Agent, for reconnaissance, attack surface mapping, and exploit validation.

Visitors at Booth 923 will be able to see live demonstrations, learn how the Synack Red Team identifies chained exploits, business logic flaws, and novel attack paths, and discuss continuous security validation strategies with Synack security experts and leadership. A theater session on Tuesday, June 2 at 10 AM will be presented by Tim Nordvedt, Solutions Architect at Synack, titled “Cutting Through AI Noise: Defending Against Machine-Speed Cyber Adversaries.” “Traditional pentesting was acceptable when adversaries moved on a human clock. They don’t anymore,” said Jay Kaplan, CEO and Co-founder of Synack. “Organizations now need continuous security validation—combining AI for scale and human expertise for real-world exploitability validation. AI finds more. Humans prove what matters.”
