Live demos and expert sessions will showcase how organization close the 68% security coverage gap in the age of AI
GARTNER SECURITY & RISK MANAGEMENT SUMMIT — Synack, provider of a Human + AI platform for continuous security validation, today announced it is exhibiting in the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit 2026, happening June 1–3, 2026 in National Harbor, MD. Throughout the event, Synack will demonstrate how organizations are combining AI-powered pentesting with elite human security researchers to continuously validate exploitable risk across modern enterprise attack surfaces.
Security leaders are facing a widening gap between attack surface growth and testing coverage. According to the 2026 State of Agentic AI in Pentesting report from Synack and Omdia, 95% of organizations rank pentesting as a top priority, yet only 32% of the average attack surface is tested in a given year. That leaves 68% of enterprise environments unchecked at a moment when AI-enabled adversaries are operating continuously and at increasing speed.
“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.”
Visitors to Synack Booth 923 will be able to:
- See live demonstrations of Sara AI Pentesting, the Synack Autonomous Red Agent, performing reconnaissance, attack surface mapping, and exploit validation at machine speed
- Learn how the Synack Red Team, drawn from a global community with a sub-10% acceptance rate, identifies chained exploits, business logic flaws, and novel attack paths that traditional
automation approaches often miss - Discuss continuous security validation strategies with Synack security experts and leadership
- Explore how organizations are improving operational resilience through continuous exploitability validation and AI-assisted offensive security testing
Theater Session TH32: Cutting Through AI Noise
On Tuesday, June 2 at 10 AM, Tim Nordvedt, Solutions Architect at Synack, will present “Cutting Through AI Noise: Defending Against Machine-Speed Cyber Adversaries.” The session will help security leaders distinguish between traditional automated testing approaches and emerging Human + AI security validation models designed for continuous testing and exploitability validation at enterprise scale.
