Synack and Wolfpack Information Risk Bring Sara AI Pentesting to Organizations Across South Africa

Established partnership helps companies move from point-in-time testing to continuous security validation with AI + human expertise

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. June 11: —Synack, the AI + human penetration testing platform is expanding its partnership with Wolfpack Information Risk, a South Africa-based specialist cybersecurity firm, to bring Sara AI Pentesting to organizations across South Africa.

Sara AI Pentesting, powered by the Synack Autonomous Red Agent, combines agentic AI with the Synack Red Team (SRT), a globally vetted community of elite ethical hackers. Together, Sara AI Pentesting and the SRT help organizations expand coverage across their attack surface, accelerate testing, and validate real-world exploitability with greater speed and confidence.

Wolfpack Information Risk, established in 2011 and a B-BBEE Level 1-certified company, brings deep expertise in governance, risk and compliance, penetration testing, cybersecurity consulting, and security operations to organizations across the region. Through its partnership with Synack, Wolfpack enables clients to adopt a modern model of continuous security validation, moving beyond periodic testing toward always-on assurance.

The longstanding partnership has already delivered measurable value for customers. Leading organisations across the financial services, mining, and telecommunications sectors have engaged Synack through Wolfpack to address critical challenges in their controls assurance programme, including extended lead times, expansive technology footprints, and the need for continuous testing across rapidly changing codebases. The result has been faster pre-deployment testing, significantly reduced repeat findings, and improved mean time to remediation (MTTR).

As attack surfaces expand and the time between vulnerability discovery and exploitation continues to shrink, organizations need security testing that keeps pace with modern adversaries. Sara AI Pentesting helps accelerate reconnaissance, attack surface mapping, and initial exploit validation at scale, while the SRT validates what is real, exploitable, and relevant to the business.

Synack and Wolfpack will further explore these themes during a joint webinar, “AI + Human: Keeping Pace with the Modern Adversary,” on June 23, 2026. The session will discuss how companies can use continuous security validation to improve attack surface risk management, accelerate remediation, and strengthen resilience against evolving threats.

“Giving organisations access to continuous security validation—not periodic testing—is what drives the way we build our channel,” said Angela Heindl-Schober, Chief Marketing Officer at Synack. “Wolfpack brings deep security expertise and strong relationships, and together we’re ensuring our customers have what they need to stay ahead of threats.”

“Partnering with Synack gives our clients access to a level of continuous security validation that simply was not available to them before,” said Craig Rosewarne, Managing Director of Wolfpack Information Risk. “By combining Sara AI Pentesting, the Synack Red Team, and Wolfpack’s local expertise, organizations across our markets can move toward ongoing assurance and know that findings are real, validated, and actionable.”
