Synack’s awardable video highlights how Sara AI Pentesting helps government organizations continuously test their attack surface with AI-driven pentesting, while the Synack Red Team validates what is real, exploitable, and mission-relevant. The result is continuous security validation that helps agencies move beyond periodic testing and prioritize the risks that matter most. The Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace is the premier offering of Tradewinds, the Department of War’s suite of tools and services designed to accelerate the procurement and adoption of artificial intelligence, machine learning, data, and analytics capabilities. “AI is changing the speed and scale of both offense and defense,” said Mark Kuhr, CTO and Co-Founder of Synack. “Sara AI Pentesting was built for this new reality. AI can help find more, faster, but human validation is what gives security teams confidence in what matters. By combining Sara with the Synack Red Team, we give government customers a way to continuously test, validate, and act on exploitable risk with the precision required for mission-critical environments.” “Government agencies are under increasing pressure to secure expanding digital attack surfaces while adversaries move faster with AI,” said Mark Dunn, VP of Public Sector at Synack. “Being assessed as Awardable through the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace gives Department of War customers a streamlined way to evaluate Synack’s human-validated AI pentesting capabilities and strengthen mission resilience with continuous, validated security testing.” The Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace is a digital repository of post-competition, readily awardable pitch videos that address the Department of War’s most significant challenges in AI/ML, data, and analytics.
