As offensive AI capabilities accelerate, organizations are under increasing pressure to reassess how they secure their environments. Synack has introduced a new solution aimed at addressing this shift with the launch of its Glasswing Readiness Assessment.
The Synack Glasswing Readiness Assessment is designed to help enterprises identify and close gaps in their attack surface before they can be exploited by AI driven threats. The launch comes amid rapid advancements in offensive AI, including initiatives like Project Glasswing and emerging models such as Mythos, which are capable of autonomously discovering vulnerabilities at machine speed.
These developments are transforming the threat landscape by significantly reducing the time required to identify and exploit weaknesses. Tasks that once took months can now be executed in days, increasing the urgency for organizations to adopt more proactive and continuous security strategies.
“Project Glasswing is exactly the kind of defensive innovation this moment calls for, and it signals just how capable these models have become,” said Jay Kaplan, CEO and Co founder of Synack. “Organizations need to match that energy in their own environments. The answer is continuous, agentic AI-driven testing with humans in the loop. Annual assessments tied to a compliance calendar no longer reflect how attacks actually happen.”
The Synack Glasswing Readiness Assessment addresses a fundamental issue in enterprise security: incomplete coverage. Research indicates that organizations typically test only about 32 percent of their attack surface, leaving significant portions of infrastructure unmonitored and vulnerable.
“When offensive AI can map an environment and iterate on exploits at machine speed, untested infrastructure like legacy systems, forgotten endpoints, and aging firewalls become the attack surface adversaries find first,” said Mark Kuhr. “Every weak point is now a viable entry. What looks low-risk in isolation often isn’t once you account for how these attacks actually chain. Getting coverage across your full attack surface is no longer a stretch goal. It’s the baseline.”
The assessment combines attack surface discovery with Synack’s autonomous red teaming technology, Sara, to explore environments at scale. This AI driven approach identifies potential attack paths, which are then validated by human security experts from the Synack Red Team. By combining automation with human expertise, the platform aims to eliminate false positives and deliver actionable, verified findings.
“Every conversation I’m having with customers right now comes back to the same question: What do I do about this today?” said Paul Mote. “You don’t need to wait for offensive AI capabilities like Mythos to be widely available before you act. We’re already finding exploitable vulnerabilities at scale that scanners and traditional pentests miss. The time to act is before adversaries have the same capability.”
The Synack Glasswing Readiness Assessment reflects a broader industry shift toward continuous, AI security testing. As attackers increasingly leverage automation and advanced models, organizations must adopt equally sophisticated defenses to maintain resilience.
By focusing on full attack surface visibility and real world exploit validation, Synack is positioning its solution as a critical tool for enterprises navigating the evolving landscape of AI driven cyber threats.
