Inside the Report

## What 200 security leaders reveal about the future of AI-driven pentesting

Omdia research commissioned by Synack shows that agentic AI in pentesting is moving fast from experimentation to adoption. While 95% of organizations rank pentesting as a top priority, only 32% of the average attack surface is tested each year — leaving a 68% coverage gap that traditional testing models can no longer close alone.

### What you’ll learn

- Why the 68% security coverage gap is forcing a new approach to pentesting
- How agentic AI helps organizations test more of the attack surface more frequently
- Why Human + AI is emerging as the preferred model for enterprise pentesting
- Which assets early adopters are prioritizing, including cloud-native applications, AI systems, and cloud infrastructure
- What security leaders require before agentic AI pentesting is production-ready

The report shows how leading organizations are moving beyond periodic testing toward continuous security validation — combining AI-driven scale with expert human oversight to validate what actually matters.
