The offensive security world is entering a new phase—and this time, AI isn’t just powering the adversaries. Synack, best known for blending human pentesters with crowdsourced expertise, is rolling out Sara Pentest, a new agentic AI product that automates key parts of penetration testing and dramatically reduces the time it takes to discover exploitable vulnerabilities.
In an era where “move fast” is no longer enough—and “break things” is a liability—BigID is giving developers a way to build secure, AI-ready products from day one. The data security and AI governance leader today announced Embedded BigID, a developer-first solution that allows teams to integrate the company’s hallmark data discovery, classification, and protection capabilities directly inside their own applications, data pipelines, endpoints, and AI architectures.
Firmware rarely gets a spotlight in the world of shiny new AI tools, but maybe it should. Firmware engineers face some of the most frustrating bottlenecks in modern computing—deeply technical documentation, scattered artifacts, slow support channels, and debugging sessions that feel like spelunking through decades of legacy behavior.
Software teams ship faster than ever, but their automated tests rarely keep up. A small UI tweak—a moved button, a renamed element—can break dozens of tests, stall CI pipelines, and throw engineering teams into maintenance mode. For years, test automation has promised stability at scale, yet the reality often feels more like babysitting than engineering.
Intellect, a leader in AI-driven Quality Management Systems (QMS), has expanded its global footprint by acquiring Zaptic, a UK-based Connected Frontline Worker (CFW) platform. The move unites quality, safety, and operations into a single AI-enabled ecosystem, bridging the gap between planning and execution for manufacturers.
