Overview

Cobalt is revolutionizing the way pentests are performed. Cobalt’s Pentest as a Service (PtaaS) platform enables pentesters, developers, project managers, and business leaders the ability to easily interact throughout the testing process via messaging platforms such as Slack, allowing for more visibility and a more seamless workflow. Cobalt’s PtaaS platform allows customers to proactively build a data-driven pentesting program, test more of their applications more frequently, and mature their security posture over time. On average, ​​experts state that PtaaS projects are completed with a 50% reduction in time compared to conventional consulting engagements, allowing customers to either cut costs in half or double the amount of assets they’re able to test using the same budget.

Companies need manual penetration testing performed on their digital assets to establish trust with customers, comply with regulatory requirements, and improve their security posture. Traditional pentesting services take weeks to schedule and deliver, work in isolation, and provide written results long after code has been released. This cumbersome and inefficient process does not fit with today’s agile development practices, leaving companies exposed to the risk of breach. As pioneers of PtaaS, Cobalt transforms this traditional model by combining on-demand access to expert talent with a modern SaaS delivery platform that allows for real-time collaboration and quick remediation. Unlike with traditional pentesting, where findings must be manually entered, Cobalt’s PtaaS platform enables organizations to pass pentest findings directly to engineering and DevSecOps workflows quickly and easily. Through integrations with issue tracking programs such as JIRA, and development platforms like GitHub, tickets can not only be actioned quickly, but also throughout the pentest lifecycle, enabling a more efficient workflow from start to finish.
