Cobalt

Cobalt is a cybersecurity company focused on penetration testing and offensive security delivered through a software-enabled service model. Its Pentest as a Service platform connects organizations with vetted security researchers and provides centralized project management, testing workflows and vulnerability reporting. Cobalt supports testing for web applications, APIs, mobile applications, cloud environments and other digital assets. The platform is designed to make penetration testing more continuous and collaborative than traditional point-in-time consulting engagements. Customers can define scopes, communicate with researchers, review findings and track remediation through a centralized workspace. Cobalt's researcher network provides organizations with specialized security expertise while its platform standardizes the operational parts of testing and reporting. The company serves security and application teams that need external validation of software and infrastructure but want closer integration with modern development workflows. Its approach can support recurring tests as applications change rather than waiting for an annual assessment. Cobalt also provides vulnerability management and remediation workflows to help customers prioritize and resolve findings. Its model combines human ethical hacking with a technology platform, making it distinct from conventional vulnerability scanners and fully traditional consulting firms. Organizations should define authorized testing scopes and coordinate testing with internal security and engineering teams.
