Cobalt Earns 25 G2 Awards and Nine #1 Rankings in Winter 2026

When evaluating security partners, leaders increasingly look to G2, the industry’s largest and most trusted platform for software reviews. Unlike traditional analyst reports, G2 rankings come directly from verified customer feedback and real-world product performance. Vendors can’t buy placement, influence scoring, or shape the narrative. Every badge earned reflects the experiences of the teams who actually use the product day-to-day.

That’s why we’re especially proud of our Cobalt Winter 2026 G2 results: we earned 25 badges, ranked in 45 reports, and secured #1 placement in nine key categories across Penetration Testing and DAST. These honors reflect the trust our customers place in the Cobalt Offensive Security Platform, our global community of pentesters, and the value we deliver through human-led, AI-powered offensive security solutions.

Cobalt closed out the year with 88 total badges earned in 2025 across all G2 seasonal reports!
