Aircall partnered with Cobalt for on-demand pentesting.
Aircall is a cloud-based phone system that allows companies around the world to buy phone numbers and set up call centers. With the rapid acceleration of demand, the communication platform transmits and stores data from voice calls and recordings each day. Aircall was looking for a security partner that could provide pentesting on demand — something flexible that could still be scheduled on a regular basis to ensure customer data stays fully protected.

Results
On-Demand Pentesting
Cobalt provides pentesting that could be scheduled on a regular basis and still allows flexibility for spontaneous testing.
Deep Product Knowledge
Cobalt works with professional pentesters with deep product knowledge and understanding of business logic.
Critical Findings
Diving deep into the product, Cobalt pentesters spot issues that are impactful to the business.
In order to build the best-in-class scenario for the security of their platform, Aircall recognized the value of maintaining a thorough understanding of their vulnerabilities throughout the software development lifecycle, from development to end user.
Using Cobalt’s Pentest as a Service platform helped bring more awareness around security topics internally and during the development lifecycle of each of Aircall’s features. The company worked with Cobalt’s pentesters who have been running tests on a regular basis, meeting the needs for robust security at Aircall.
“What surprised me the most was the ability of pentesters to go deeply into the product and into the usage of the product itself.”
