With Cobalt, Verifone pentests at the speed of development

Verifone prioritizes secure payments for customers and partners.

Verifone is one of the largest payment service providers, acting globally on hardware and software platforms for payments services. Delivering safe, secure, and reliable payment solutions is at the forefront of the company’s commitment to its customers. With that in mind, Verifone was looking for strong security testing to assure that payments are secure for customers and partners.

The process of switching pentest providers can come with its challenges but the Verifone team found Cobalt's process painless and appreciated how the PTaaS offering helped them do their job better. Usually pentesting takes weeks, but with Cobalt, they were able to shorten the time-to-start in the process shortening time-to-production.

Cobalt’s collaborative team not only enables Verifone to be more efficient, but also implements requested new tools and functionalities.

 

 

Challenges

Increasing Security Threats

Verifone was looking for security testing to prove that their systems are robust enough to stand against any current threats.

Compliance Controls

Usually, pentesting setup takes weeks. With Cobalt, Verifone was able to shorten those times and reduce delays to production

Inefficient Workflows

Lacking tools, integrations and consistent communication, test management had been slow and costly.

Results

Faster Production

Verifone can go to production much quicker than before, sparing money and saving time.

A Specialized Approach

Cobalt understands Verifone’s needs and doesn’t back down when it comes to addressing their specific needs.

Interaction and Innovation

Cobalt’s collaborative team not only enables Verifone to be more efficient but also implements requested new tools and functionalities.

Verifone was amazed by Cobalt’s process — that they could regularly communicate with the pentesters and the project manager each step of the way. These interactions enable Verifone to address findings and go to production faster than before, in turn saving the company time and money.

Innovation has been another central element in what Cobalt brings to the table, both in terms of tools and processes. Cobalt is always able to provide critical interactions through its platform while remaining remarkably flexible, and the team approaches customers with an open mind, implementing new tools and functionalities on request.

“Security is very important for Verifone, and we have been able to tackle the job together with Cobalt to demonstrate this commitment to our customers.”
