Overview

Pentesting: why it matters

Pentesting is the practice of testing an application (web, mobile, or API) or network for weaknesses that an attacker could exploit. Any weaknesses, or vulnerabilities, discovered during a pentest are evaluated to determine their level of risk. Organizations then have the responsibility to fix these vulnerabilities, or accept their risk. Pentesting can help developers ensure their code is secure. 

Pentest as a Service (PtaaS) allows organizations of all sizes to manage a scalable, efficient pentest program with on-demand access to expert security talent and a modern SaaS delivery platform. With integrations into security and development tools and real-time collaboration with pentesters, PtaaS enables modern DevSecOps teams to secure their code faster.

Cobalt offers pentesting for a variety of use cases, including compliance testing, new release testing, delta testing, exploitable vulnerability testing, single OWASP category testing, and microservice testing. Get more details on these use cases by checking out the Cobalt Pentesting Use Cases Brief.

Integrate into your SDLC with Jira and GitHub, or use the Cobalt API to sync with your remediation teams and fix findings faster.
Microservice Testing-2

Agile Pentesting

Cobalt offers Agile Pentesting services, a leaner pentest focused on a specific area of an asset. Agile Pentesting is flexible in nature.

PtaaS API integrations

The Cobalt API gives you REST access to Orgs, Assets, Pentests, Findings, and Events. Cobalt uses API tokens to allow access to various endpoints such as Jira, GitHub, and more. Read about Cobalt Integrations to see how they can help streamline your find-to-fix workflows.

What customers are saying

Algolia_logo_rectangle_outline
Adam Surak
Head of Security
“Now, engineers almost looking forward to testing. They know that the interactions with the pentesters make them better engineers. The pentesters clearly explain security issues and proposed mitigations. Then our engineers can review the findings, ask questions and bring their own expertise to the mitigation process. Together, we come up with solutions that benefit our customers. It is no longer a burden for engineers to be included in the pentesting process. In fact, Cobalt works exactly how you want a penetration test to work.”

Lead Solutions Architect
“It wasn't just getting a PDF report at the end of a test, it was an interactive experience [with Cobalt]. We were constantly in the feedback loop, talking directly with researchers to dig into the details of findings.”

Brett Bender
VP of Engineering
“The pentesters and Cobalt did an outstanding job. They were able to deliver both the coverage of a vulnerability assessment and the depth of a penetration test. Additionally, this was all at a very sensible price point.”

David Patrick
Director of Engineering
"We had a few findings requiring engineering effort. Once we addressed them after the pentest was completed, the Cobalt pentesters immediately started retesting and we were confident the findings had been remediated, retested, and accurately reflected on the Cobalt platform and report. Although we were told about free retesting in the sales pitch, seeing it in action was amazing. Cobalt delivered by retesting quickly and updating the report accordingly."
