We wanted to move beyond just 'checking the box' on pentesting. Cobalt enabled us to build a modern pentesting program with multiple assessments throughout the year. We're now proactively managing risk through a continuous, data-driven security program.

I haven’t had a single vulnerability back from Cobalt that isn’t a real issue. I can hand them to the engineers with confidence that they are genuine, exploitable vulnerabilities. That’s a huge time savings and a much higher value process.

DATA MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Built on 13 years of elite offensive security data

We don't train our models on public data like capture the flag challenges and bug bounties. Cobalt Autonomous Pentest is powered by Cobalt Sage AI, the intelligence engine built on the industry’s largest dataset of real world pentest results, and directed by the world’s most elite pentesting community.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about agentic PTaaS

What is autonomous penetration testing?
Autonomous penetration testing uses AI to execute the full pentest lifecycle, from reconnaissance through reporting, at machine speed. Unlike traditional pentesting, it does not require manual execution at each stage. Cobalt Autonomous Pentest pairs AI execution with elite Cobalt Core pentesters who direct scope, enforce methodology, and ensure every engagement operates within defined guardrails. Findings include proof of exploit, steps to reproduce, and remediation guidance.
How is autonomous pentesting different from manual pentesting or vulnerability scanning?
Autonomous pentesting sits between vulnerability scanning and manual penetration testing. Scanners identify potential issues but do not confirm exploitability, producing high volumes of theoretical findings that developers dispute or ignore. Manual pentesting provides the deepest coverage but requires weeks per application and cannot scale across a full portfolio. Autonomous pentesting closes the gap: AI executes the full exploitation chain and delivers validated findings with proof of exploit in 24 hours. On the Cobalt Offensive Security Platform, organizations use Autonomous Pentest for breadth across the portfolio and human-led pentesting for targeted depth on critical assets.
What role do human pentesters play in autonomous pentesting?
In Cobalt Autonomous Pentest, elite Cobalt Core pentesters direct every engagement. Before execution, they review and approve the AI-generated test plan. During execution, they approve or deny dynamic tool calls to ensure appropriate methods for the target environment. Throughout the engagement, they maintain authority to intervene. According to Omdia research, 94% of security teams keep humans in the loop on AI agents. Cobalt makes those humans elite pentesters with an average of 11 years of experience.
Does autonomous pentesting meet compliance requirements?
Autonomous pentesting is designed for portfolio-wide coverage and risk reduction, not as a replacement for compliance-bound pentesting. Most major frameworks, including PCI-DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA, require human-led pentesting with formal attestation. Cobalt Autonomous Pentest does not produce compliance attestation reports. Organizations that need audit-ready proof should use human-led pentesting on the Cobalt Offensive Security Platform. Many teams use both: Autonomous Pentest for continuous coverage between compliance cycles, and human-led pentesting for attestation.

See proof, not just alerts
