AI-Powered Offensive Security, Continuously Getting Smarter.

Powered by over a decade of pentesting data, Cobalt combines intelligent automation with expert pentesters to uncover the vulnerabilities attackers actually exploit—faster and at scale.

Every pentest is smarter than the last

Our AI-powered platform integrates continuous learning across the pentest by leveraging 10+ years’ of proprietary exploit intelligence. Insights from every pentest we’ve conducted drive unmatched automated reconnaissance, scanning, and triage. Because our AI handles rote tasks, our pentesters dedicate 100% of their energy to depth, using sophisticated adversarial tactics to identify high-impact vulnerabilities that pose the greatest risk to your business.

Human-Led Depth

Agents handle the noise so our experts focus on what machines cannot: chained exploitation, business logic abuse, and sophisticated adversarial scenarios. The result is deeper testing and more meaningful risk validation.

Automation Accelerates Testing.
Experts Expose the Real Risk.

We’ve built an automated pipeline that mirrors the tactics of real-world attackers. By automating the initial stages of the attack chain—from reconnaissance to active scanning—we expose vulnerabilities exactly as a hacker would. This allows our elite experts to skip the baseline and focus entirely on complex exploitation, creative adversarial tactics, and business logic abuse - the vulnerabilities that represent real risk to your business.

Autonomous Reconnaissance:

AI maps your attack surface, discovering hidden APIs, subdomains, and externally exposed assets that attackers use as entry points.

  • Retrospective reconnaissance: The goal is to dig up ghost endpoints—old API versions or forgotten subdomains—that were never properly decommissioned and need to be evaluated by the pentester for their potential as access points to abuse.
  • Predictive discovery: By making intelligent guesses at high speeds, we uncover hidden administrative portals, backup files (e.g., .env, config.php.bak), and shadow APIs that are invisible to search engines but fully accessible to an educated attacker.
  • Full site enumeration: We automate the discovery of the entire modern attack surface—including complex JavaScript-rendered routes—to feed our specialists a curated list of high-value targets for deep-dive exploitation.
ptaas_Lifecycle_Phase_3
Active Scanning:

Automated testing validates credentials and surface-level flaws to set an immediate risk baseline.

  • AI-powered credential validation: automatically checks the credentials on each associated target to ensure test readiness before a human engages.
  • TLS/SSL configuration scanning: Including identifying outdated protocols that can be abused to intercept private data.
  • Exploratory vulnerability scanning: Automated methodical testings for every form field and button for vulnerabilities like SQL Injection or session hijacking.
  • Signature-based vulnerability scanning: Identification of CVEs including well known vulnerabilities like those in Log4j or WordPress.

Intelligence-Enriched Triage:

Findings are normalized and enriched with global threat intelligence feeds for real-world context. This intelligence is delivered directly to the pentesting team, accelerating the identification and validation of critical risks.

ptaas_Lifecycle_Phase_5
Expertise, amplified:

Our elite pentesters use this triage data as a baseline so that they can focus on advanced attack techniques:

  • Chained exploits
  • Business logic flaws
  • Privilege escalation
  • Lateral movement

The result is deeper testing and more meaningful risk validation.

Reporting Agents:
  • AI-Powered Report Writer: AI automates the structural heavy lifting of documentation, delivering high-quality proofs-of-concept so your developers can start fixing flaws immediately.
  • Benchmarking: We analyze your data to track performance trends and benchmark your results against aggregated industry data to measure long-term security impact.
  • Continuous Learning Insights: Every test leverages a decade of data to provide objective context, helping you identify where your program leads or lags in your sector.

“Cobalt has redefined what it means to be a leader in offensive security. While many continuous solutions rely solely on AI and scripts, the human validation provided at Cobalt is the key differentiator. By leveraging Cobalt’s pentesting expertise, we move beyond the noise of raw data, allowing our team to focus on high-impact remediation rather than manual de-duplication.”
