Who We Are

Cobalt was founded on the belief that pentesting can be better. Our pentests start in as little as 24 hours and integrate with modern development cycles thanks to the powerful combination of a SaaS platform coupled with an exclusive community of testers known as the Cobalt Core.

Our award-winning fully remote team is committed to helping agile businesses remediate risk quickly and innovate securely. Today over 1000 customers use Cobalt to run pentests on demand via Pentest as a Service AKA PtaaS a space which Cobalt pioneered (you could even say we wrote the book on it ) and continues to lead.
