Our take
Cobalt is a penetration testing platform providing PtaaS to significantly improve the efficiency and deliverability of penetration testing. The company is working to transform a multi-billion dollar industry that is set to grow in value as vulnerabilities become an increasing liability.
Its approach, using a curated marketplace of 400+ highly vetted ethical hackers, is pioneering in an industry typically hobbled by inefficient practices. Existing services tend to deliver a PDF list of vulnerabilities at the end of a testing period, whereas Cobalt delivers results in real-time, integrated into the client’s existing environment.
Usefully for Cobalt, smaller and larger businesses alike have the need for its offering, as the use (and protection) of data becomes increasingly important across all scales. In an age where hacker tech is rapidly developing, Cobalt's continuous pen-testing will no doubt prove a vital and attractive tool, and the company's recent integration of AI will support its users in combatting more complex threats.
