About
Cobalt is a Pentest as a Service (PTaaS) platform that combines a purpose-built SaaS application with an on-demand community of vetted security researchers to deliver penetration testing engagements. The platform enables enterprises to launch pentests in as little as 24 hours, covering web applications, APIs, AI/LLM systems, networks, and cloud infrastructure. Cobalt Core — its community of expert pentesters — uses AI-assisted workflows to accelerate vulnerability discovery and streamline remediation reporting. The platform integrates with developer tools to push findings directly into engineering workflows, enabling continuous offensive security programs rather than point-in-time assessments. Cobalt conducts over 5,000 pentests annually across industries including fintech, healthcare, and enterprise SaaS.
