G2 Names Cobalt as a Leader in Enterprise Penetration Testing Software Category

Cobalt is proud to announce that G2 has named us the leader with its Enterprise 2024 Penetration Testing badge, marking another consecutive year receiving the category leader mention ​​on the G2 platform.

Our Offensive Security Testing Platform offers customers platform access to their pentest and is now enhanced with Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), setting a new standard in the industry by providing comprehensive, real-time security insights. This recognition from G2 is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team, and it motivates us to keep pushing the boundaries of what is possible in penetration testing and cybersecurity. 

Why Cobalt is the Top Choice

Cobalt is a recognized leader in penetration testing, offering a cutting-edge Offensive Security Testing Platform designed to modernize offensive security. This platform leverages an exclusive community of expert pentesters, providing real-time insights and detailed findings that enable organizations to quickly remediate risks and innovate securely. Cobalt’s commitment to excellence has been acknowledged by G2, which awarded the platform the "Best Meets Requirements" award. This recognition reflects customer satisfaction in key areas such as:

  • Ability to simulate cyberattacks on computer systems or applications
  • Gather findings on potential known vulnerabilities
  • Analyze exploits and report on the test outcomes

In addition, Cobalt has been named the only “outperformer” in the Pentesting as a Service (PtaaS) space by the GigaOm Radar Report. This report highlights Cobalt’s exceptional ability to meet the needs of both SMB and Enterprise segments. Cobalt received top marks in several critical areas, including: 

  • Feature Set: Comprehensive and robust features that address a wide range of security needs.
  • Risk Reduction: Effective strategies and tools to minimize security risks.
  • Speed: Rapid deployment and quick turnaround times for pentesting results.

DAST for Continuous Testing

To further enhance our Offensive Security Testing Platform, we integrated Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) into our suite of services. Unlike static testing methods, DAST involves testing applications in their running state, providing real-time insights into potential vulnerabilities. 

By incorporating DAST into the Cobalt Platform, we ensure that our clients' applications are not only secure at a single point in time but remain protected as new vulnerabilities emerge. Cobalt Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) aligns with DevSecOps environments by enabling security and development teams to:

  • Ensure any recently introduced vulnerabilities are promptly identified, reducing the window of opportunity for potential attackers.
  • With near-zero false positives (0.06%), our tool ensures that detected vulnerabilities are a real threat that needs to be addressed.
  • Gain a collective view of asset risk and overall security posture across automated tooling and manual pentests.

By combining the strengths of Offensive Security and DAST, Cobalt offers a comprehensive, continuous testing solution that adapts to the evolving threat landscape. This integrated approach allows us to provide our clients with the most robust and proactive security measures available, helping them stay one step ahead of potential attackers.
