Flexibility to address a wide range of needs

Leverage Attack Surface for full visibility

Run daily domain scans to see how your attack surface shifts, including new hosts, port, and IP changes - as well as basic vulnerability scanning to identify missing security headers, deprecated TLS, and weak ciphers. Discover externally reachable assets in your environment, even if they’re unknown to your team. Identify assets that need to be tested. And quickly shift from discovery to testing within the same platform.

Identify security issues at scale

Cobalt Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) delivers comprehensive scanning of web assets and APIs to uncover vulnerabilities and provide a clear understanding of your risk posture. Our platform centralizes scanning and testing, offering a unified view of asset risk. Address customer inquiries and meet compliance requirements efficiently with all your vulnerability data in one place. Cobalt DAST detects over 30,000 potential vulnerabilities, delivering detailed reports with precise remediation steps. Focus on critical security issues without the noise, thanks to an industry-leading false positive rate of just 0.1%.

Feed results directly to DevSecOps tools

The Cobalt platform offers a wide range of integrations to easily bring testing data into your broader technology workflows. Our native integrations with ITSM, DevOps, and collaboration tools can help you accelerate remediation and create more secure applications. We also offer the ability to bring testing and validation findings directly into your governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) tools and systems.

Founder and CEO at Jarvis Analytics
“When it came to pentesting and assessing our system against threats, we really gravitated towards the Pentesting as a Service model because it was important that my team could login and see exactly what was happening, what testers were working on and finding, as well being able to flexibly buy additional credits as needed.”

"Being able to interact with findings in the platform and discuss them through Slack makes for a much more efficient process. We’ve been able to get into it and engage with the findings there, which is a big improvement on the old process."
