Agile Pentesting

Pentest at the Speed of Your SDLC

An Agile Pentest focuses on a specific area of an asset, or a specific vulnerability across an asset. Agile Pentesting is flexible in nature, and usually has a smaller scope. The final artifact for an Agile Pentest is an automated report, intended for internal use.

Overview

Pentesting for ALL Your Needs

Pentesting can do more for your security program than just fulfill compliance obligations. If your team is launching a new feature, making code changes to an existing feature, or preparing for an M&A, pentests can help maintain critical security standards. The best part? With Cobalt, you can pentest for a wide range of scenarios without sacrificing your agility and speed.

VP of Compliance and Security at Cengage
“A good pentest for us is the right people, doing the right tests. But then it’s also communicating that effectively and then partnering with our organization in order to actually close those vulnerabilities once they’ve been found.”

"I would recommend Cobalt to other banks and financial institutions. Simply put, you do the rotation for us. Pentesters rotate each time we do an engagement with Cobalt and that checks the box from an auditing standpoint."
