Pentest as a service - what a great business model

CobaltIO is the best pentesting company I worked with. What makes them different is the manual testing of any discovered vulnerability rather than running automated pen tests. They use common tools for this which would be available to everyone but at the same time they compesate that with their skills and knowledge. Cobalt is the only company I know which is very transparent on their testers' recruitment criteria and staging. Customer support is great and very helpful.

Cobalt - excellent partner in security testing efforts

Ability to launch pentests quickly without unnecessary overhead. High quality of researchers and relevance of reported vulnerabilities. Clear testing process and good communication throughout engagements. The platform facilitates smooth collaboration between internal teams and pentesters. Reports are well-structured, with clearly defined severity and business impact. Slack integration and real-time interaction with researchers. Flexibility in scoping and scheduling tests.

Excellent Platform and an Industry Standard Product for our Pentesting Program

The platform and the service is well polished and the customer service is excellent. The credit based pricing helps us guage our pentesting costs. The wide array of pentesting approaches they provide are excellent. We were able to start utilizing the product from day one with minimal time to implement. The ablitlity to complete our annual pentest programs plus adhoc customer requirements is a positive.
