View company profile

We are Cobalt, a company founded in 2013 with the conviction that pentesting could be significantly improved. We pioneered the Pentest as a Service (PtaaS) domain by integrating a sophisticated SaaS platform with an exclusive, highly-vetted community of pentesters. This innovative approach was designed to disrupt traditional, often cumbersome, testing methodologies. Our journey began as Crowdcurity, driven by the observation that while there was a substantial demand for crowdsourced application security, the existing methods of penetration testing were falling short. We saw an opportunity to make robust application security accessible and efficient for everyone, not just large corporations.

Today, over 1,300 customers, ranging from dynamic startups to established enterprises, rely on us for their offensive security needs. Whether it's conducting comprehensive pentests for compliance, performing Digital Risk Assessments to uncover publicly available organizational information, or executing Secure Code Reviews to fortify software development processes, leading companies turn to our proven expertise. We are proud to be an award-winning, fully remote workplace with Scandinavian origins, an American operational base, and a truly global perspective. Our core commitment is to empower development, security, and operations teams to cultivate secure environments. We strive to enable organizations to operate without fear and innovate with confidence, fostering a collaborative approach that brings together all stakeholders to revolutionize security testing and contribute to a more secure world.
