Cobalt IO

Cobalt IO is a penetration testing platform that connects organizations with a vetted community of security researchers to continuously assess and improve their application and infrastructure security. The platform streamlines the full pentest lifecycle—from scoping and onboarding to execution, reporting, and remediation tracking—within a single, centralized interface. Its primary purpose is to make security testing more scalable, collaborative, and aligned with modern development workflows.

Key features include standardized pentest workflows, reusable test templates, and integrations with common development and ticketing tools such as Jira and GitHub to embed security findings directly into existing processes. Cobalt IO provides real-time collaboration between internal security teams and external pentesters, enabling faster clarification of findings and more efficient remediation. The platform offers detailed, structured reports with severity ratings, evidence, and recommended fixes, helping teams prioritize issues based on risk. Its SaaS delivery model and curated talent pool allow organizations to quickly spin up tests for web applications, APIs, mobile apps, and cloud environments without managing a traditional consulting engagement.
