Offensive security leader Cobalt today officially launched its Autonomous Pentest solution. Consequently, this modern platform enables continuous security testing across an organization’s entire application portfolio. Furthermore, development teams can now receive actionable Pentest results within just 24 hours. As software development speeds up with AI, security teams must match that relentless pace. Traditional testing schedules no longer protect expanding enterprise attack surfaces effectively. Therefore, this new Pentest model bridges the growing gap between rapid deployment and effective protection.
Blending AI Orchestration with Elite Human Expertise
Specifically, the platform integrates three core capabilities to streamline workflow management. First, experienced security professionals directly guide every single Pentest engagement. Second, a model-agnostic engine leverages 13 years of exploit data for adaptive chain prediction. Third, the enterprise tool delivers fast next-day findings straight into Jira, GitHub, and Slack. According to research from Omdia, 94% of organizations emphasize keeping humans involved in security programs. Thus, Cobalt relies on its global community of 500 vetted experts to validate every Pentest output. Ultimately, this robust framework draws from over 10,000 high-severity vulnerability findings to protect critical corporate digital assets.
“Meeting the demands of today’s development cycles requires more than automating traditional pentesting,” said Sonali Shah, CEO, Cobalt. “It requires rethinking how offensive security is delivered. Only Cobalt unifies the four critical elements of modern offensive security: elite human expertise, a context-aware platform, AI-powered orchestration, and the industry’s largest dataset of real-world pentest results. Together, these capabilities enable security teams to continuously identify, prioritize, and remediate exploitable risk at the speed of modern software development.”
Beyond rapid detection, the Autonomous Pentest offering addresses broader enterprise portfolio needs. Organizations can now extend security coverage to low-risk and secondary applications without exhausting internal resources.
At the same time, deep human-led testing continues to be focused on high-risk systems and strict compliance mandates. This flexible approach allows security teams to apply the right level of testing to each digital asset. This means enterprises remove dangerous blind spots in their growing software ecosystems.
Speed without clarity also often causes friction between development and security teams. The Autonomous Pentest solution eliminates this bottleneck with actionable, verified remediation steps. Pentesters provide complete proof-of-exploit demonstrations to validate every vulnerability prior to delivery. This frees up developers from verifying false positives and allows more time to be spent fixing real problems. This integrated process speeds up risk mitigation as a whole in fast-moving engineering settings.
Cobalt will be presenting the new Autonomous Pentest platform at Black Hat USA 2026. Conference attendees can view live demonstrations of the solution at booth 4903 in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, the product will be generally available for global enterprise customers starting in August 2026. Enterprise leaders can look to subscription models to seamlessly scale offensive security programs. Cobalt continues to set new standards for continuous exposure management in software development.
