Sportingtech needed a faster, more scalable way to test their growing platform, so they shifted to Cobalt’s human-led, AI-powered PTaaS and moved from periodic pentesting to a continuous, integrated offensive security program. With Cobalt PTaaS, Sportingtech: 🔹 Ran 15 pentests in 13 months across web, mobile, API, and LLM applications 🔹 Shifted testing earlier in the SSDLC to catch issues before they hit production 🔹 Achieved a 75%+ fix rate thanks to real-time collaboration with expert pentesters 🔹 Gained actionable insights to strengthen detection controls and validate remediation This case study shows how a modern security team can reinforce platform reliability, accelerate delivery, and sharpen their offensive security strategy, all without slowing down innovation. 🏃💨 #CobaltGivesThanks #cybersecurity #pentesting #infosec
