SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RSAC 2026 — Cobalt, the pioneer of Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) and a leading provider of human-led, AI-powered offensive security solutions, today announced that the Cobalt Offensive Security Platform has received five top honors at RSAC 2026. These accolades reflect continued industry recognition for its leadership in modern offensive security and Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM). Attendees of RSAC 2026 can learn more by visiting the Cobalt team at Booth #N4519 at the Moscone Conference Center.

The awards span several of the cybersecurity industry’s most respected programs. At the Globee Cybersecurity Awards, Cobalt was named a Gold Winner and Best of Category for PTaaS. The company was also recognized as a Finalist by SC Media at the 2026 SC Awards for its innovation in CTEM, highlighting its role in helping organizations move from point-in-time testing to continuous, risk-driven security validation.

In addition, Cobalt earned two Market Disruptor awards from Cyber Defense Magazine’s Global InfoSec Awards 2026–one for CTEM and one for PTaaS–underscoring its impact on reshaping how organizations identify, prioritize, and remediate risk. Cobalt was also named a Gold Award recipient in the PTaaS category by the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards, further validating its platform-driven approach to offensive security.

“These awards reflect a broader shift in how organizations approach security testing,” said Sonali Shah, CEO of Cobalt. “Security teams are moving away from fragmented, point-in-time assessments toward continuous, programmatic approaches that mitigate the risk caused by the ever expanding/evolving attack surface. The Cobalt Platform brings together expert-led testing, AI agents for discovery, testing and reporting, and AI-powered insights to help organizations not just find vulnerabilities, but prioritize and fix what matters most.”

The Cobalt Platform enables organizations to evolve from static evaluations to a continuous, offensive security program that continuously adapts to evolving environments. Using the largest dataset of real-world pentesting intelligence in the industry, it applies historical exploit intelligence to refine testing logic and ensure every engagement is smarter than the last. The company’s recognition across PTaaS and CTEM highlights its role in helping enterprises operationalize offensive security as an ongoing, scalable program.

These latest honors build on the company’s continued momentum in the enterprise market and reinforce its commitment to delivering modern, programmatic security testing aligned with how organizations build and ship software today.
