How to get started with Cobalt

:::

Optimize your Cobalt experience and maximize your security impact by completing these key steps:

1. Discover Your Attack Surface

Find all of your externally reachable targets by scanning your domains. Our Attack Surface feature automatically maps your internet-facing assets, so you can easily see what’s exposed and identify potential vulnerabilities.

2. Automate Vulnerability Scanning

Start scanning for vulnerabilities in your web applications and APIs with our Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) scanner. Every customer gets one target for FREE with unlimited scanning.

3. Define Your Assets

Clearly define your assets to ensure your pentests are comprehensive and efficient. Your assets are the web applications, APIs, or other systems you want to have tested.

4. Start a Pentest

Schedule and launch a pentest directly from the Cobalt platform. Choose your desired start date and testing methodology to begin protecting your assets.

5. Integrate Your Tools

Connect Cobalt with the tools you already use, like Jira or GitHub, using our Integration Builder. This no-code platform lets you automate security workflows and share data seamlessly.

6. Plan Your Security Program

Centrally visualize and manage your annual testing program. Use our Planning feature to plan, track, and execute all of your tests in one place.
