Why these ratings?
Cyberse perspective
Summary by Cyberse
Microsoft Sentinel may be considered a good fit for you due to its powerful capabilities.
Here’s a few tips on how to maximize its capabilities:
We use the following criteria to rate this product’s functionality:
Cost considerations
Cobalt lists fixed-scope pentest packages online, bills by sprint rather than open-ended hours, and includes a complimentary remediation retest, so costs are easy to forecast. Fees are generally lower than traditional firms that add travel and day-rate overhead. Extra services like social-engineering are separate, but the prices are disclosed up front, limiting budget surprises.
Capabiliities
Cobalt Offensive Security Services delivers hands-on testing for web, API, and standard network assets with clear reports, but offers only limited coverage for cloud or mobile stacks and omits red-team or social-engineering work, placing its capability level in the market’s middle tier.
Team expertise
Cobalt assigns engagements to a vetted pool of freelance testers, and the company reports that most hold OSCP or comparable certifications and have several years of hands-on pentest work. Customer references describe access to specialists in web, cloud, and mobile security, indicating breadth of skill. Because the talent marketplace model blends senior and mid-level practitioners, expertise is strong overall but not uniformly elite.
Tools & methodology
Cobalt Offensive Security Services follows OWASP and PTES, combines skilled testers with commercial and open-source tools, and delivers structured findings through its portal. The engagement has clear scoping, safe testing controls, and remediation guidance instead of a basic scanner report. Cobalt lacks proprietary exploit frameworks or deep root-cause analysis, so it sits just below the top tier.
Company reputation
Cobalt has hundreds of repeat enterprise customers and publishes public customer stories without reports of litigation or data-handling issues. Independent reviews and analyst notes describe reliable delivery, and no public NDA or confidentiality failures are on record. This solid track record and visibility place Cobalt above average, though there is limited evidence of major industry awards that would push it to the top tier.
