Top Penetration Testing Startups in 2024

Cobalt is the new way of doing application security. Cobalt leverages a global intelligent community of security researchers to help modern SaaS organizations uncover security vulnerabilities. We run agile pen tests.

We determine the organisation's current state and targets a desired future state that reduces cyber risks to provide better protection from cyber-attacks. The purpose is to identify gaps in organization and prepare an action plan for improvement. The process provides organisations with clear insights into their cybersecurity weaknesses and strengths in order to improve their current security posture or benchmark against best practices in the industry.

We are a school offering courses in cyber security by encouraging students to use the same tools, techniques, and mindset as a hacker, we level the playing field for defenders. We teach that offense is the best defense. Our curriculum isn’t just about technical skill, although we do develop that with rigorous training. We also challenge our students to Try Harder. This means developing a growth mindset, engaging critical thinking skills, and overcoming unforeseen obstacles. We have defined the standard of excellence in penetration testing training. Our instructors teach our intense training scenarios and exceptional course material.

Founded in 2019, DarkRelay is lead by Cybersecurity veterans who are SANS 760, GXPN, GPEN, OSCP, OSCE, and CISSP certified with more than 16 years of experience in cyber security research and development. DarkRelay uses its perspective to build valuable security programs for clients. Our team of researchers is making important discoveries in our area of focus, such as software security and medical devices security. While everyone is working in their particular field, our collaborative Cybersecurity Lab means that we are all working towards a common goal. Major services: - Penetration Testing - Fuzzing - Vulnerability Assessment - Red Teaming - Medical Device Security - Cybersecurity Trainings

All software contains security flaws, and there are more bad guys attacking the companies that depend on this software than there are good guys defending them. According to PBS, upwards of 209,000 cybersecurity jobs in the U.S. are unfilled, and postings are up 74 percent over the past five years. This number will rise dramatically over the next 10 years as technology trends like public clouds, enterprise mobility and IoT make our businesses and lives more vulnerable to attackers. So who will meet these security demands? Bugcrowd is the premier marketplace for security testing on web, mobile, source code and client-side applications. Taking the leads of Facebook, Paypal and Google's crowdsourced bug bounty programs, we've developed a platform and community that combines a proprietary vulnerability reporting platform with the largest crowd of security researchers on the planet.

We are a platform that makes it easy for developers to adopt security in their CI/CD pipelines and deliver secure applications, similar to what Synk did for open-source software components. We enable developers to ensure data is always accessed (via APIs) in a secure & authorized manner.
