Tugboat Logic and Cobalt.io Partner to Deliver 100% Remotely-Managed Penetration Testing & Security Audits
Next generation software-as-a-service platforms for pen testing and security assurance accelerate the completion of security assessments like SOC 2, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and HIPAA.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Tugboat Logic announced today that it has joined forces with Cobalt.io, the world's first Pentest as a Service (PtaaS) platform, to help clients leverage modern pentesting of their applications to effectively identify and remediate critical risks in less time than traditional consulting approaches. Tugboat Logic's AuditLogic(TM) module automatically defines the scope of a security audit with pre-built guidance on how to secure critical applications and infrastructure. Cobalt.io's innovative PtaaS approach builds on Tugboat Logic's guidance to help IT teams prioritize their work quickly, target compliance and security gaps, and reduce costs by integrating efforts across IT and Development teams.
One of the biggest challenges for enterprises today is the time it takes to complete security audits. This is especially the case with pentesting. As one of the more time-consuming security controls within an audit, it can be difficult to schedule testing, identify gaps while manually lifting updates into a modern software development lifecycle (SDLC). Cobalt.io and Tugboat Logic have partnered to address this problem using their unique SaaS-delivery platforms to help agile teams remediate vulnerabilities as soon as they're found, leading to faster triage and more actionable test results. Customers can get started in 24 hours with Cobalt.io, using its highly vetted global network of pen testing experts, without the need for an on-site consultation. Likewise, Tugboat Logic enables remote collaboration with auditors, allowing customers to automatically collect and share evidence as needed.
Tugboat Logic is the leading Security Assurance Platform trusted by hundreds of innovative companies including Slice, Heap, and Schneider Electric. Clients who use Tugboat Logic and Cobalt.io together will see dramatically reduced operational costs and the time to complete audits drop by 50% or more compared to traditional consulting services. This helps companies accelerate the sales process by quickly building assurance with customers that their product or service is secure.
"We have always been impressed with Cobalt.io and their more modern approach to penetration testing for cloud-based application environments," said Jose Costa, Chief Information Security Officer at Tugboat Logic. "Their transparent pricing and service delivery model impressed us enough for us to be a customer before we became a partner."
"Cobalt.io and Tugboat Logic are breaking the service delivery model of traditional approaches to security audits and IT development operations," said Karen Nguyen, Cobalt.io VP of Sales. "For Cobalt.io, our combination of data, technology, and talent uniquely addresses the security challenges of the modern enterprise and ensures we provide the smartest, most efficient services possible."
Cobalt recently issued a study conducted by Dr. Chenxi Wang, security thought leader and Forbes contributor, that outlines the benefits and challenges of a PtaaS solution in a modern software development environment. Tugboat Logic's own companion eBook provides additional context around automation for DevOps and sustaining a continuous compliance program for your organization.
