Findings
Review and remediate findings that our pentesters discover.
A finding is a vulnerability that a pentester reports during a pentest. Pentesters describe the vulnerabilities that they found during the pentest and provide recommendations on how to fix them.
Once your pentest goes Live, our pentesters start testing your asset. You get updates from pentesters in a dedicated Slack channel and in the Pentester Updates sidebar.
Note
You can manage findings using the Cobalt API. Learn more in our
API documentation.
