Case Study: Algolia increases security and modernizes pentesting with Cobalt

How Algolia Increases Security with Cobalt

Algolia, a provider of hosted search APIs, needed a pentest partner that wouldn’t slow down development, produced clear, actionable findings, and reduced testing burden on its internal security and engineering teams. To modernize and expand its penetration testing program, Algolia selected Cobalt’s Pentest as a Service platform.

Cobalt delivered a platform-driven pentesting program that manages the full find-to-fix workflow, creating transparency, a feedback loop, and seamless communication with Algolia’s engineers. The engagement reduced vulnerabilities, lowered testing support strain, and enabled Algolia to generate customizable reports for different audiences—providing tangible evidence of its security posture and greater operational confidence.
