Case Study: Axel Springer achieves continuous security monitoring and faster remediation with Cobalt's PtaaS

How Axel Springer Leverages Continuous Pentesting

Axel Springer SE, a leading German media company, needed more regular, up-to-date pentesting to protect its large stores of sensitive customer and employee data. To address gaps in continuous testing, fresh vulnerability discovery, and dated reporting from traditional vendors, Axel Springer selected Cobalt’s Pentest as a Service (PtaaS) platform.

Cobalt delivered continuous security monitoring with on-demand access to a global, vetted community of pentesters, real-time visibility into findings, and Jira integration to accelerate fixes into the development lifecycle. The Cobalt solution gave Axel Springer increased transparency, faster remediation and development cycles, and improved prioritization of vulnerabilities—enabling quicker retesting and more effective risk reduction.
