Case Study: Sentara Healthcare achieves rapid, always-available pentesting and faster remediation with Cobalt

How Cobalt Transforms the Way Healthcare Companies Pentest

Sentara Healthcare, a regional healthcare system serving Virginia and northeastern North Carolina, needed in-depth penetration testing for a new application but was hampered by lengthy vendor paperwork and startup delays that threatened rollout timelines. After evaluating options, Sentara chose Cobalt for pentesting because of its speed, availability, and improved communication.

Cobalt provided on-demand pentesting with around-the-clock availability and JIRA integration, enabling testing to begin when needed and making developer handoffs seamless. By eliminating multi-day startup delays and giving Sentara a responsive pentest partner before, during, and after testing, Cobalt helped keep the rollout on schedule and streamlined remediation efforts.
