[ how it works ]

What changeswhen you switch.

[ coverage ]

One platform across code, cloud,and dependencies.

A Cobalt engagement covers the assets on the scope document. Parameter covers the stack, and the agents correlate findings across it.

Web apps and APIs

Authentication, authorization, and business logic on the running application, tested as different users. Findings scanners cannot reason about: skipped steps, swapped identifiers, replayed requests.

Every pull request

An AI reviewer on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket flags exploitable issues as inline comments before the code is merged. The agents review more than 10,000 pull requests a day.

Cloud infrastructure

Misconfigured buckets, permissive IAM, and exposed services across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, with attack paths traced to your data and a Terraform fix for each.

Dependencies and secrets

Vulnerable packages flagged only when your code reaches the vulnerable path, and leaked keys caught in commits and git history before they ship.

[ definition ]

Why teams look for a Cobalt alternative

A Cobalt engagement is a good pentest of one moment. A scoping call, a statement of work, and tester availability sit between a code change and the test that validates it, and the window closes while your deployments continue. Parameter's agents test every release, keep the whole stack in scope, and prove each finding before it reaches you, so the report always describes what is in production now.
