| Cyber Security Engineer at a tech services company with 51-200 employees | 4.5 | I frequently use Fortra's Cobalt Strike for independent research due to its versatility in command and control operations. Its GUI streamlines large network management, but its delivery methods need improvement, especially for modern multi-factor authentication bypass techniques. |
| Tech Cyber Security Specialist, Director at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees | 5.0 | I use Cobalt Strike to emulate threat actor activities due to its customization and automation capabilities, enhancing offensive security. While stability can improve, its limitations often stem from user expertise. I've considered alternatives but remain with Cobalt Strike. |
