Detectify: Crowdsourced External Attack Surface Management

An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief

Detectify detects vulnerabilities in externally facing applications and products, using a crowdsourced database. 

Detectify provides continuous monitoring for network subdomains to detect exposed files, potential vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations.

These External Attack Surface Management (ESAM) capabilities help development teams improve security for cloud based applications and products. 

Their crowdsourced database identifies more than 237,000 vulnerabilities, submitted by a community of more than 400 ethical hackers. The Dectecify dashboard filters scan results and applies security policies.  

Ethical hackers submit vulnerabilities to Detectify’s research team for inclusion in the database. If a submission is approved, Detectify includes the vulnerability in the scans and the hacker is  paid whenever Detectify identifies the vulnerability in a customer application or product. 

Detectify was founded by a team of ethical hackers who automated their approach and developed the product around it. 

Detectify is offered as a SaaS solution. Pricing is consumption based, depending on the scale of the organization’s network facing assets.
