Detectify Features

This centralized view provides application security (AppSec) teams with visibility into all internet-facing assets and their current security status. The dashboard offers complete coverage, combining automated Detectify features like surface monitoring and application scanning, ensuring teams have a single source of truth for their attack surface.

See How It Works

This component delivers continuous External Attack Surface Management (EASM), automatically discovering and inventorying all public-facing assets like domains, subdomains, and cloud resources. It monitors the entire DNS footprint for changes, providing comprehensive asset discovery and risk prioritization across your digital exposure.

See How It Works

The dynamic application security testing (DAST) engine rigorously checks custom-built web applications for critical, exploitable vulnerabilities. It leverages advanced crawling and fuzzing techniques to maintain state and authenticate, ensuring deep, comprehensive assessment even within complex web applications.

See How It Works

This feature focuses on dynamic, security-led assessment of modern APIs exposed via the external attack surface. It uses proprietary fuzzing and real-world payloads to confirm API vulnerabilities with high fidelity. It supports continuous assessment, providing actionable findings for AppSec teams integrated into development workflows.

See How It Works

This specialized monitoring capability continuously scans DNS records to identify and alert on domains susceptible to subdomain takeover attacks. It helps organizations eliminate a critical and common attack vector, providing domain-specific insights and clear remediation guidance to protect brand reputation and user trust.

Integrates well with other tools

Pros

The dynamic application security testing capabilities really stand out to me. It works well for teams looking to expand their security testing without dealing with complex configurations. Setting it up and customizing it is easy plus it integrates smoothly into our existing workflows.

Cons

The tool has some real gaps that need addressing. One major issue is the poor GraphQL support. It really struggles with mutations and queries. What bothers me most is how unclear the spidering results are. Sure, the crawling feature works but you never really know if it actually covered your entire application properly since there's barely any detail about what it found or missed during the process.

complex set up

Pros

I really appreciate how comprehensive this tool is. There are so many security testing features available. I love that I can tailor everything to fit exactly what I need. The documentation is top-notch too giving clear guidance on fixing any issues that come up.

Cons

Since it's automated it doesn't provide the insights that a human tester would catch. The pricing can get high when you're testing multiple sites and the initial setup process is pretty complex.

Saves a lot of time

Pros

The automated vulnerability testing is a huge time-saver for our team. We don't have to manually track dependencies anymore which frees us up for other tasks.

Cons

The pricing structure got pretty confusing lately and it's just not competitive anymore for smaller site scans.
