Application security built and trusted by hackers

Most scanners focus on vulnerabilities that are already publicly known and cataloged in CVE databases. By the time those issues are widely documented, attackers are often already aware of them. Detectify takes a different approach by continuously scanning your attack surface with its own payload-based tests, built from real-world exploitation research contributed by its ethical hacker community. As a result, based on Detectify's own data over the past three years, 99% of the vulnerabilities it finds do not have a CVE assigned. Detectify also avoids running irrelevant CVE checks against technologies you don't use, so your team focuses only on findings that actually matter.

Most teams are scanning on the same day they sign up. Detectify starts discovering assets and running scans right away. Connecting your DNS providers is recommended for full attack surface coverage but isn't required, and there are no agents to deploy or per-asset configuration to worry about.

Every Detectify test is 100% payload-based. Rather than simply fingerprinting technologies, Detectify actively verifies exploitability using techniques similar to those used by real attackers. Before any test is released, it is reviewed by Detectify's security researchers according to the same standards applied to their own research and to submissions from the ethical hacker community. This approach helps maintain a 99.7% accuracy rate.

Your external attack surface includes everything a potential attacker can see and access from the internet: domains, subdomains, web applications, APIs, IP addresses, and connected third-party services. It includes both known assets and the Shadow IT you don't: assets that may have been forgotten, inherited through acquisitions, or deployed outside established security review processes.

Your internal attack surface includes the systems, services, and applications that live behind your perimeter, like internal APIs, admin tools, staging environments, and cloud workloads. Detectify's Internal Scanner covers this layer, so you're not just secure from the outside in, you're secure end to end.

Detectify focuses on the runtime layer, what is actually exposed and exploitable across both your external and internal attack surfaces. It complements SAST and SCA tools, which identify issues earlier in the software development lifecycle, as well as penetration testing programs, by providing continuous coverage between scheduled assessments. Findings integrate directly into Jira, Slack, and Azure DevOps, so your team can work within its existing workflows.

Yes. Alongside the tools our security engineers use directly, Detectify gives AI agents the same deterministic, payload-based testing through our native MCP server and CLI. Agents connect once, then integrate into the developer's existing coding tools to validate their own output against your live attack surface. So whether a human or an agent is shipping code, they're working from the same source of truth.
