Summary

Companies face challenges in securing their increasingly complex and expanding attack surfaces due to the rapid proliferation of data, the rise of third-party software, and the growing volume of domains. Attackers and security professionals view these surfaces from different perspectives, creating vulnerabilities where their views do not align. To manage this, organizations are encouraged to adopt External Attack Surface Management (EASM), which involves using attacker-like reconnaissance methods to identify and secure potential vulnerabilities. Detectify, a platform powered by a community of ethical hackers, aids companies in managing their web security by automating testing for vulnerabilities, identifying unknown assets, and integrating the latest attack vectors into development processes. This approach allows organizations to make informed security decisions and efficiently allocate their security resources, ultimately enhancing their digital resilience.
