Summary

Detectify, a SaaS security company harnessing the expertise of ethical hackers, has rebranded its core products to better reflect their functions and integration for enterprises. On November 11th, the names will change from Asset Monitoring to Surface Monitoring, and Deep Scan to Application Scanning, aiming to clarify their roles in external attack surface management and web vulnerability assessment. This rebranding underscores Detectify's shift from a dynamic application security scanner to a broader external attack surface management solution, leveraging its ethical hacker community, Detectify Crowdsource, for ongoing vulnerability research. Surface Monitoring provides continuous discovery of internet-facing assets and deploys testing across them to identify potential threats, while Application Scanning offers dynamic testing of live web applications. Despite the name changes, the products' functionality remains unchanged, with continuous updates to security tests, helping businesses manage and secure their attack surfaces effectively by combining automated scanning and hacker insights.
