Detectify's inclusion in the 2023 Gartner Competitive Landscape for External Attack Surface Management (EASM) report highlights the evolving role of EASM as a critical component of modern cybersecurity strategies. The report points out that while external asset discovery is a core feature of EASM, it no longer differentiates products due to widespread vendor claims, leading to ambiguity and potential productivity issues. Detectify emphasizes that EASM should seamlessly integrate into existing security infrastructures, offering a more comprehensive solution than traditional Application Security (AppSec) tools. By focusing on rapid vulnerability resolution and integrating with developer workflows via tools like Slack and Jira, Detectify's EASM platform aims to replace outdated AppSec tools, enhance process efficiency, and provide continuous, actionable insights for AppSec and ProdSec teams. The platform's unique features, such as Attack Surface Custom Policies and Groups, empower organizations to manage their digital assets effectively, challenging the notion that EASM is merely an additional expense.
