Summary

Detectify has enhanced its Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) scanner with a new fuzzing engine to mimic the behavior of an automated hacker, enabling the discovery of more challenging security vulnerabilities. This advancement allows the scanner, called Deep Scan, to go beyond static testing by employing an enhanced black-box testing approach that identifies vulnerabilities not typically found by conventional scanners. The revamped fuzzing engine enables the detection of new vulnerability classes and has already led to an increase in medium and high-severity vulnerability findings for customers. By improving the ability to detect these critical vulnerabilities, the new engine not only saves time and resources for users but also contributes to the broader mission of making the internet more secure. Detectify encourages users to explore this new capability through a demo or trial, offering them the opportunity to identify previously undetectable vulnerabilities in their web applications.
