Introducing Protocol Discovery to stop guessing what’s behind your open ports

Detectify has introduced Protocol Discovery, a sophisticated engine designed to provide detailed visibility into services communicating through open ports, moving beyond traditional port scanning. This engine is optimized for the rapid pace of modern cloud environments, scanning assets in under 10 seconds and identifying complex protocols, such as multiplexed ones like SOCKS5, and services operating on non-standard ports. Unlike conventional tools that merely identify open ports, Protocol Discovery exposes specifics about the services, enhancing security by uncovering high-risk exposures like Redis or MongoDB databases and SSH running on unexpected ports. This advancement builds on principles from open-source tools like Nmap but with twice the number of probes for detecting service-specific signatures, offering unparalleled speed and deeper insight into niche and legacy protocols. The gathered data integrates directly into users' workflows via the Detectify dashboard, featuring a Protocols Page for comprehensive protocol monitoring, protocol-based filtering for higher accuracy, and automated policies for proactive security management, ensuring users can quickly understand and mitigate their exposure.
