Summary

Detectify is committed to enhancing Internet security by leveraging automation and crowdsourced hacker expertise, offering a modern approach to web application security for SaaS and tech organizations. As code deployment accelerates, the challenge for security teams to manage changes and address new threats grows, necessitating a focus on External Attack Surface Management. With thousands of vulnerabilities being reported, rapid detection and response are crucial, as demonstrated by the swift exploitation of vulnerabilities shortly after their disclosure. Detectify emphasizes the importance of integrating security into the development process through automated, dynamic application security testing (DAST) and regular vulnerability scanning, ensuring that only critical alerts are flagged and addressed promptly. Collaboration between automated tools and human expertise, such as pentesting and bug bounty programs, is essential for robust security, and Detectify offers cloud-based solutions that quickly translate hacker research into actionable insights. The platform aims to align security with development processes, allowing organizations to maintain safety at scale and speed.
