In the context of increasing application and network complexity, integrating comprehensive application scanning with External Attack Surface Management (EASM) is crucial for enhancing security measures. Web application scanning, a form of security testing, focuses on identifying vulnerabilities within web applications by using automated tools to examine code, APIs, and user interfaces. EASM solutions are designed to discover and monitor an organization's Internet-facing assets for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, with automated scanning and reporting features. The combination of application scanning with EASM allows for more detailed analysis of web applications and a broader assessment of digital assets, improving security coverage and early detection of vulnerabilities. Detectify’s platform exemplifies this approach by combining Surface Monitoring and Application Scanning to efficiently manage and secure digital assets. Such integration offers benefits like reduced manual testing costs, faster response times, and compliance with regulatory frameworks, ultimately providing a comprehensive security posture for organizations.
