How Detectify embraces the best of both DAST and ASM

Detectify integrates Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) methodology with Attack Surface Management (ASM) to enhance application security through automation and scalability. Unlike traditional DAST tools, Detectify's approach encompasses the entire attack surface by using a combination of Surface Monitoring and Application Scanning, effectively covering even the less obvious assets that might be vulnerable. The company leverages crowdsource intelligence to identify and automate detection of undocumented vulnerabilities, providing a broader scope beyond common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs). Their platform continuously scans domains for vulnerabilities, offering real-world testing and customizable security policies, while their advanced Application Scanning tool detects vulnerabilities using crawling, fuzzing, and authentication techniques. Overall, Detectify aims to provide comprehensive attack surface coverage by combining DAST methodology with ASM, offering a holistic approach to application security.
