Detectify is an external attack surface management (EASM) and web application scanner platform that continuously monitors public-facing assets for vulnerabilities. Powered by a network of elite ethical hackers (Detectify Crowdsource) who submit new findings before they're public, Detectify detects vulnerabilities within hours of disclosure — faster than CVE databases. Used by Spotify, King, and Trello for continuous external security monitoring without manual pentesting cycles.
