At Detectify, we proudly maintain an AppSec perspective when it comes to how we handle security. But what does this mean exactly? In short, we think a lot about how both AppSec teams and developers will experience our platform and products. We know that today’s developers are feeling the pressure to get new code out to production to meet the demands of the business. These business demands have increased the need for AppSec tooling to leverage automation whenever possible.

We know that most security teams today handle a backlog of thousands of vulnerabilities. We also know that not all of these vulnerabilities pose a significant risk to your organization, whether or not they have a high severity score or are present on a business-critical asset. We’ve spoken with dozens of security teams over the last few months and have learned that filtering vulnerabilities across several factors is critical to accelerating remediation.

Today’s organizations have a plethora of tools and technologies to protect their systems and assets. While this is certainly a privilege, it can sometimes be tough to keep up with the ever-expanding lists of acronyms and tools out there.

Below, we’ll take a look at how both DAST as a methodology and DAST as a tool relate to what we do at Detectify. More specifically, we’ll explain how Detectify’s solution applies DAST methodology with an External Attack Surface Management (EASM) mindset to deliver the most value to AppSec and ProdSec teams.

TL;DR: There is a common belief that when it comes to uncovering bugs in the DevSecOps cycle, catching things early on is often better. While this approach certainly works well for Software Composition Analysis (SCA) and Static Application Security Testing (SAST), it doesn’t really apply to Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) in modern environments.

Many security teams have thousands – if not hundreds of thousands! – of known assets and unknown assets that they continuously monitor for vulnerabilities and risks. Viewing large volumes of assets can be cumbersome, particularly when observing a specific characteristic of an asset, such as the technologies it’s hosting or its DNS record type. That’s why we’re adding additional customization to the All Asset view.

Security teams know, bug bounty hunters, and ethical hackers know it: Large attack surfaces are hard to manage. In this day and age, if you’re a medium-large organization without a comprehensive External Attack Surface Management (EASM) program in place, there’s a pretty good chance that you have some hosts on the Internet that you’re not aware of. Despite this, the concept of EASM is still new to many.

Conversations about basic cybersecurity hygiene often start with a lecture on effective patch management. While proper patch management is certainly recommended, much more can be done. Say you’ve locked the doors of your house before leaving for vacation – an opportunist might only check to see if the doors are locked, but a persistent thief might try the windows or look for other ways in. Similarly, CVEs and CVSS serve a purpose, but they still leave you with many untreated risks. Why?

Gunnar Andrews discusses how ethical hackers can look to EASM techniques to help increase their ethical hacking skills. For organizations, this article gives insight into the methods and types of information that ethical hackers or even malicious attackers will collect to increase knowledge about an organization’s assets.

Security teams have more data about their attack surfaces than ever before. Today, Detectify continuously monitors over 3 million domains (up from 700k around this time last year). As the attack surface grows, so does that amount of data that security teams have to manage. And security teams are feeling the pinch. We’re excited to announce Groups, a more intuitive approach to grouping assets across your attack surface.

Included by Gartner in 2021 as a major cybersecurity category and an emerging product, the External Attack Surface Management (EASM) term might be new. Still, the idea behind it is nothing new: identifying risks coming from internet-facing assets that an organization may be unaware of.

This question still triggers some interesting discussions among security professionals. Does the perimeter still exist, or has it become impossible to outline due to the immense asset list and expansion of an organization’s attack surface? Included by Gartner in 2021 as a major cybersecurity category and an emerging product, the External Attack Surface Management (EASM) term might be new. Still, the idea behind it is nothing new: identifying risks coming from internet-facing assets that an organization may be unaware of.

What are organizations doing wrong when it comes to security? While today’s code-quality security is good, the sharing between each domain or principle is lacking, such as using infrastructure as code. Some people have become lazy, using other people’s templates and sometimes without knowing the security details. There is no technical depth (the rule now is; if it works, it works). Security metrics are valued by the exploitation that happens. We learn by being hacked, and that is not how it should work.

Penetration testing is a vulnerability detection mechanism that uses multistep and multivector attack scenarios to find vulnerabilities and attempts to exploit them. While some companies might be continuously pentesting, others don’t at all, this is often due to lacking security culture, budget limitations, or both.

Our security researchers happen to be talented bug bounty hunters as well as the brains behind of Detectify's efforts to develop a leading-edge API security scanner. Why is developing a reliable API security tool so challenging? It's because every API is different, which means it’s challenging to have a standardized approach to security testing on APIs. Almroth states that the team will focus on developing an API security scanner that focuses on server-side vulnerabilities. Both share that this is going to use fuzzing techniques.

Yes the rumors are true, the teams at Detectify are working hard at researching and developing security testing for APIs. Senior security researchers, Tom Hudson and Fredrik Nordberg Almroth answer questions about API security. Just like web apps, APIs can’t be secured with rule-based automated scanners - they need context! That’s why we are developing our fuzzing engine to cover public-facing APIs and test them like a hacker would.

The External Attack Surface Management market category only emerged in mid-2021 but is already seeing significant product development and evolution growth. This e-book demystifies some of the information around EASM - especially its relation to other attack surface management (ASM) product categories and how product security teams can leverage EASM to go beyond asset discovery and inventory.

Detectify is a web security scanner that performs fully automated tests to identify security issues on your website. It tests your website for over 1000 vulnerabilities, including OWASP Top 10, and can be used on both staging and production environments. Detectify’s simple to use interface, integrations with popular developer tools, team functionality, and informative reports simplify security and allow you to integrate it into your workflow.

We work with some of the best white hat hackers in the world through our Detectify Crowdsource platform and our internal security research team to continually build more security tests into our tool. We now scan for over 1000+ known vulnerabilities.

What makes us unique:

  • White hat hackers: Detectify was built by renowned white hat hackers, who have legally hacked companies like Google, Facebook and PayPal. In 2016, we launched Detectify Crowdsource, a global network of 150+ handpicked ethical hackers that continously report their latest findings to us. In the last year, we received 450+ submissions that generated nearly 40 000 findings amongst our users.
  • Usability: The Detectify experience is designed to be easy, fun and accessible. The goal to simplify security has shaped Detectify’s UI, making it both intuitive and easily adjusted to your needs. This is why Detectify seamlessly integrates into the development process and offers integrations with all popular developer tools.
  • Educational: Detectify offers team functionality so that users can easily share reports within their team and/or with clients. Most findings have links to resources where you can read up on the vulnerability and learn how to fix it. You will have access to more than 100 guides, attack demo videos, quizzes etc, which will quickly increase the security awareness in your organisation.
