What it sells: Detectify

What Application Scanning does[9][10]
Application Scanning crawls apps in a real browser, so it renders JavaScript and handles single-page apps. It tests with payloads from 1,765+ modules built by ethical hackers in the Crowdsource community. A recorded login lets it test areas behind sign-in.
What API Scanning does[10]
API Scanning builds the scan from an uploaded OpenAPI spec or GraphQL schema. Findings are confirmed by running the payload, not by matching a signature.
What Alfred AI does[13]
Alfred AI monitors public CVE disclosures to find CVEs with a working public proof of concept. It builds a payload-based test from the proof of concept. A Detectify security researcher reviews every test before it goes live.

What it sells: Fleuret AI

What Émile does[4][6]
A separate validator confirms every finding with a non-destructive exploit. Every finding ships with a working, replayable exploit. Each finding lands as a ticket with its exploit, an owner and a remediation, pushed to Jira, Linear or Slack.
What Hortense does[4][5][6]
Hortense maps a customer's estate from domain to database. Hortense crosses what changed in the code with what is exposed on the internet and what past pentests found. Hortense prepares the scope, and a person with launch rights starts the pentest, which Émile runs. Hortense comes with every yearly plan.

About Detectify

Detectify is an application security platform that combines Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) and Attack Surface Management (ASM). Detectify says it discovers a full attack surface, including assets an organization may not know exist, and tests every asset for exploitable vulnerabilities using payload-based techniques developed by more than 400 ethical hackers.

Detectify describes a problem with legacy application security: scanners only test the assets they are told about, so shadow IT stays invisible. Detectify also says fingerprint-based checks flag versions instead of real exploitability. Detectify positions its platform as SaaS-only with nothing to install.[7][14]

Every Detectify product starts with Discovery, a single inventory of assets that becomes the source of truth for every scan, integration and finding across the platform. Surface Monitoring finds the domains, subdomains, IPs and open ports a customer has on the internet, and keeps testing them with payload-based tests. Surface Monitoring also checks subdomains for takeover every 8 hours.[7][8]

Application Scanning crawls and fuzzes custom web apps, including single-page apps and the parts behind login. API Scanning takes an OpenAPI spec or GraphQL schema and tests every operation in it with payload-based tests, including prompt injection on AI endpoints. Both use the same fuzzing engine.[9][10]

Detectify also offers tools for AI. Alfred AI turns published CVEs into payload-based tests, and a Detectify security researcher reviews each one before it goes live. The MCP Server lets Claude Code, Cursor and other AI tools query Detectify findings, scans and assets in plain language, and it is included in every Detectify plan.[14]

Detectify says its research comes from Crowdsource, a community of 400+ ethical hackers, and that 99% of the vulnerabilities it finds have no CVE assigned, based on its own data over the past three years. Detectify says it is used by more than 2,100 organizations, from high-growth SaaS companies to large enterprises and public institutions.[7][8][9][10][11][12][14][15][16]
