Detectify vs Indusface

About Indusface

Indusface sells the AppTrana platform for web apps, APIs and AI workloads, and the Indusface WAS platform for DAST scanning and pen-testing. AppTrana connects scanning, WAAP and remediation into one autonomous loop that discovers exposure, tests risk, protects at the edge and proves what is fixed.^[1][2][3]

AppTrana continuously maps an attack surface of web apps, APIs, AI endpoints and shadow assets. AppTrana deployment requires a DNS change and whitelisting of AppTrana NAT IPs. AppTrana is a cloud WAF hosted in AWS. AppTrana supports public cloud, private cloud, on-premise and custom port application deployments. AppTrana protects standard web apps, raw TCP and custom ports whether applications sit on-prem, in cloud or behind any origin. AppTrana delivers traffic through dual tier-1 CDN partners with automatic failover, managed edge caching and TLS optimization. AppTrana forces application traffic through the WAF path and blocks direct-to-origin access.^[3][5][6]

AppTrana maps scanner findings to WAF coverage so teams know which vulnerabilities are already protected at the edge. AppTrana absorbs L3-L7 floods across a 100 Tbps+ distributed global network, backed by 24x7 managed service. AppTrana behavioral DDoS protection adapts to live baselines across users, API clients and AI endpoints. AppTrana combines granular limits across URI, endpoint, IP, session, host, geography and AI workloads with layered mitigation. AppTrana scores every request, session and client for risk and lets a team set the action for each tier, from allow to challenge to block. AppTrana maintains controls for legitimate bots including search crawlers, uptime monitors, SEO tools, partner API clients, internal services and LLM crawlers. AppTrana bills only on clean traffic reaching the origin.^{[2][3][6][7][8][10]}

AppTrana continuously inventories all first-party and third-party JavaScript across a site and runs AI-driven risk analysis on each script. AppTrana monitors scripts inside the user's browser, allows trusted JavaScript to execute and blocks malicious outbound requests before data leaves the browser. AppTrana provides automated JS inventory, integrity checks and unauthorized change alerting on payment pages for requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1. AppTrana's 24x7 managed security team disables malicious scripts near real-time without a code change.^{[5][6][9][10]}

AppTrana discovers documented, shadow, zombie and rogue APIs, then classifies authentication state and PII, PCI and PHI exposure in the same inventory. AppTrana learns methods, paths, parameters and data types from traffic so only legitimate API calls get through. AppTrana API Security finds every API, validates risk and enforces runtime protection with autonomous tuning. AI Shield discovers AI and LLM-backed endpoints, then protects them from prompt injection, abuse and data exposure. DAST tests for prompt injection, insecure output handling, model DoS and other LLM-specific vulnerabilities. Token-based rate limits prevent denial-of-wallet abuse where attackers run up an inference bill.^[10][11]

SwyftComply gives every finding an AI-generated virtual patch that is expert-validated before enforcement, and delivers an audit-ready report in under 72 hours. Multi-model AI agents scan applications for business-logic vulnerabilities, reasoning about specific workflows, not just signature matching. Indusface security experts review every finding, classify severity and map each finding to a compliance framework before policy work begins. AI agents autonomously apply SwyftComply Policy Engine templates to an application, and experts create bespoke policies for business logic not covered yet. Virtual patches are tested against real traffic, and policies are promoted to block mode after expert validation.^{[1][2][3][5][12][13]}

Indusface WAS crawls web applications, identifies attack surfaces and simulates malicious requests to detect vulnerabilities such as SQLi, XSS and broken authentication. Indusface WAS includes a DAST scanner for application and infrastructure vulnerabilities and a malware scanner that checks for defacements. Indusface WAS supports graybox scans that use various credentials including user and admin. In all paid plans, Indusface WAS gives access to unlimited scans. Complementary pen-testing and one revalidation are provided as part of Indusface WAS Premium plans. Expert-led penetration testing covers REST, SOAP, GraphQL, WebSocket and AI/LLM API endpoints. Mobile app penetration testing includes more than 150 assessments across iOS, Android and hybrid platforms.^[1][4][13]

AI monitors attacks and tests policy changes 24x7, and a named security expert validates, tunes and patches within SLA when exceptions need a human call. The same managed services team onboards and tunes each AppTrana capability, from WAF and API security to bot and DDoS protection and AI Shield. A proprietary AI model tests policy changes against an app during onboarding and after each rule update, and Indusface experts review the exceptions. Every AppTrana plan includes advanced bot defense, full API security and unlimited managed services, and enterprise buyers get a named TAM with quarterly business reviews.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6][8][10][11][13]}
