Detectify Surface Monitoring

Detectify Surface Monitoring is an automated External Attack Surface Management (EASM) platform engineered to discover, map, and continuously evaluate an enterprise’s entire public-facing digital footprint. In modern distributed cloud infrastructures, development teams frequently spin up new subdomains, staging servers, and temporary cloud services that bypass central IT governance, creating unmonitored shadow IT assets. Detectify Surface Monitoring addresses this challenge by performing autonomous, non-intrusive asset discovery starting from just an organization’s apex domain name. The platform continuously monitors global DNS registries, certificate transparency logs, and IP ranges to catalog every public subdomain, open port, web service, and associated cloud provider. Once assets are mapped, Surface Monitoring scans each endpoint for dangerous exposures such as dangling DNS pointers prone to subdomain takeover, exposed administrative login interfaces, unpatched web software, and data leakage. When new assets or critical exposures emerge, security operations teams receive immediate alerts with contextual remediation guidelines, allowing them to decommission orphaned infrastructure or patch security flaws immediately. By providing continuous, automated external perimeter surveillance, Detectify Surface Monitoring eliminates blind spots and dramatically shrinks an organization’s attack surface.
