Detectify Surface Monitoring vs Outpost24 Attack Surface Management

Detectify Surface Monitoring continuously monitors internet-facing subdomains for exposed files, vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations. It discovers domains, subdomains, IP addresses and ranges, open ports, and running technologies; cloud connectors for AWS, Azure, Cloudflare, and GCP can help locate assets across an external attack surface. Thousands of security tests cover issues such as misconfigurations, XSS, SSRF, and RCE. Teams can define custom rules for particular changes, then filter and tag findings that include remediation tips. The cloud service supports API access, authenticated and browser-based scanning, API testing, and CI/CD integration. Integrations include Jira, Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, OpsGenie, ServiceNow, Splunk, webhooks, GitLab, and GitHub Actions. Detectify says research from a community of more than 400 ethical hackers informs the product, with some findings reaching implementation in as little as 15 minutes. Plans list annual platform fees from free for Starter to €15,000 a year for Enterprise; monitoring costs extra per domain on every plan. A 14-day trial is listed.

Outpost24 Attack Surface Management is a cloud-based service for finding and monitoring an organization’s internet-facing assets. It discovers domains, IP addresses, cloud infrastructure, network hosts, ports, fully qualified domain names, and shadow IT through passive, hybrid, and advanced reconnaissance. Asset discovery does not require agents, credentials, or network access. Continuous scanning, change detection, real-time alerts, and automated monitoring track changes over time. Automated attack-surface scoring and contextual analysis prioritize assets and findings by exposure, impact, and asset criticality. Dashboards, prioritized trackers, risk trends, and remediation-progress tracking support follow-up. Security features include subdomain and look-alike-domain discovery, certificate monitoring, advanced port scanning, customizable alerts, and reporting. Digital risk protection can identify leaked credentials, documents, and information, monitor underground forums, and track unauthorized brand use on social media. The platform offers API access and integrations with Jira, ServiceNow ITSM, Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR, AWS, Microsoft Azure, Axonius, Microsoft Teams, Slack, CSC Domain Manager, and Microsoft Sentinel. It is accessed through a secure browser login, with pricing on request and customized packages.
