Detectify Surface Monitoring vs Rapid7 Surface Command

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.

Rapid7 Surface Command gives security teams a unified view of internal and external assets across an organization’s digital estate. It discovers assets and builds an inventory, then adds security context and relationships to help assess exposures and potential blast radius. Continuous monitoring and discovery aim to uncover exposed assets across internal and external inventories. Threat intelligence and machine learning correlate security data to prioritize exposures likely to be exploited. The Remediation Hub recommends and tracks prioritized fixes with ownership, SLAs, and workflow integrations. Rapid7 lists over 150 tool integrations, connectors for major tools, and custom connectors for enterprise systems; sources that cannot be reached over the internet require an Orchestrator. The product supports cloud asset inventory, multi-cloud environments, IaC scanning, identity risk analysis, and CI/CD integration. Listed platforms are API, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows, with hybrid deployment and cloud deployment also listed. Pricing is paid, from $1.62/mo, based on the average number of monitored assets. There is no free plan, but a free trial is offered.
