Deepinfo vs. Detectify.
Detectify is application security testing, DAST applied to assets you already know about, with strong test coverage on the targets you point it at. Deepinfo discovers the assets Detectify can only test (subdomains, forgotten apps, third-party-hosted infrastructure) and monitors the threat landscape around them. The two are often sold alongside each other rather than against.
Discovery and monitoring vs. application testing.
Detectify's strength is application-layer security testing. Point it at a web app and it runs deep DAST analysis, strong coverage on the targets it knows about. The model assumes you already know what to test.
Deepinfo solves the upstream problem: finding the targets in the first place. Continuous discovery across the open internet, monitoring of the threat landscape around your assets, and the broader external-exposure picture that DAST testing assumes as input. The two layers are complementary; many customers run both.
Four places Deepinfo covers what DAST doesn't.
Discovery of assets you didn't know to test.
Detectify tests the apps you point it at. Deepinfo finds the subdomains, forgotten staging environments, third-party-hosted apps, M&A-inherited infrastructure, and shadow IT that never made it into the inventory you would feed Detectify. Most security organizations are missing 20-40% of their external surface; Deepinfo closes that gap before the testing question even arises.
Continuous monitoring across the threat landscape.
Detectify is application testing, not threat monitoring. Deepinfo watches for adversary infrastructure tied to your assets, lookalike domains targeting your brand, leaked credentials surfacing in dark-web channels, and CTI signal correlated with your external surface. The threat layer around the assets, not just the security state of the assets themselves.
Broader exposure beyond the application layer.
Application-layer DAST is one signal in a broader exposure picture. Deepinfo covers Whois, IP-Whois, DNS, SSL, port-scan, HTTP, and web-data signals across every discovered asset, plus CVE matching enriched with EPSS and CISA KEV. The full external posture, not just the OWASP-relevant findings on a known app.
Integrated CTI, BRP, TPRM modules.
Detectify is application security. Deepinfo is application-relevant exposure plus CTI plus BRP plus TPRM, all in one platform. For organizations that want the full external CTEM picture, Detectify covers the application slice while Deepinfo covers the rest.
Detectify is sharp at what it does.
For organizations with a mature DevSecOps practice running deep DAST testing on a defined application portfolio, Detectify's coverage and crowdsourced research model are real strengths. The application-layer testing depth is genuine; we don't replicate it.
Deepinfo and Detectify usually run alongside each other rather than against. Deepinfo discovers the assets and monitors the threat landscape; Detectify tests the applications. The conversation is rarely "which one", it's "which one for which job," with most customers landing on both.
