Deepinfo vs. Detectify

Detectify suits teams that want payload-based testing of their web applications and of the subdomains under their root domains. Deepinfo suits teams that want to find all internet-facing assets first, then watch the breach data, lookalike domains and vendors around it.

The two work at different layers and can run side by side.

Where Detectify Is Strong.

Payload-based testing is Detectify’s edge.

Detectify checks a finding by sending a test payload and reading the response, and its Crowdsource researchers keep adding new tests. For web applications, that gives a level of validation that technology fingerprinting alone does not.

Deepinfo does not run payload-based tests or DAST scans, and does not try to replicate them.

Find It First, Then Test It.

Detectify tests the subdomains and IP ranges you add. Deepinfo starts one step earlier: from a seed, it follows reverse IP, MX, NS and WHOIS relationships across its own index to surface domains registered by subsidiaries, agencies and acquired companies.

Approved assets are then scanned layer by layer, from WHOIS to HTTP, and each CVE found carries CVSS, EPSS and its CISA KEV status.

Asset Discovery

Who Does What in One Pipeline.

One way to divide the work when your program runs both.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Deepinfo finds domains, subdomains and IPs tied to your organization, including ones outside your known root domains.

    Deepinfo

  2. 02

    Approve

    Your team reviews the discovery queue and approves what belongs in the inventory, by hand or with rules.

    Your team

  3. 03

    Test

    Export the approved web applications through the EASM API and hand them to your application testing tool.

    Detectify

  4. 04

    Watch

    Deepinfo keeps rescanning and sends a notification when a new asset, a new open port or a new vulnerability appears.

What Buyers Ask About Both.

Does Deepinfo run DAST scans?

No. Deepinfo discovers internet-facing assets, scans each one layer by layer and matches the technologies it detects to known CVEs. Payload-based application testing is a job for a DAST tool such as Detectify.

Can Deepinfo feed our application testing?

Yes. The approved inventory is available through the EASM API, so the web applications Deepinfo finds can be handed to whichever testing tool you run.

Detectify discovers subdomains too. What is different?

Surface Monitoring maps the subdomains and IP ranges you give it. Deepinfo also pivots across its index to find related root domains, scans all layers of each asset, and adds breach, lookalike and vendor monitoring on one platform.

What does Deepinfo check on a web application without testing it?

The web data layer fingerprints the technologies on each host, with their versions, and matches them to known CVEs. The HTTP layer reads status codes and response headers. Neither sends an attack payload.

How are findings ranked in each?

Detectify gives each finding a severity. Deepinfo issues carry a severity too, and every CVE also carries its CVSS score, EPSS probability and CISA KEV status side by side, so the queue can start with what attackers are most likely to use.

Can we monitor IP addresses as well as domains?

Yes. Domains, subdomains and IP addresses are all assets in Deepinfo, and each approved one is scanned on every layer, including TCP and UDP ports.
