COMPARISON/Trusteed vs Detectify

Trusteed vs Detectify: surface scanning vs proving impact

Detectify scans the external web surface. Trusteed keeps that surface in a research workspace with source, cloud, and workspace settings, and writes the finding only with evidence of impact.

Find vulnerabilities. Prove their impact.

The short answer

Detectify maps the outside of the app. Trusteed tests the hypothesis and shows the impact.

Detectify is focused on external attack surface and web application scanning, with crowdsourced research behind new tests. That is a strong fit when the outside of the app is the whole job. Trusteed uses the same kind of starting point — what is reachable — then continues: the API under two accounts, the repository, the cloud account, and the workspace suite. The finding keeps the requests and the responses.

The external web surface is the whole scope

Crowdsourced tests of what is on the internet are Detectify’s focus. Choose Trusteed when that scan has to sit next to the repository, the cloud account, or the workspace, and the finding has to show impact.
