In an era where attackers identify vulnerabilities within minutes of exposure, static security can’t keep pace. Research shows that over 70% of organizations have experienced a cyberattack starting with the discovery of an unknown or unmanaged asset. As enterprises scale their AWS environments, they need more than just tools; they need a dynamic, community-powered security ecosystem that adapts as quickly as threats emerge. In this post, we explore how Detectify’s AWS-integrated solution provides the continuous visibility required to close these security gaps before they’re exploited.
Detectify, an AWS Advanced Technology Partner, helps security leaders move beyond point-in-time testing toward a resilient, automated posture that matures alongside their business. By combining Surface Monitoring, Application Scanning, and direct integration with AWS, Detectify’s enterprise solution continuously discovers, tests, and secures external assets. Together, Detectify and AWS help security and IT leaders align business growth and security maturity. This collaboration exemplifies the AWS Shared Responsibility Model in action.
Your organization builds for speed. Modern DevOps pipelines, microservices, and distributed teams have accelerated innovation, but they’ve also made it difficult for security teams to maintain visibility into every internet-facing asset. Shadow IT, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity, and multi-cloud environments only add complexity.
You now manage thousands of domains and web assets, many of which are created and forgotten during rapid development cycles. Traditional security scanning tools often rely on point-in-time tests, missing newly deployed or misconfigured assets between scans. As a result, you face a growing number of unknown vulnerabilities and blind spots where risk accumulates.
This reality demands a shift from reactive, periodic testing to continuous discovery and monitoring. Your security team can no longer rely on static lists; they need a solution that maps the unknown to establish a foundation of control. This is where Detectify excels, moving beyond basic asset management to provide a continuously updated inventory of internet-facing assets, backed by a global community of ethical security researchers who feed real-world exploit knowledge into the service.
Built on AWS, Detectify’s enterprise platform provides an always-on, automated way to identify and prioritize vulnerabilities across the entire attack surface. The solution combines two powerful components:
Detectify’s architecture benefits from the scale, resilience, and flexibility of AWS infrastructure, which means that enterprises can use Detectify to scan global assets at speed without straining internal systems. Beyond identifying risks, we provide detailed remediation guidance for every finding, helping developers fix issues faster. Integrations with Amazon Route 53 to get DNS attack surface data and partner workflows, such as Jira, Slack, and continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, make it straightforward to embed security directly into existing processes.
See how automated classification turns a list of unknown assets into an organized inventory, with specific recommendations on which high-value applications and APIs require deep scanning.

The result: faster detection, fewer blind spots, and a security posture that confidently scales with business growth.
A strong example of Detectify’s enterprise impact is ABC Fitness Solutions, a global leader in fitness software serving over 31,000 gyms and studios across 100 countries and processing nearly USD $11.5 billion in annual payments. Read the full case study to learn more about their security journey.
Like many fast-growing organizations, ABC Fitness expanded through multiple acquisitions, inheriting more than 15 websites and a variety of technology stacks hosted across AWS. Each acquisition brought valuable digital assets but also introduced potential risks: hidden vulnerabilities, outdated technologies, and configuration mismatches. For their security team, gaining visibility across this heterogeneous environment was an essential priority.
To bring order and control to their sprawling digital landscape, ABC Fitness adopted Detectify Enterprise. Quickly, the platform provided a unified view of internet-facing assets, highlighting forgotten domains and technologies in need of consolidation.
Detectify’s Surface Monitoring gave the team a real-time inventory of their external assets, while Application Scanning identified vulnerabilities that posed genuine business risk. Integration with Jira streamlined remediation by automatically converting high-signal vulnerabilities into tickets, so that developers can act without switching tools.
“Using Surface Monitoring identifies what technologies each of our acquisitions has, the versions of those technologies, and if they’re outdated, so we can align as an enterprise.” – Enterprise Security Architect at ABC Fitness
For ABC Fitness, Detectify provided more than visibility, it created a shared language between developers and security teams. Vulnerabilities became actionable tasks, not abstract reports. The result was a faster remediation cycle, stronger compliance readiness, and a consistent global security baseline.

Detectify operates as a continuous, outside-in security layer. By assuming the perspective of a sophisticated attacker, our platform identifies and tests your AWS-hosted assets from the public internet, exactly as a threat actor would, while using AWS connectors to help ensure no asset is left unmapped. Here’s how the joint approach benefits customers:
For AWS Partners, the Detectify story illustrates how collaboration can unlock mutual value: combining AWS’s scale and infrastructure with Detectify’s security expertise to deliver measurable outcomes for joint customers.
For customers, it demonstrates that managing a sprawling attack surface is achievable without adding complexity. By using AWS and Detectify together, organizations gain:
Detectify’s enterprise security solution is available through AWS Marketplace, offering a streamlined path to deployment. Organizations can begin with a comprehensive attack surface assessment and scale seamlessly to continuous security monitoring, while maintaining integration with their existing AWS infrastructure.
