25 minutes. That’s how long it took to bring high severity security vulnerabilities to Detectify Asset Monitoring customers from the moment they were discovered. On a more technical side, our Security Researchers, led by Tom Hudson, implemented a high priority vulnerability test to detect an Arbitrary File Read in VMware vCenter, and released it into production in this record time.
“Modern attackers use automation to assist them in their endeavours, so getting information to our customers quickly can be the key differentiator in preventing a breach,” said Tom.

How we do it
Detectify is powered by the unique and one-of-a-kind Detectify Crowdsource platform, which enables a network of 250 world’s best ethical hackers, discover and submit vulnerabilities to our bug bounty platform and earn money. Submissions are then assessed by our Security Researchers, built into Detectify products, and rolled out to the customer base. We automate and scale crowdsourced vulnerability knowledge from hackers while supporting the ethical hacking route.
Johanna Ydergård, VP Crowdsource at Detectify:
“Knowledge about vulnerabilities is concentrated in the hands of very few people in the world. You can’t possibly hire them all to your team. Detectify Crowdsource is a unique platform that incentivises ethical hackers with gamification and reward to share the highly sought after vulnerability information and positively impact many businesses.
Even if you have an internal team of security researchers, it is virtually impossible to keep track of all the latest vulnerability information out there. No other automated security company has a crowdsourcing solution of ethical hacker knowledge,” says Johanna.
