Introducing Detectify Internal Scanning for internal scanning behind the firewall

TL;DR

• We’re launching Internal Scanning, bringing our proprietary security engines, research-led crawling and fuzzing engine for internal vulnerability scanning behind your firewall.
• Built by Detectify’s own DevOps for your AppSec teams.
• Offers frictionless agent-based deployment to secure your internal attack surface, now possible to view both internal and external vulns in one unified platform. 

Detectify Internal Scanning is an internal vulnerability scanning solution that brings Detectify’s proprietary crawling and fuzzing engine behind your firewall. Built for AppSec and DevOps teams, it enables authenticated testing of internal applications, admin panels, staging environments, and microservices, all from a single, unified platform. Teams can now monitor both internal and external vulnerabilities side by side, without slowing down release cycles.

Security teams have long operated under the assumption that the internal network is a safe zone, fortifying the external perimeter while leaving internal applications, admin panels, HR databases, and staging environments, essentially untested without opening the internal network.

But the reality of modern infrastructure is different. Between phishing, compromised employee endpoints, and the explosion of east-west microservice traffic, an untested internal app is an open invitation for lateral movement. 

Security that shifts with your code

We are launching Detectify Internal Scanning, bringing our proprietary, research-led scanning engine behind your firewall. For the first time, you can secure your entire attack surface, internal and external, from a single, unified platform.

Security teams can now leverage Detectify’s proprietary crawling and fuzzing engine, fueled by world-class assessments from its Crowdsource community of 400+ elite ethical hackers, Alfred AI, and internal researchers, to assess both the internal and external attack surface. 

Built by DevOps, for AppSec teams

We know that security often feels like a bottleneck. That’s why Internal Scanning was engineered by our own DevOps team to support Confident Scale without slowing down your release cycle:

Our approach is different. We’ve built an architecture that is as fluid as the code it protects. By decoupling the scanner from the environment, security teams can now trigger scans where your developers already live. Internal Scanning shouldn’t mean slowing down your releases. 

• Frictionless Deployment: Our internal scanning package is a securely designed Kubernetes cluster. It’s self-contained with license keys and secure access to our private Docker registry-encrypted in transit and at rest.
• Scalability & short-lived triggering. Our cloud agnostic architecture supports massive parallel execution. Whether you are scanning 10 assets or 10,000, the system auto-scales instantly to eliminate scanning bottlenecks. With short lived triggering, move away from dedicated scan servers. Spin up a lightweight scanner agent on-the-fly inside a build container, execute the test, and shut it down the moment it’s done.
• Deep Authenticated Scanning: With Detectify’s recorded login, you can perform deep-level crawling and fuzzing behind valid credentials, ensuring your internal apps are tested exactly how an authenticated attacker would see them.

What this means for security teams

Visibility is just the beginning. By bringing Detectify into the internal network, AppSec and DevOps teams gain:

• Complete access to the internal network, with Detectify’s proprietary crawling and fuzzing engine, fueled by world-class assessments from its Crowdsource community of 400+ elite ethical hackers, Alfred AI, and internal researchers, into the private network. Unifying both the internal and external attack surface protection onto one single platform. 
• A unified view: Monitor both your external and internal attack surface within a single, intuitive interface. Findings are automatically synced to the main Detectify dashboard, appearing alongside your external vulnerabilities for a single source of truth. 
• Precision filtering: Drill down instantly into vulnerability types, severity levels, or specific asset groups. The data, you need to act, is always one click away.
• The Castle and Moat Cure: We move you toward a Zero Trust model. Just because an application is only reachable by certified users doesn’t mean it’s safe. We find the vulnerabilities that attackers use for lateral movement.
• Proactive Staging Protection: Scan your apps in QA or staging before they ever hit production. If our engine finds a critical vulnerability, you can stop the build instantly.
• Compliance Readiness: Since 2025, frameworks like PCI DSS mandate internal scanning for payment environments. Detectify helps fulfill these requirements allowing you to set risk levels and even stop non-compliant deployments automatically.

By combining Internal Scanning with other Detectify products, security teams at fast scaling and businesses can manage both their internal and external attack surface more efficiently, turning security into a driver for efficiency. 

Get started

To see how it can help your team protect both your internal (and external) attack surface in one place, book a demo or get in touch. 

Internal Scanning is now available in the Detectify platform. It utilizes our proprietary security engines, as well as our Crowdsource community of 400+ ethical hackers, allowing you to crawl and fuzz to give you the same low noise, high confidence, payload-based results you already trust for your external attack surface.
