Fortify Applications

detectHub

Most application risk registers are ranked by a scanner score nobody has validated. Fortify Applications runs detectHub continuously against your real external surface, proving which findings are genuinely exploitable and containing those first.

The vector

Applications are the surface an adversary can reach without any credential at all. They are also the surface that changes most often, which is why a yearly test and a quarterly scan produce a register that is simultaneously enormous and out of date.

01

An Attack Surface That Grew Overnight

Shadow subdomains, abandoned storage buckets, exposed API endpoints, and forgotten staging environments appear between annual tests and are indexed by adversaries long before a defender maps them.

02

Severity Scores Without Exploitability

A CVSS 9.8 behind three mitigating controls outranks a CVSS 6.1 that leads straight to production data, so remediation effort is spent in the wrong order.

03

Point-in-Time Testing

An annual penetration test certifies the application as it stood on one day of the year, while releases ship every week.

How d2defence fortifies it

detectHub emulates current adversary tradecraft against your live external surface, continuously. Each finding carries execution proof, so the register is ordered by what an attacker can actually do rather than by what a scanner scored. Where engineering cannot ship a fix the same day, the Autonomous AI Engine contains the exposure at the edge and re-tests automatically on the next commit.

Capabilities

  • Continuous attack surface mapping of shadow domains, exposed endpoints, cloud storage, and leaked certificates
  • Safe, non-destructive exploit validation that proves real-world impact without risking production
  • Proof-of-exploit reporting with execution evidence, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and copy-paste remediation
  • Application vulnerability containment through virtual patching and edge rules while engineering ships the real fix
  • Automatic regression re-testing the moment a commit lands or a firewall rule changes

What changes operationally

The remediation queue shortens because unexploitable findings stop competing for attention. Security and engineering argue less, because "exploitable" is now a demonstrated fact with a recording attached rather than a disputed opinion. And the window between a risky deploy and its discovery closes from months to the next test cycle, which runs continuously.
