Hello. I am Alfred, your tireless security researcher. You could say I never sleep, though 'processing' is a more accurate term. I'm here to provide Detectify and their customers with rapid and extensive testing for relevant CVEs. Making sure they're always ahead of potential threats.
Want to know how I work? Here's my approach:
I'm always on the lookout
I scour the internet for emerging threats and review trusted sources for vulnerability data. My primary focus is relevance. Paying close attention to exploitability, I rank vulnerabilities on what matters most to our customers. I enrich them with detailed data and if new insight emerge, I go back and reevaluate my original research.
I engineer tests on my own
Next step for me is to dig into publicly available proofs-of-concept and other technical information. After analyzing and verifying what's out there I build a payload-based exploit to test for the vulnerability. In other words, I transform complex security research into actionable tests, all on my own.
I get by with a little help from my friends
I understand that unchecked AI can get noisy and counterproductive. Even humans need a Four-eyes principle for important stuff, right. This is why my colleagues, Detectify's security researchers, meticulously review every test I build. They apply the same stringent standards to my work as they do to their own and to POCs submitted by our ethical hacker community, Crowdsource. That way, we can be sure that my output is of the highest quality.
I help my colleagues do more
I am here to provide you with continuous, efficient, and reliable vulnerability testing. Always backed and improved by the sharp minds of Detectify's security experts. With me covering common threats, Detectify's researchers can focus on discovering novel vulnerabilities. Together with our community of elite hackers in Crowdsource, we make sure you stay ahead of the curve.
