Medium Business:
Growing Organizations & Mid-Market Companies
For established teams with 100–500+ internet-facing assets across multiple cloud providers, on-prem infrastructure, and remote sites. You may have growing compliance obligations (SOC 2 readiness, PCI DSS for payment flows, or HIPAA-adjacent data handling) and need visibility that scales beyond basic scanning. Your infrastructure changes frequently — new services spin up, cloud accounts multiply, and forgotten assets accumulate faster than manual audits can catch.
Your Scenario
- 100–500+ internet-facing assets across AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-prem
- Growing compliance expectations (SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA readiness)
- Multiple engineering teams deploying services independently — asset sprawl is real and accelerating
- Main risk is unknown exposure across a complex, multi-cloud footprint that changes faster than quarterly reviews can track
What you actually need
An attack surface management platform that can handle organizational scale:
- Discovers assets across multiple cloud providers and on-prem ranges automatically
- Maps internet-facing assets back to your organization, not just IPs you already know about
- Surfaces new exposures within hours, not weeks — your attack surface changes daily
- Provides payload-based web app testing beyond basic port scanning
- Integrates with your existing ticketing, SIEM, and vulnerability management workflows
Medium Business Attack Surface Management Providers
Best Choice
Detectify: Best for growing mid-market teams. Combines external attack surface management with payload-based DAST powered by a crowdsourced ethical hacker community. Surface Monitoring discovers and classifies assets across your internet-facing footprint, while Application Scanning uses real hacker-vetted payloads to test web apps and APIs with low false positives.
- Starting Price: ~€82/mo base (Surface Monitoring add-on from ~$302/mo total for up to 25 assets)
- Surface Monitoring: from ~$302/mo (up to 25 internet-facing assets)
- Per asset: ~$12.08/mo (based on 25-asset Surface Monitoring)
- Base plans scale from Starter (5 users) to Enterprise (unlimited)
- Crowdsourced ethical hacker community for payload-based web app testing
- EASM + DAST in a single platform — discover assets and test them
- API scanning for REST & GraphQL endpoints
- Asset classification and attack surface mapping
- Integrations via standard recipe templates (Professional+ for full integrations)
- MCP Server for AI-driven security workflows
Pros
Crowdsourced payload-based testing produces low false-positive rates — tests are vetted by real ethical hackers. Combines EASM with DAST, reducing tool sprawl for mid-market teams. API scanning covers REST and GraphQL. MCP server enables AI-augmented security workflows. Agentless, no software to deploy.
Cons
No organizational entity mapping or supply chain tracing — you need to tell it what you own. Surface Monitoring is an add-on on top of base plans, so total cost is higher than the starter price suggests. IP range scanning and internal scanning require Professional tier and above. Full integrations gated behind Professional plan. Single sign-on only available on Enterprise tier.
Details
Starter plan from ~€82/mo base, Surface Monitoring add-on from ~$302/mo for up to 25 assets. Standard plan adds professional support and more onboarding. Professional plan adds unlimited users, SSO, full integrations, and internal scanning. Enterprise adds dedicated CSM and custom terms. Annual billing available. Available on AWS Marketplace.

ProjectDiscovery Cloud: Commercial platform built on Nuclei and Subfinder. The Neo platform brings autonomous AI agents to vulnerability management — continuous testing of web apps, APIs, pull requests, and cloud assets. Built on the widely-adopted open-source Nuclei scanner with 100k+ security professionals in the community.
- Starting Price: $0.00 (Free tier, 10 new domains/month, monthly scans)
- Pay-as-you-go (Neo): from $250 (credit-based system)
- Enterprise: Custom quote (annual contract)
- Per asset (AWS Marketplace): ~$30/asset/yr (Nuclei-based scanning)
- Built on Nuclei, Subfinder, HTTPx, Naabu — battle-tested open-source tools
- Neo AI agents for autonomous pentesting, PR review, and backlog management
- Continuous testing across web apps, APIs, cloud, and third-party integrations
- Verified findings with runtime validation to reduce false positives
- Isolated sandbox execution for safe validation
- 100k+ security professionals in the open-source community
Pros
Excellent asset discovery powered by Subfinder and HTTPx, maps what attackers can actually see. Massive open-source template library (Nuclei) with community contributions. Neo AI agents automate pentesting workflows that would otherwise require dedicated security engineers. Credit-based pricing means you only pay for what you use. Free tier available for small-scale discovery.
Cons
False-negative rates vary with community template quality — not all Nuclei templates are equally maintained. Pricing varies significantly across channels (AWS Marketplace vs direct vs G2). Free plan is limited to 10 domains/month and monthly scans, insufficient for medium business cadence. Enterprise pricing is opaque — you need to talk to sales. Credit-based model can be unpredictable for teams with variable scanning needs.
Details
Pay-as-you-go Neo plan starts at $250 in credits. Free tier: 10 new domains/month, monthly scans, up to 5 team members. Enterprise includes unlimited team members, SSO/SAML, dedicated support, and custom SLAs. AWS Marketplace pricing at ~$30/asset/yr. Neo credit usage varies by intelligence level (Standard vs Maximum). Verify current pricing at projectdiscovery.io.

Censys ASM: Enterprise-grade internet-wide visibility. Censys scans the entire internet continuously and can map your organization's exposure with unmatched breadth — discovering assets up to 6× faster than traditional ASM tools. Best suited for organizations that need the most comprehensive view of their internet-facing footprint and have the operational capacity to act on it.
- Starting Price: Enterprise custom quote (~$60K–$93K/yr observed)
- Pricing model: Annual enterprise contract, custom-scoped
- Per asset: N/A (enterprise custom pricing based on organizational scope)
- No free tier, no self-service plans

Pros
Unmatched internet-wide data collection — scans the entire internet, not just domains you provide. Discovers assets on nonstandard ports, self-signed certificates, and even residential networks. Censys ARC research provides real-time threat intelligence on active exploitation. Integrates with existing SIEM, ticketing, and VM platforms. Delta alerts catch new exposures within hours.
Cons
Enterprise-only pricing with no self-service option — contracts observed at $60K–$93K/yr. Requires significant configuration to attribute discovered assets to your organization, not plug-and-play. Needs complementary tooling to act on findings — Censys shows you what's exposed but doesn't test or remediate. Overkill for organizations under 500 assets. No free tier or trial for ASM product.
Details
Enterprise-only annual contracts, no self-service or free tier for ASM. Pricing observed at ~$60K/yr (UK gov) to ~$93K/yr (AWS Marketplace). Requires organizational scoping and configuration. Best paired with a DAST or VM platform for testing and remediation workflows. Censys Search (community) is available for ad-hoc queries. Verify current pricing at censys.com.

For medium businesses managing 100–500+ internet-facing assets, the choice depends on whether you need testing or just visibility. Detectify is our Best Choice for this tier because it combines EASM discovery with crowdsourced DAST in a single platform — you find assets and test them with payloads vetted by real ethical hackers, at a price point that scales reasonably for mid-market teams. ProjectDiscovery Cloud is a strong alternative if you already have Nuclei expertise and want AI-augmented testing workflows. Censys ASM offers the most comprehensive internet-wide visibility but requires enterprise budget and complementary tooling to act on findings.
