Detectify Uncovers Hidden Assets And Risks Across Entire IP Ranges
Help Net Security, Wednesday, March 25th, 2026
Detectify has launched IP Range Scanning, enabling continuous discovery and monitoring of entire IP address blocks to help security teams identify forgotten assets and hidden risks before attackers exploit them.
Many organizations are sitting on forgotten IP addresses that have become entry points for cyberattacks. While millions have been spent securing public-facing websites, legacy tools can miss large parts of the attack surface due to noise and stale data.
Detectify's research shows how serious this gap is: SSH appeared on non-standard ports nearly as often as on port 22, suggesting that teams that only check standard ports may miss a significant number of exposed services. Additionally, high-risk services such as Redis and MongoDB are often exposed on raw IP addresses without associated domains, leaving them invisible to many traditional tools.
