SubdomainWatch vs Legacy Security Tools
See how SubdomainWatch compares to traditional external attack surface management (EASM), historical passive DNS databases, and broad vulnerability scanners.
Stops Orphans Pre-Merge
While traditional scanners only alert after vulnerable records deploy to public DNS, SubdomainWatch blocks dangling DNS in Terraform pull requests.
Zero False Positives
Passive DNS tools record text strings. SubdomainWatch conducts bounded, safe active slice probes across 20+ cloud provider fingerprints to verify real vulnerability.
