Summary
Discover how Detectify's hacker-DNA culture, multi-account AWS architecture, and Claude Code on Bedrock helped a lean security team deliver zero-day protection to customers before they even knew they needed it.
Topics Include:
- Haris Kabiljagić leads cloud operations, data, and scanning at Detectify.
- Detectify started in 2013 as a group of ethical hackers in Stockholm.
- The platform continuously scans customers' attack surfaces for exploitable vulnerabilities.
- A global community of elite ethical hackers feeds real-world payloads into the engine.
- Early on, a centralized cloud team caused over 40 service disruptions monthly.
- A multi-account AWS strategy via Control Tower eliminated disruptions entirely.
- The hardest part of decentralizing wasn't technology — it was the culture shift.
- Cloud ops had to evolve from gatekeepers into enablers of secure, fast deployment.
- Detectify's architecture runs on three pillars: scalability, event-driven services, and security.
- MSK and Amazon MQ replaced self-hosted RabbitMQ, enabling true event-driven microservices.
- AWS Security Hub provides a single pane of glass for security posture visibility.
- When the CAPS zero-day hit, Detectify delivered a live test to customers same day.
- Customers logged in braced for panic — and found the threat was already handled.
- AI-assisted development via Claude Code on Bedrock accelerated code migration 30x.
- The team moved from five modules per week to 150, without sacrificing review quality.
- Success is now measured by speed of remediation, not volume of vulnerabilities found.
- A new internal scanner lets customers protect applications before they ever reach production.
- Detectify's roadmap: make security effortlessly native inside the pipelines teams already use.
