How Factorial Scaled Security Coverage While Their Infrastructure Exploded

As fast-growing companies expand their cloud footprint, their attack surface grows faster than their security teams can keep up. Factorial faced this exact challenge: their external infrastructure was expanding daily, but they needed visibility to stay ahead of growth, not trail behind it.

Discover how Factorial's engineering team partnered with ProjectDiscovery to build continuous, transparent security coverage across a broad and dynamic environment—and why they chose alignment over features.

Key Takeaways

Visibility beats volume

The critical metric isn't how many issues you find; it's how quickly you find them

Technical teams want transparency

Engineers chose ProjectDiscovery because they could see exactly how scanning works and extend it with their own templates

Coverage scales with infrastructure

Automated, continuous scanning eliminates the maintenance burden of home-grown solutions

Peace of mind has real business value

Security teams stop managing infrastructure and start doing security

The Outcome

"I know that if I have something, I will find out as soon as physically possible."
Factorial's Engineering Manager of Security

Factorial now runs automated scans across its full external footprint daily. Coverage is broader and more consistent than they could maintain alone. Their bug bounty program and researchers focus on novel, high-value work instead of toil.
