Acunetix Vulnerability Scanner by Acunetix (Invicti) is a comprehensive web application security testing solution designed to identify and manage security vulnerabilities in websites, web applications, and APIs. It offers built-in vulnerability assessment and management, along with integration options for software development tools. Acunetix Vulnerability Scanner can be used standalone or in complex environments, enhancing cybersecurity and reducing security risks at a low cost. It is an efficient dynamic application security testing (DAST) tool for web vulnerability tests in both physical and virtual environments, with easy integrations. Acunetix Vulnerability Scanner uses a unique scanning algorithm called SmartScan, which can often find 80% of vulnerabilities in the first 20% of the scan. It is known for its low false-positive rate, saving resources during penetration testing and allowing analysts to focus on new vulnerabilities. Acunetix Vulnerability Scanner provides proof of exploit for many vulnerabilities and can be deployed locally on Linux, macOS, and Microsoft Windows, or used as a cloud product. It helps discover web application vulnerabilities, such as SQL Injections and Cross-site Scripting (XSS), as well as other security threats, including web server configuration issues, unprotected assets, malware, and threats listed in OWASP Top 10. Acunetix Vulnerability Scanner integrates with OpenVAS, a network security scanner that discovers open ports and vulnerabilities in network devices, allowing users to manage web and network vulnerabilities from a single dashboard. It also includes vulnerability management tools with historic trends and prioritization, and integrates with popular issue trackers like Atlassian Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Microsoft Team Foundation Server, Bugzilla, and Mantis. Acunetix Vulnerability Scanner enables easy generation of compliance reports for PCI DSS, OWASP Top 10, ISO 27001, and HIPAA. It uses AcuSensor technology for PHP, Java, or.NET to pinpoint security holes and reduce the false positive rate. Acunetix Vulnerability Scanner can scan both legacy web applications and modern web apps using the latest technologies, including JavaScript frameworks like React, Angular, Ember, and Vue. It features an integrated external network vulnerability scanner based on OpenVAS, enabling rapid and continuous scanning for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in application and network layers. Acunetix Vulnerability Scanner allows users to schedule scans at specific times or run them continuously, with quick scans daily and full scans weekly. It offers built-in vulnerability management, prioritization, and reporting features, providing a significant advantage over most vulnerability scanning tools.
