About

Acunetix stands as one of the leading web application security scanners in the cybersecurity market. The platform specializes in automated vulnerability detection for web applications, delivering high accuracy rates while minimizing false positives that often plague security testing tools.

The scanner provides comprehensive coverage of the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and extends beyond standard security testing. Acunetix identifies SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF), and other critical web application vulnerabilities. The platform supports scanning of modern web technologies including single-page applications (SPAs), JavaScript-heavy sites, and HTML5 applications.

Key capabilities include automated crawling of complex web applications, authentication support for password-protected areas, and integration with popular development tools. The scanner can detect over 7,000 web application vulnerabilities and provides detailed remediation guidance for each identified issue. Advanced features encompass network security scanning, weak password detection, and SSL/TLS configuration analysis.

What distinguishes Acunetix from competitors is its DeepScan technology and AcuSensor integration. DeepScan enables thorough analysis of client-side JavaScript and DOM-based vulnerabilities that traditional scanners often miss. AcuSensor provides Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) capabilities when deployed alongside web applications, offering real-time vulnerability detection during runtime.

Organizations across various industries rely on Acunetix for web application security assessments. Development teams integrate the scanner into CI/CD pipelines for continuous security testing. Security professionals use the platform for compliance auditing, penetration testing preparation, and regular vulnerability assessments of web-facing applications.

The platform serves enterprises, government agencies, and security consulting firms requiring reliable web application security testing. Acunetix fits into broader DevSecOps initiatives by providing API integration capabilities and detailed reporting features. The scanner supports both on-premises and cloud-based deployments, accommodating diverse organizational security requirements and infrastructure preferences.
