About

Invicti Security, formerly known as Netsparker, operates as a leading provider of automated web application security testing solutions. The platform specializes in identifying vulnerabilities across web applications, APIs, and web services through advanced scanning technology. Invicti has established itself as a trusted solution for organizations seeking comprehensive application security testing capabilities.

The platform's core strength lies in its proof-based scanning technology, which automatically confirms identified vulnerabilities to eliminate false positives. This approach enables security teams to focus on genuine threats rather than investigating potential false alarms. The solution supports both dynamic application security testing (DAST) and interactive application security testing (IAST) methodologies.

Key features include automated crawling of complex web applications, support for modern web technologies including Single Page Applications (SPAs), and integration with popular development and security tools. The platform can scan applications built with various frameworks and technologies, including JavaScript-heavy applications and those requiring authentication. Advanced reporting capabilities provide detailed vulnerability information with remediation guidance.

Invicti serves enterprises, government agencies, and organizations across multiple industries that require robust web application security testing. Development teams integrate the platform into CI/CD pipelines for continuous security testing throughout the software development lifecycle. Security professionals use the solution for compliance requirements and regular security assessments.

The platform distinguishes itself through its ability to handle complex authentication scenarios and modern web applications that traditional scanners often struggle with. Integration capabilities extend to popular development tools, ticketing systems, and security orchestration platforms. This connectivity enables seamless workflow integration for development and security teams.

Within the broader cybersecurity landscape, Invicti addresses the critical need for application security testing as organizations increasingly rely on web-based applications. The solution complements other security tools by focusing specifically on application-layer vulnerabilities that network-based security solutions may not detect. As part of the shift-left security approach, the platform enables early vulnerability detection in the development process.
