Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner

Business Profile

Core Value Proposition

Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner provides blazing-fast DAST for web applications and APIs, with AI-powered Predictive Risk Scoring, auto-verification of vulnerabilities, and remediation guidance to accelerate secure development.

Target Customer

Security professionals and development teams responsible for securing websites, web applications, and APIs in enterprises, including CTOs, CISOs, engineering managers, security engineers, and DevSecOps practitioners.

Key Differentiator

Proprietary Predictive Risk Scoring AI model (200+ features, 83% confidence) to prioritize assets before scanning, plus 99.98% accuracy in auto-verifying vulnerabilities and the ability to detect 7,000+ vulnerabilities across SPAs, script-heavy sites, and complex paths, all within an integrated DAST/IAST ecosystem with CI/CD and WAF integrations.

Implementation Timeline

Customers can see actionable results in minutes and can schedule continuous vulnerability scans to monitor security over time; high-priority results can be identified before scans finish (90% of results before halfway completion).

Pain Points

1Time-consuming vulnerability discovery, research, triage, and remediation tasks for web apps and APIs
2High false positives and noise slowing down remediation
3Difficulty prioritizing which vulnerabilities to fix first and coordinating with development teams

Key Features

1Discover & Crawl: automatically lists all websites, applications, and APIs and keeps them up to date; can crawl SPAs and script-heavy sites
2Predictive Risk Scoring: AI/ML-based risk score for assets with 220+ parameters to prioritize remediation before scanning
3Vulnerability Detection: detects 7,000+ vulnerabilities (including OWASP Top 10) and over 12,000+ vulnerabilities overall
4Auto-Verification & Remediation Guidance: proof-based scanning with 99.98% accuracy; pinpoints exact code locations and provides remediation guidance
5Integrations & Continuous Security: integrates with CI/CD, issue trackers, WAF; supports scheduled continuous scans across multiple environments; applicable for ongoing DevSecOps workflows
6Technologies: AcuSensor and AcuMonitor technologies; IAST compatibility; supports cross-language/framework scanning
