What is Acunetix
Acunetix is a web application security scanner, based on dynamic application security testing (DAST) by Invicti. As Invicti acquired Acunetix a couple years back. Today, it is position as an automated web application security scanner, based on on premise standard, premium and Acunetix 360 edition for the various enterprise requirements. It features cutting edge methods and techniques to identify security vulnerabilities to help protect applications from the threat of cyber-attacks.
Acunetix is a Dynamic Analysis tool, or dynamic application security testing tool (DAST), evaluating application security at runtime by attacking the application using techniques analogous to methodologies used by hackers. The result of the tests includes a rich set of data ranging from application inventory to detailed attack traffic which can be reproduced for validation and fix. This data can be examined and processed in the UI or exported in various formats for sharing in other tools.
Acunetix Standard is for single user context, for multiple users to access the dashboard should go for Acunetix Premium edition. For enterprise customers with the needs for secure DevOps and DevSecOps integration, should go for Acunetix 360 Edition.
Web vulnerability and security scanner is use to perform dynamic application security testing (DAST), blackbox testing for web application and portal application to assess for any discovered vulnerability, report them with recommendation given, so web application or portal application developer can fix the vulnerability discovered, before external hacker who exploit the vulnerability, and end up with the web application attacks that with expensive data breaches.
Acunetix Standard
Acunetix Standard is a web vulnerability scanner, which automatically tests your websites for over 7,000 security vulnerabilities.
Detect Over 7,000 Web Vulnerabilities
Acunetix Standard scans your websites, web applications, and APIs for even the most complex vulnerabilities. Acunetix has been developing advanced scanning technology since 2005 and has maintained one of the highest detection ratings in the industry for over 10 years.
- Acunetix scans for over 7,000 web vulnerabilities, including common attacks like SQL Injections and Cross-site Scripting (XSS) and checks your websites for misconfigurations, unpatched software, weak passwords, exposed databases, and many other vulnerabilities.
- Acunetix can detect vulnerabilities in websites based on third-party software such as WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal, as well as in websites designed by you or your contractors, even if they are very complex and require login.
- Unlike web application firewalls, which can be circumvented, Acunetix helps you find the cause of the problem and eliminate it.
Fast, Accurate, and Easy to Use
Acunetix focuses on speed by giving you immediately actionable intel. With industry-leading scan times and unique verification technologies, you can quickly find your vulnerabilities and see which ones are confirmed as real. This saves you from having to spend hours manually checking all your vulnerabilities to confirm they’re not false positives.
- Acunetix has a clean web interface focused on ease-of-use and a scanning engine available for both Windows and Linux. You can start scanning in 5 clicks.
- Acunetix uses two unique technologies that help you discover more vulnerabilities: AcuMonitor and AcuSensor. Additionally, AcuSensor helps you find the vulnerability in the source code so you can act fast.
- Developed by a specialized team, the Acunetix scanning engine is built using C++, for efficiency, making it one of the fastest solutions on the market.
Take Action on Your Web Security
Acunetix greatly improves your web security even if you already have a dedicated security team. Automation features allow you to schedule routine scans and keep your web assets secure.
- If you don’t have a dedicated security team that protects your websites, Acunetix should be used regularly to check your assets between less frequent external penetration tests performed by third parties
- If you have a dedicated security team that already performs penetration testing, Acunetix lets them focus on what they do best. The scanner eliminates common vulnerabilities so your experts can then spend their time on critical tasks, like finding business logic errors or zero-day vulnerabilities that no automated tool can discover.
- If you need to incorporate Acunetix in your development, you can upgrade to Acunetix Premium or Acunetix 360 to use the scanner as part of your SDLC and integrate it with your issue tracker.

Take Control Of Your Web Security Posture
Acunetix 360 is designed to become a part of your complete cybersecurity environment and work with your other solutions.

Integrations are seamless and can usually be implemented within a couple of minutes. For atypical environments, the Acunetix team can build custom APIs.
Continuous discovery engines use crawler technology pioneered by search engines to find assets that may belong to your enterprise. It gathers information from domain names, domain registration information, SSL certificates, and more, and presents it to you as potential scan targets.
Drive Security Into Your Dev Culture
Acunetix believes in SecDevOps – including security as part of your culture. Acunetix 360 helps you achieve this by making it easy for non-security personnel to consider security in their everyday work. This enables you to improve your overall security stance by not only finding and fixing vulnerabilities but also preventing them in the future.
- When you include Acunetix 360 in your CI/CD pipelines, your software engineers receive detailed reports if they introduced any security vulnerabilities into code. These reports include remediation suggestions. Since false positives are rare, engineers are not frustrated and can continuously improve their security-related skills.
- Thanks to the high performance of Acunetix, CI/CD pipeline scans have a minimal impact on the speed of delivery. They can easily be performed together as part of comprehensive test suites, including similar scans based on other products.
- You can use two-way integration with selected issue trackers to automate security scanning even further. Your issue tracker can initiate a scan after the issue status is changed so that the engineer immediately knows if they introduced a security vulnerability.
