ACUNETIX (PRODUCT)

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Acunetix is a comprehensive web application vulnerability scanner that performs in-depth testing of modern, JavaScript-heavy apps, APIs, and traditional web platforms to identify issues such as SQL injection, XSS, and complex logic flaws, all with low false positives through automated verification. It seamlessly integrates into CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous security testing during development and offers compliance reporting for standards such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and OWASP Top 10. Security teams can utilize Acunetix for pre-production assessments, embed it into DevSecOps workflows for early testing, and leverage its API scanning capabilities to secure microservices and GraphQL endpoints that are often missed by traditional scanners.
