Acunetix

Acunetix enables you to quickly and efficiently secure your websites and web applications while making it easy to manage identified vulnerabilities. It consists of the following components: Acunetix features an easy-to-use web interface that allows multiple users to access Acunetix from a standard web browser. After logging in, users are directed to the dashboard, which provides an impressive overview of the organization’s asset security. The dashboard offers a summary view of your web asset security statistics, including:

  • Total unresolved vulnerabilities, broken down by severity level
  • Total number of defined targets
  • Total number of completed scans
  • Total number of ongoing scans
  • Total number of queued scans
  • Top 5 most vulnerable targets
  • Top 5 reported vulnerabilities
  • Trend charts showing month-by-month trends for the past 12 months for:

You can configure targets once and scan them periodically. Acunetix tracks the security status of each target by collecting and monitoring identified vulnerabilities for that target. All vulnerabilities identified by Acunetix are displayed on a single page, making it easy to prioritize vulnerabilities across the entire organization. Vulnerabilities can be filtered  to show only relevant items, or grouped based on vulnerability severity or the business criticality assigned to each target. Acunetix makes it easy to review the results of ongoing or completed scans. New scans can be configured to run immediately or according to a scheduled timetable. Reports can be generated for targets, scans, or a set of vulnerabilities.
Web Scanner
The web scanner launches an automated security audit of a website. A website security scan typically consists of two stages:

  1. Crawling – Using Acunetix DeepScan, Acunetix automatically analyzes and crawls the website to build its structure. The crawling process enumerates all files, folders, and inputs, which is essential to ensure your entire website is scanned.
  2. Scanning – Acunetix runs a series of web vulnerability checks against each component in your web application—essentially simulating a hacker. The scan results include comprehensive details of all vulnerabilities found on the website.

AcuSensor Technology

Acunetix’s AcuSensor is a unique technology that allows you to identify more vulnerabilities than a traditional black-box web security scanner and is designed to further reduce false positives. In addition, it pinpoints the exact line of code where the vulnerability was found. This increased accuracy is achieved by combining black-box scanning techniques with interactive code analysis while the source code is running. For Acunetix AcuSensor to work, an agent must be installed on your website to enable communication between Acunetix and AcuSensor. AcuSensor can be used with PHP, JAVA, and .NET web applications.

AcuMonitor Technology

Some vulnerabilities can only be identified using an intermediary service. Acunetix AcuMonitor allows Acunetix to detect such vulnerabilities. Depending on the vulnerability, AcuMonitor can report it immediately during the scan or send an email notification directly to the user if the vulnerability is detected after the scan has completed.

Reporter

The Reporter feature allows you to generate reports for scans, targets, and all identified vulnerabilities. Various report templates are available, including executive summaries, detailed reports, and a wide range of compliance reports in Acunetix Premium.
