Audit your web site security with Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner

If web applications are not secure, then your entire database of sensitive information is at serious risk. Why?

Websites and related web applications must be available 24 x 7 to provide the required service to customers, employees, suppliers and other stakeholders

Firewalls and SSL provide no protection against web application hacking, simply because access to the website has to be made public

Web applications often have direct access to backend data such as customer databases and, hence, control valuable data and are much more difficult to secure

Custom applications are more susceptible to attack because they involve a lesser degree of testing than off-the-shelf software

Hackers prefer gaining access to the sensitive data because of the immense pay-offs in selling the data.

Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner (WVS) is an automated web application security testing tool that audits your web applications by checking for exploitable hacking vulnerabilities. Automated scans may be supplemented and cross-checked with the variety of manual tools to allow for comprehensive web site and web application penetration testing.

In depth checking for SQL Injection, Cross Site Scripting (XSS) and Other Vulnerabilities

Acunetix checks for all web vulnerabilities including SQL injection, Cross site scripting and others. SQL injection is a hacking technique which modifies SQL commands in order to gain access to data in the database. Cross site scripting attacks allow a hacker to execute a malicious script on your visitor’s browser.

Detection of these vulnerabilities requires a sophisticated detection engine. Paramount to web vulnerability scanning is not the number of attacks that a scanner can detect, but the complexity and thoroughness with the scanner launches SQL injection, Cross Site scripting and other attacks. Acunetix has a state of the art vulnerability detection engine which quickly finds vulnerabilities with a low number of false positives. It also locates CRLF injection, Code execution, Directory Traversal, File inclusion and Authentication vulnerabilities.

AcuSensor Technology – identify more vulnerabilities with less false positives

Allowing you to identify more vulnerabilities than a traditional black box Web Application Scanner and generating less false positives, Acunetix AcuSensor Technology combines black box scanning techniques with feedback from sensors placed inside the source code while source code is being executed.

The advantages of AcuSensor Technology are many. These include: locating and fixing a vulnerabilities faster, whilst providing more information about each vulnerability, such as source code line number, stack trace and affected SQL query; it also checks for web application configuration problems, such as misconfiguration of web.config or php.ini files; detects many more SQL injection vulnerabilities without depending on web server error messages; and many more.
