Securing the web applications of today's businesses is perhaps the most overlooked aspect of securing the enterprise. Web application hacking is on the rise with as many as 75% of cyber attacks done at web application level or via the web. Most corporations have secured their data at the network level, but have overlooked the crucial step of checking whether their web applications are vulnerable to attack. Web applications, which often have a direct line into the company's most valuable data assets are online 24/7, completely unprotected by a firewall and therefore easy prey for attackers.
Application Security
Ease of remediation: AcuSensor connects to the code interpreter or compiler (depending on the language) and it can identify the exact line of source code (for PHP) or point to a location in a stack trace (for Java and ASP.NET). With this information, your developers can fix vulnerabilities much faster.
Endpoint Security
Have Acunetix scan the web assets first. Then, react to the findings. The Acunetix engine is one of the fastest and most accurate on the market. Your skilled security resources will be able to focus on more important tasks instead of manually searching for common web vulnerabilities. With Acunetix, you can combat the growing cybersecurity skill gap.
Firewall Security
Acunetix integrates with popular WAFs to automatically create appropriate Web Application Firewall rules to protect web applications against attacks targeting vulnerabilities that the scanner finds. This allows you to temporarily prevent the exploitation of high-severity vulnerabilities until you are able to fix them.
Network Security
Network vulnerability tests should be an integral part of every cybersecurity policy. To check the security of your network services and network devices, you need a dedicated network scanner. Other types of scanning tools, such as web application vulnerability scanners, are not built to detect network security risks. When you introduce a new security tool into the business environment, it may make it more complex to manage your IT security. Luckily, you can find tools that combine a network vulnerability scanner with a web application vulnerability scanner. However, most such tools focus strongly on one area only and cannot provide full security coverage. Acunetix goes beyond what other products can offer by combining the best of both worlds: the best web vulnerability scanner engine, th
Penetration Testing
To effectively assess the state of web application security, businesses need offensive security (ethical hacking) solutions. As part of this approach, you should use an automated web vulnerability scanner and perform manual web penetration testing. Both steps are needed because penetration testers are too valuable to spend time on issues that can be found automatically and vulnerability scanners cannot discover all types of security vulnerabilities (for example, business logic issues). Vulnerability scanners are often considered as pentesting tools because they are used by security professionals in the first stage of a comprehensive web security assessment. Consider using Acunetix as your initial penetration testing tool. Acunetix is renowned for its high performance (engine written in C++
Vulnerability Management
AcuSensor can detect the following vulnerability types with 100% confidence: SQL Injection, Cross-site Scripting, code injection, CRLF injection, directory traversal, arbitrary file creation/deletion, email header injection, file upload, file inclusion, file tampering, PHP code injection, and PHP SuperGlobals overwrite.
Web Application Security
Unlike traditional thick-client applications, which are locked away behind corporate firewalls, web applications are typically accessible from outside corporate networks and potentially open to dangers such as SQL Injection and application-layer denial of service attacks. This makes web application security and web service security a different beast altogether. Moreover, in case of attacks such as Cross-site Scripting, client-side JavaScript source code is right there in the browser for any malicious user to tinker with. With so many threats to sensitive data, it’s no surprise many organizations are seeking tools to help them secure their software development life cycle.
