Main Features
Proof-Based Scanning
Invicti's standout feature is its "Proof-Based Scanning," which attempts to exploit identified vulnerabilities to confirm their existence. This drastically reduces false positives, a common pain point in vulnerability scanning. By providing concrete evidence of a vulnerability, Invicti helps security teams prioritize remediation efforts effectively, saving time and resources. This leads to more efficient vulnerability management and a stronger security posture.
DAST Focus with Integrated Security Testing
While primarily a DAST tool, Invicti integrates with SAST, IAST, and SCA solutions. This provides a more holistic view of application security. By combining dynamic and static analysis, organizations can identify vulnerabilities across the entire software development lifecycle. This integrated approach enhances vulnerability detection capabilities and ensures comprehensive coverage.
Automated Scanning
Invicti offers robust automated scanning capabilities, enabling users to schedule and run scans without manual intervention. This is particularly beneficial for integrating security testing into CI/CD pipelines. Automated scanning ensures that applications are continuously monitored for vulnerabilities, reducing the risk of deploying vulnerable code to production. This automation streamlines the security testing process.
API Security Scanning
With the increasing reliance on APIs in modern applications, Invicti's support for scanning REST, SOAP, and GraphQL APIs is crucial. This feature allows organizations to identify vulnerabilities in their APIs, protecting sensitive data and ensuring the security of their applications. Comprehensive API scanning is essential for maintaining a strong security posture in today's API-driven landscape.
Comprehensive Reporting
Invicti generates detailed reports that can be used to demonstrate compliance with various security standards, including PCI DSS, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and OWASP Top 10. These reports provide a clear overview of the organization's security posture and help meet regulatory requirements. The reporting features save time and effort in demonstrating compliance.
