Invicti Security
Invicti helps enterprises eliminate false-positive vulnerabilities through proof-based application security scanning.
Invicti Security is an application security platform that unifies DAST, SAST, IAST, SCA, API security, secrets scanning, and container security to help enterprises identify and remediate vulnerabilities across their application portfolio. The platform's core differentiator is proof-based scanning, which safely exploits potential vulnerabilities to confirm they are real and exploitable, achieving 99.98% accuracy and eliminating alert fatigue. Invicti serves over 3,600 organizations globally across banking, healthcare, government, and technology sectors.
Problem solved
Security teams waste significant time triaging false-positive vulnerability alerts from traditional scanning tools instead of focusing on real, exploitable security issues.
Target customer
Enterprise organizations with complex application portfolios requiring comprehensive application security testing across multiple architectures, languages, and platforms. Ideal for security teams managing SDLC integration and DevSecOps pipelines.

Competitors
Veracode
Broader SAST-focused platform with premium pricing; Invicti more cost-effective for DAST-only use cases.
Checkmarx
SAST-first approach; Invicti typically more cost-effective for pure DAST scanning needs.
Burp Suite Enterprise
More manual penetration testing focused; Invicti emphasizes automation and proof-based accuracy.
Acunetix
Invicti merged with Acunetix in 2018; now unified platform with broader capabilities.
Why this matters: Invicti pioneered proof-based web application security scanning and has scaled to $625M in funding, establishing itself as a leader in eliminating false-positive vulnerability alerts. With 3,600+ customers and a unified platform spanning DAST, SAST, and multiple security domains, it represents the consolidation trend in application security and is well-positioned in the growing ASPM category.
Best for: Enterprise security teams that need to eliminate alert fatigue and focus remediation efforts on real, exploitable vulnerabilities across complex application portfolios.
Use cases
Enterprise API Security Scanning
A financial services organization uses Invicti to continuously scan critical payment processing APIs for vulnerabilities. Proof-based scanning confirms exploitability, reducing false positives by 95% and allowing security teams to prioritize real risks affecting millions in transactions.
DevSecOps Pipeline Integration
A technology company integrates Invicti into their CI/CD pipeline to automatically scan web applications and APIs on every deployment. The platform's accuracy eliminates noisy alerts that would otherwise slow down development cycles, enabling faster secure releases.
Multi-Language Application Security
A healthcare organization with applications built in Java, .NET, Node.js, and Python uses Invicti's black-box DAST approach to perform unified security scanning without requiring code access or per-language agents, simplifying security operations across technical stacks.
Alternatives
Veracode
Choose Veracode for comprehensive SAST-first security testing if budget allows premium pricing and you need deeper code-level analysis.
Checkmarx
Choose Checkmarx if you prioritize static analysis and software composition analysis over dynamic black-box testing.
Burp Suite Enterprise
Choose Burp Suite for more manual penetration testing capabilities if your team prefers interactive testing over fully automated scanning.
