Overview

Acunetix automates web application and API security testing by discovering assets, assessing risk with AI, detecting vulnerabilities, and integrating with development workflows. It offers proof-based validation, continuous scanning, and code-level traceability to prioritize exploitable risks and streamline remediation.

Updated Jun 29, 2026.

Key Features

AI-Driven Risk Scoring

Utilizes machine learning models to predict risk levels across applications before scanning, enabling prioritization of security efforts.

Seamless Integrations

Integrates with CI/CD pipelines, issue trackers, WAFs, and security tools to automate workflows and deliver validated findings directly to development teams.

AI-Powered Remediation Guidance

Provides developers with clear, proof-backed fix recommendations to reduce remediation time and improve security outcomes.

Continuous and Scalable Testing

Enables ongoing, automated scanning and retesting of fixes to maintain security posture without disrupting development workflows.

Pros

High scanning speed with up to 8x faster scans than competitors.
Very low false positive rate with 99.98% confirmation accuracy.
AI-driven risk scoring and remediation guidance improve prioritization and developer efficiency.
Supports modern web technologies including SPAs, APIs, and LLM-powered services.
Seamless integration with CI/CD, ticketing, and security tools enhances workflow automation.

Cons

Pricing details are not publicly disclosed and require contacting sales for quotes.
Advanced features and integrations may require higher-tier plans and add-ons.
Some capabilities like PCI ASV and dynamic URL scanning are marked as coming soon.
May have a learning curve for configuring complex authentication and scan policies.
On-premises and air-gapped deployment options may have additional setup complexity.

Developer features

Comprehensive Discovery
Automatically identify web applications, APIs, and shadow assets including hidden and undocumented endpoints to maintain an up-to-date inventory.
Deep Vulnerability Detection
Detects over 7,000 vulnerabilities including OWASP Top 10, API-specific issues, and business logic flaws with proof-based validation to eliminate false positives.
Authenticated and Stateful API Testing
Supports complex authentication scenarios, role-based flows, and tests REST, GraphQL, and SOAP APIs with full context across requests.
Code-Level Traceability
Maps vulnerabilities directly to source code correlating DAST findings with SAST and other security signals for deeper insight and faster resolution.
