As many as 70% of websites have vulnerabilities that could lead to the theft of sensitive corporate data such as credit card information and customer lists. Hackers are concentrating their efforts on web-based applications - shopping carts, forms, login pages, dynamic content, etc. Accessible 24/7 from anywhere in the world, insecure web applications provide easy access to backend corporate databases and also allow hackers to perform illegal activities using the compromised site.

Acunetix  checks for all web vulnerabilities including SQL injection, Cross site scripting (XSS) & many others. SQL injection is a hacking technique which modifies SQL queries in order to gain access to data in the database. XSS 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 which the scanner launches SQL injection, XSS & other attacks.

Acunetix has pioneered the web application security scanning technology: Its engineers focused on web security as early as 1997 and developed an engineering lead in website analysis and vulnerability detection.  Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner includes many innovative features:

	Innovative AcuSensor Technology that allows accurate scanning with low false positives, by combining black box scanning techniques with feedback from its sensors placed inside the source code.
	An automatic JavaScript analyzer allowing for security testing of Ajax and Web 2.0 applications.

Web application attacks, launched on port 80/443, go straight through the firewall, past the OS & network level security, and right into the heart of your application & corporate data. Tailor-made web apps are often insufficiently tested, have undiscovered vulnerabilities & are therefore easy prey for hackers. Find out if your website is secure before hackers download sensitive data, commit a crime using your website as a launch pad, & endanger your business. Acunetix crawls your website, automatically analyzes your web apps & finds vulnerabilities that expose your business. Concise reports identify where web applications need to be fixed, thus enabling you to protect your business from impending hacker attacks!
