The new version includes integrated vulnerability management features to extend the enterprise’s ability to manage, prioritise and control vulnerability threats comprehensively. Version 11 also includes a re-engineered web-based user interface for greater ease-of-use and manageability, providing access to multiple users.

 “Acunetix has for the past 12 years been at the forefront in web application security with its cutting-edge vulnerability scanning technology.

This integration helps security teams gain the intelligence they need to work more efficiently, prioritizing actions, assigning jobs and therefore reducing costs.”

New in Acunetix v11

Inbuilt Vulnerability Management

New integrated vulnerability management features allow for the review of aggregated vulnerability data across all Targets, prioritizing security risks and therefore providing a clear view of the business’ security posture, while facilitating compliance.

New inbuilt vulnerability management features include:

• All Targets (web applications to scan) are now stored in Acunetix with their individual settings and can be easily re-scanned.

• Targets are displayed in one interface and classified by business criticality, allowing you to easily focus on the most important assets.

• Vulnerabilities can also be prioritized by the Target’s business criticality.

• Consolidated reports are stored in the central interface.

• Users can choose between “Target reports”, “Scan reports” or “All Vulnerabilities” report.

Web-based user interface

The user interface has been re-engineered from the ground up for greater usability and manageability. The minimalist design focuses on the most widely used and important features, doing away with extras which cluttered the screen. Since the interface is now web-based, multiple users can access it from their browser irrespective of the OS used.

Role-based multi-user system

Acunetix Version 11 allows the creation of multiple user accounts, which can be assigned a particular group of targets. Depending on the privileges assigned to the user, the user can create, scan, and report on the targets assigned to him.This is particularly important for large enterprises, which require multiple users to help secure their assets.
