Automating Web Application Security Services

To meet the growing needs of their clients, continue to detect web vulnerabilities such as SQL injections, and be more efficient while providing excellent service to their clients, the Layers-7 team of experts needed to automate web application security.

They needed an automated web application security scanner that:

Would be quick and reliable;
Could test websites running on the Apache web server;
Detects vulnerabilities in web applications built on PHP, .NET, and Java;
Generates industry-standard reports, such as reports for developers and executives;
Does not report excessive false positives, ensuring that their team can spend their time protecting web applications, not investigating false positives.

After assessing multiple automated web vulnerability scanners, including AppScan and Acunetix WVS, Layers-7 chose Invicti’s web application security scanner—a trusted solution also used by leading global organizations like Samsung and Skype. As Sujit Christy, CEO of Layers-7, explained:
