Malik Mesellem, CEO of MME BVBA and creator of bWAPP, says that Invicti (formerly Netsparker) is not only excellent at identifying web vulnerabilities, but also at exploiting them in a sophisticated manner. Their penetration testing has reached a whole new level thanks to it.
Established in 2010 by Malik Mesellem, MME BVBA is an autonomous IT security firm. He is likewise the originator of bWAPP, an intendedly vulnerable web application, and has presented numerous talks on web application security at various SANS summits and other prominent InfoSec events.
His organization focuses on IT security assessments, pentesting, ethical hacking, and cybersecurity training. They have also carried out security assessments and educated individuals from businesses across diverse industries. The team, headed by Malik Mesellem, utilized the Invicti web application security scanner in both their penetration testing and cybersecurity training.
Invicti’s sophisticated SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS) detection engine distinguishes it from alternative web security scanners
Throughout the years, the MME BVBA has used multiple automated tools for web application security and formulated a suite of thorough assessment protocols. Every couple of months, the group tests a purposefully insecure web application. Their objective is to evaluate how well scanners crawl web apps and identify security flaws in bWAPP.
During the last five years of analysis and experimentation, the findings indicate that other enterprise-grade web vulnerability scanners do not match Invicti in spotting SQL injections, XSS, and other direct-impact flaws. Nowadays, this is the best solution.
Beyond automated web vulnerability detection
Invicti was selected by Malik Mesellem and his team not only because of its excellent vulnerability detection. They also appreciated its user-friendliness and the automation of both pre- and post-scan processes. As a result, it provides time efficiency.
When performing pentesting, the last thing teams want is to waste time configuring the software. They also dislike the need to manually confirm each finding by exploiting it themselves. Companies require platforms that save them time. That enables them to assist more clients and deliver a better service.
Invicti is an excellent foundation for training cybersecurity professionals
In addition to deploying the Invicti web application scanner for penetration testing, the MME BVBA team also integrates it into their presentations and instructional programs. Since Invicti is highly intuitive, it equips learners with a platform that boosts their confidence and helps them grasp the technology without being overwhelmed by the intricacies of web security.
The intuitive platform also ensures that learners can dedicate more focus to understanding vulnerabilities and how to detect them, rather than spending excessive time learning another difficult tool.
