What is Invicti?
Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, Invicti provides DAST-led application security software. The company serves more than 4,000 customer organizations globally and combines the former Netsparker and Acunetix product lines with ASPM capabilities.
Invicti is an application security platform built around dynamic application security testing. It crawls and scans web applications and APIs, validates exploitable findings with Proof-Based Scanning, and correlates results across the application portfolio. Teams can run it as cloud software or deploy enterprise editions on premises, then connect results to development and security workflows. Its newer platform combines DAST with application security posture management, AI prioritization, and broader code and supply-chain coverage.
Coverage spans web and API discovery, runtime validation, SAST, SCA, container and infrastructure-as-code scanning, secrets detection, SBOM and VEX, vulnerability management, compliance reporting, CI/CD automation, developer training, and agentic penetration testing. The breadth is useful for consolidating AppSec tools, while the platform remains strongest in proof-based DAST; complex authenticated workflows, API tuning, and large concurrent portfolios can still require configuration and operational attention. Deployment and capabilities vary by package.
Invicti is aimed at enterprise security, AppSec, DevSecOps, development, and audit teams that need repeatable evidence of exploitable risk across many applications. Its customer examples include Trendyol, LeoVegas, CZ Groep, Channel 4, Park 'N Fly, and OpenCart. Current pricing is quote-based for Web + API, AppSec Core, and AppSec Flex, while Agentic Pentest is priced at up to $500 per assessment; AWS Marketplace lists contract benchmarks from $7,000 annually for five Acunetix targets and $37,000 for 50 Invicti targets.
Key features
Proof-based DAST
Scans web applications and APIs, then validates vulnerabilities to reduce false positives and provide evidence of exploitability.
API security
Discovers and tests APIs with multilayer discovery, stateful testing, runtime validation, and CI/CD automation.
Application posture management
Correlates findings from scanners and manual sources into a centralized risk and remediation view.
Code and supply chain
Extends coverage with SAST, SCA, SBOM/VEX, container security, infrastructure-as-code scanning, and secrets detection.
Developer workflows
Routes findings into CI/CD, issue trackers, notifications, training, and automated remediation processes.
Agentic pentesting
Offers black-box, white-box, or gray-box testing with validated findings, reproduction steps, and audit-ready reports.
Flexible deployment
Supports hosted operation plus enterprise on-premises, private-cloud, Bring Your Own Cloud, and air-gapped options depending on package.

Pros & cons
Pros
- Proof-based validation gives security teams stronger evidence and fewer false-positive triage cycles.
- The platform scales from web and API testing into posture, code, and supply-chain coverage.
- Cloud, on-premises, private-cloud, and air-gapped choices accommodate demanding deployment policies.
- Broad integrations connect scanning to CI/CD, issue tracking, notifications, and developer training.
Cons
- Core platform pricing is not publicly itemized and generally requires a sales process.
- Complex authenticated applications and APIs may need significant tuning before scans are reliable.
- Broad enterprise coverage can add implementation and operational complexity for smaller teams.
- The strongest differentiation remains DAST, while adjacent modules increase scope and purchasing complexity.
Who is Invicti best for?
- Enterprise teams scanning large web and API portfolios with proof-based findings.
- AppSec programs consolidating DAST, posture management, and supply-chain signals.
- DevSecOps teams embedding validated security gates into CI/CD pipelines.
- Regulated organizations needing on-premises or air-gapped deployment and audit evidence.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Invicti cost?
+
Invicti's Web + API, AppSec Core, and AppSec Flex packages use custom pricing based on coverage, deployment, and services. The public Agentic Pentest offer is capped at $500 per pentest, while AWS Marketplace lists annual benchmarks of $7,000 for five Acunetix targets and $37,000 for 50 Invicti targets.
How does Invicti work and how long does implementation take?
+
Invicti crawls applications and APIs, runs security tests, and validates exploitable findings with proof-based scanning before routing results into remediation workflows. Implementation time depends on application count, authentication, integrations, and deployment; the vendor provides proof-of-concept licenses so teams can test their own environment before purchase.
How does Invicti compare with Pentera?
+
Invicti is centered on web/API application testing and expands into AppSec posture, code, and software-supply-chain security. Pentera is primarily an automated security validation platform for testing the effectiveness of network and endpoint defenses, so Invicti is the closer fit when application attack surface and developer remediation are the priority.
What integrations does Invicti support?
+
Invicti says it integrates with more than 110 tools across CI/CD, issue tracking, vulnerability management, communication, SSO, and security testing. Named examples include Jira, Slack, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitLab, GitHub, AWS Security Hub, and ServiceNow, with REST APIs for custom automation.
Who should buy Invicti?
+
It is designed for enterprise security, AppSec, DevSecOps, development, and audit teams securing many web applications and APIs. Regulated or infrastructure-sensitive organizations can choose enterprise on-premises, private-cloud, or air-gapped deployment options, while smaller teams may find the breadth and sales-led pricing heavier than needed.
Is Invicti accurate and secure for audit use?
+
Invicti's core differentiator is proof-based scanning, which verifies real exploitability and supplies evidence for triage and reporting; the company states 99.98% accuracy. It supports compliance reporting, audit-ready pentest PDFs, SSO, security audit logs in enterprise use, and deployment models that keep data in a customer's environment.
