ABOUT NETSPARKER
THE NETSPARKER STORY
It all started back in 2006. Penetration tester and security researcher Ferruh Mavituna was spending hours and days manually verifying the results of automated web security scans, weeding out false positives.
False positives have always been a pain point of automated web security tools. Ferruh’s frustration fuelled his ambition to build an automated web application security scanner that generates dead accurate web assessments, a solution users can trust.
Netsparker, the web application security scanner that automatically verifies the identified vulnerabilities, was first released on the market in 2009. The secret behind Netsparker’s dead accuracy is its proprietary and cutting-edge Proof-Based Scanning Technology.
When Netsparker was first released many were skeptical of the dead-accurate claim. Established industry vendors claimed that it is not possible to build an accurate scanner. Back then vendors told their users that it is better to manually verify the identified vulnerabilities than not having any vulnerabilities to verify.
Fast forward to today and vendors are now trying to emulate Netsparker’s exclusive technology. The Netsparker web application security solution is a leading player in the industry. It has been at the forefront of web application security automation and has pioneered several other technologies that enabled businesses to automate most of their vulnerability assessments and triage processes.
Netsparker’s technology has been the best performing in terms of vulnerability detection and accuracy in several independent scanner comparisons. World leading and renowned businesses such as Samsung, NASA, Microsoft and Siemens trust and use Netsparker to ensure the security of their web applications, web services, and web APIs.
