It's time to consider the Netsparker web application security solution.

The Most Flexible Web Application Security Solution

You need a DAST scanning solution that scales with you. Netsparker scales easily from an environment with a few websites to one with thousands. The solution has a number of workflow and integration tools and can easily integrate in your secure SDLC, so allowing you to get an accurate view of the security status of all your web assets, even if you change technologies over time.

Platform-Independent

Netsparker crawls your web application and identifies website vulnerabilities no matter what technologies it is built with and based on. Whether it was developed in PHP, Ruby on Rails, Java or .NET, Netsparker can crawl it, identify all attack surfaces and find vulnerabilities in it. Netsparker also has a dedicated client script engine to automatically crawl and scan custom built modern HTML5, Web 2.0 and Single Page Applications (SPA).

Netsparker also has a dedicated engine for popular off-the-shelf open source framework. So it can also work as a WordPress, Drupal or Joomla vulnerability scanner. It can identify the installed extensions, plugins and themes and scan them for vulnerabilities.

So regardless of how your web application is built, the Netsparker online vulnerability scanner can understand it, map it out, and give you all the information you need to secure it.

Full-Spectrum of Security Vulnerabilities

From the familiar vulnerabilities listed in the OWASP top 10 list like SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS), to bleeding-edge security issues like Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) and web server misconfigurations and security issues, Netsparker gives you a full picture of your web security posture.

It’s advanced ad heuristic scanning engine can also detect second order vulnerabilities, blind Cross-site Scripting (XSS) and out of band SQL Injection, Remote File Inclusion and many other variants and security vulnerability types.

The Best, Proven by Independent Tests

Don't just take our word for it. Independent researcher Shay Chen's 2017 web security testing benchmark tested both commercial and open source web vulnerability scanning tools. His benchmark tested the security scanners ability to detect a large number of real-world security vulnerabilities. In the vulnerability scanner comparison, Netsparker was the only scanner that found every single security issue and did not report any false positives.

Dead Accurate Results

According to the latest Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report, web application vulnerabilities are the most common root cause of data breaches. So you need a web vulnerability scanning solution you can trust to find exploitable vulnerabilities before the attackers do. You do not want to waste time verifying scan results or risking dealing with inaccurate results.

Trust Netsparker: the scanner with the exclusive Proof-Based Scanning™.

The Power of Proof

Vulnerability detection in Netsparker comes with proof of exploit. Whenever Netsparker identifies a vulnerability, it automatically exploits it in a read only and safe way. Upon exploiting it, and proving it is not a false positive Netsparker generates a proof of exploit.

In the proof of exploit developers can see the exact payload used in the HTTP request that exploited the vulnerability, as well as the evidence returned from the exploited web application. Therefore when doing vulnerability assessments you know immediately that it is exploitable, how it can be exploited, the impact it has on the web application and that it is not a false positive.

Independently Verified

Chen's web application scanning benchmark showed that Netsparker was right on target. Not only did his test show that Netsparker found every vulnerability, it determined that none of Netsparker's findings were false positives.
