E-SPIN and Acunetix launched World Strongest Web Application Security Scanner version 7.0 for enterprise, corporate and government businesses
1st of September, 2010. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. E-SPIN are very excited to announce again the launch of Acunetix WVS version 7.0, the breakthrough new version of the world strongest web application security scanner, which adopted and implemented by various government and corporate clients worldwide, Malaysia and region E-SPIN doing business locally. This new version of Acunetix WVS, features improved performance, less false positives and detection of a wide range of new web vulnerability types. “With Acunetix WVS v7 we focused on finding more vulnerabilities, reducing false positives, and on improving scanner performance,” said Robert Abela, Acunetix Technical Manager. “As a result, Acunetix 7 is now 300% faster, can reduce false positives up to 50% and detects new vulnerabilities such as stored directory traversal. This helps businesses reduce the time and resources needed to secure their web applications significantly.” Unique vulnerability verifying technique reduces false positives Acunetix v7 includes new advanced vulnerability verifying techniques which result in much less false positives, and thus saves time of security administrators trying to reproduce such situations. Such accuracy is achieved by sending a number of test inputs to the web application, and depending on the response, Acunetix v7 will automatically determine which web vulnerability checks to launch against the web application. New faster scanning engine reduces time to scan a website by up to 300% Acunetix WVS Version 7 includes a new fast multi-threaded scanner that can scan on more threads at a time and more efficiently. Scans that could take hours to complete now can be done in minutes, depending on website structure and web applications. Acunetix 7 reduces time needed to fix security vulnerabilities When a web security threat is discovered, Acunetix WVS Version 7 presents the developers with a more precise and understandable technical and vulnerability remediation information, to help them fix the issue in a much shorter time. To improve understanding, different variants of the vulnerability are gathered in one detailed vulnerability report. Acunetix v7 can also re-check a fix for a particular vulnerability, without having to rescan the entire website. Detect more web vulnerabilities Thanks to the new revolutionary scanning engine and website crawler, Version 7 is able to find much more vulnerabilities than ever before. The new site crawler’s in-depth analysis of the website presentation layer discovers more website parameters and inputs. Acunetix 7 is therefore capable of finding many more vulnerabilities in a larger variety of different web applications. Scan a wider range of web applications Acunetix v7 is also able to crawl and scan a wider variety of web technologies. Support for Web 2.0 applications has been improved, and also session handling. All of the advanced penetration testing tools have been rewritten to support Web 2.0 requests, such as JSON, XML and more. HTTP authentication Acunetix WVS v7 now supports more than a single pair of HTTP credentials for the same host. Thanks to the new HTTP authentication settings node, one can pre-define credentials per host, directory and even file. Easily create your own vulnerability checks Acunetix v7 now has improved support for creating custom vulnerability checks. Vulnerability checks are written in JavaScript, the most popular scripting language with web developers, and can thus be easily adjusted or extended. A scripting tool and SDK are also available to assist developers in writing custom web vulnerability and security checks. Other Features - New graphical scan status interface shows more information about a web scan in progress
- Avoid the lengthy process of manually analyzing the code by specifying the label or tag instead of actual parameter name
- Verify that AcuSensor Technology is correctly installed with a simple click of a button
