Acunetix (Invicti): A Modern Website and API Security Solution
In an era of rapid digital transformation, information technology brings abundant growth opportunities for businesses, but also escalates risks from security vulnerabilities in web applications and IT infrastructure. According to the Ministry of Information and Communications, in June 2024 alone, up to 90,033 vulnerabilities and security flaws were identified across servers, workstations, and information systems of various organizations and agencies. Similarly, the National Cybersecurity Monitoring Center reported that September 2024 saw 12 new vulnerabilities categorized as critical/high, which could be exploited in attacks.
The rise in sophisticated and increasingly frequent cyber threats makes securing websites, web applications, and APIs not just a top priority but a vital factor in safeguarding data and brand reputation. APIs, as crucial data bridges, are also highly vulnerable to attacks; thus, if not properly secured, data breaches, user experience disruptions, and decreased system performance could result.
To address these complex threats, VNCS is proud to introduce Acunetix – a comprehensive web security testing solution from Invicti.
