How is Invicti helping enterprises shift from reactive vulnerability scanning to continuous, DevSecOps-aligned security?
Invicti shifts AppSec from a reactive task to a continuous process by embedding security directly into DevSecOps pipelines. Our dynamic scanning runs automatically in CI/CD workflows, ensuring every deployment is tested in real time. Unlike static tools that flood teams with alerts, Invicti focuses on live applications—delivering validated, actionable results that let security and development teams work in sync. This continuous, automated model turns security into an enabler of speed and innovation, not a blocker.
How does DAST(Dynamic Application Security Testing) approach help address critical application vulnerabilities better?
DAST tests applications in their real, running state, exposing vulnerabilities that static tools miss. By simulating genuine attack behavior, Invicti pinpoints flaws attackers can actually exploit—whether in complex business logic or API endpoints. Every vulnerability is verified through proof-of-exploit, ensuring teams fix real risks first. This sharp focus on runtime risk cuts out the noise and helps organizations tackle the most dangerous vulnerabilities head-on.
How is your scanning approach for testing application security more effective?
Invicti’s scanning engine is engineered for depth and precision. It maps every reachable part of an application, dynamically interacting with web apps, APIs, and single-page apps to uncover hidden vulnerabilities. Our proof-based scanning method automatically validates findings, providing hard evidence for developers. The result: fewer false alarms, clear remediation paths, and broader, deeper coverage that finds what other scanners miss.
How do you ensure accuracy and reduce false positives while scanning complex web environments?
Accuracy is at the core of Invicti’s approach. Our scanners don’t just flag potential issues—they confirm them. By safely exploiting vulnerabilities during scans, Invicti proves what’s real and filters out false positives. The platform’s flexible configuration and support for advanced authentication and business logic ensure that scans reflect real-world conditions, delivering results teams can trust and act on immediately.
What challenges do enterprises face in scaling application security, and how does Invicti address them?
Enterprises struggle with fragmented AppSec processes, tool sprawl, and alert overload, especially as their digital footprint grows. Invicti solves this by providing a single, scalable platform that unifies asset discovery, vulnerability testing, and remediation guidance. With deep integration into development pipelines and automated, continuous scanning, Invicti helps organizations secure thousands of apps—without overwhelming security teams or slowing delivery. Most critically, by focusing on exploitable risks, we ensure that AppSec efforts stay efficient and impactful at scale.
Disuss your focus and growth in the region. Also, discuss your partnership with Bulwark?
Invicti is focused on developing the Middle Eastern market. Working with finance, insurance, retail, healthcare, and government entities, Invicti is keen to leverage its global, market-leading position in Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST). Bulwark has given Invicti a powerful, regional, and growing presence in the Middle East, and further expansion and investments will be made in 2025. Recent integration enhancements with F5 BIG-IP and NGINX around API discovery, and a seamless integration with SAST vendor Mend.io, increase the need and value of Invicti in the enterprise software security market, with further product enhancements and integrations due later this year.
Mention some key highlights of your participation at GISEC this year?
Working closely with the Bulwark team at GISEC has been a tremendous success for Invicti. Strong interest from regional enterprises was evident, with a number of POC requests being made specifically because of the local technical experience of Bulwark combined with Invicti’s global, leading position in DAST.
