Invicti AppSec overview

Invicti AppSec is a comprehensive Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) platform that brings together security testing, vulnerability management, and developer remediation into a single solution. It helps your organization find, prioritize, and fix security vulnerabilities across your entire application portfolio.

What Invicti AppSec does​

Invicti AppSec combines multiple security testing tools with a unified management layer so you can:

  • Test your applications with built-in scanners for SAST, DAST, SCA, container security, IaC, and secrets detection.
  • Consolidate findings from all testing types into a single vulnerability database with unified prioritization.
  • Prioritize what matters using AI-powered risk scoring that considers exploitability, business context, and runtime reachability.
  • Automate workflows including scan scheduling, issue creation, notifications, and SLA enforcement.
  • Help developers fix issues with AI-guided remediation suggestions and contextual security training.
  • Track progress with dashboards, reporting, and audit logs.

Security testing coverage​

Invicti AppSec includes six built-in scanner types that cover your application from code to runtime:

  • SAST (Static Application Security Testing): Analyzes source code to find vulnerabilities like injection flaws, authentication issues, and insecure data handling. Supports 27+ programming languages.
  • DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing): Tests running applications to identify runtime vulnerabilities. Uses proof-based scanning to confirm exploitability. Covers REST, GraphQL, and SOAP APIs.
  • SCA (Software Composition Analysis): Identifies vulnerabilities and license risks in open-source dependencies, including both direct and transitive dependencies.
  • Container security: Scans container images for vulnerable OS packages, exposed secrets, and misconfigurations.
  • IaC (Infrastructure as Code): Checks Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, Helm, Dockerfile, Ansible, and Pulumi files against security benchmarks.
  • Secrets detection: Finds hardcoded credentials, API keys, tokens, and private keys in your codebase and Git history.

With the Enterprise package, you can also bring your own third-party scanners, including tools like Checkmarx, Semgrep, Snyk, Burp Suite, Trivy, and many more.

Vulnerability management​

All findings from every scanner flow into a unified vulnerability database where you can:

  • View and filter vulnerabilities across projects, products, and scanner types.
  • Assign issues to your team's issue manager (Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, ServiceNow, and more).
  • Mark vulnerabilities as false positive, true positive, or risk accepted with built-in approval workflows.
  • Import vulnerability reports from external tools or penetration tests.
  • Track vulnerability status from discovery through remediation.

Automation and orchestration​

Invicti AppSec automates repetitive security tasks so your team can focus on fixing issues:

  • Scan scheduling: Run scans on demand, on a schedule, or triggered by CI/CD events.
  • Issue creation: Automatically create tickets in your issue manager when new vulnerabilities are found.
  • Notifications: Configure alerts to keep teams informed of critical findings.
  • SLA enforcement: Set rules to enforce remediation timelines based on severity and business criticality.
  • Correlation assistant: Automatically group similar vulnerabilities to reduce duplicate tickets.

Integrations​

Invicti AppSec connects to the tools your teams already use:

  • Source control: GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket
  • Issue managers: Jira, GitHub Issues, GitLab Issues, Azure DevOps, ServiceNow, Ivanti, Trello, and more
  • CI/CD pipelines: Integrate scans into your development workflow
  • SSO providers: Azure AD, Okta, Google Workspace (SAML 2.0)
  • Notifications: Configurable alerts across multiple channels

Packages​

Invicti AppSec is available in two packages:

Invicti AppSec Core​

A complete, out-of-the-box application security platform available as an on-demand (SaaS) deployment. Core includes all six built-in scanners, AI-powered prioritization, developer remediation features, and SSO support. It's ideal for organizations that want a single platform for application security without extensive customization.

For more details, see Invicti AppSec Core package overview.

Invicti AppSec Enterprise​

Everything in Core, plus advanced capabilities for larger organizations with more complex requirements. Enterprise adds role-based access control (RBAC), third-party scanner integrations, penetration test report import, on-premises deployment, and stateful API DAST capabilities. Available as both on-demand (SaaS) and on-premises deployments.
