Integrating Invicti Standard with Email

This document is for:

Invicti Standard

Sometimes, instead of, or as well as, integrating Invicti Standard with a specialised application, you may want to have vulnerabilities sent to an email address.

This topic explains how to configure Invicti Standard to send a detected vulnerability to one or more email addresses, enabling instant notification and reporting of security issues to relevant stakeholders through customizable email alerts.
