More than 20 percent of those vulnerabilities are classified as critical, which has the potential to bring business operations to a screeching halt.
With the threat landscape continually evolving, it’s important to take steps to prevent would-be attacks and protect sensitive data. That is where the Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner comes in, complete with Alliance training courses tailored to your experience level and specific needs.Web Vulnerability Scanning is a method that uses tools to automatically scan web applications for known security vulnerabilities and deliver a report on the findings.
