Netsparker - Web Application Security Scanner 5.0

Netsparker by Mavituna Security Limited is an automated dynamic application security testing (DAST) solution for discovering and verifying vulnerabilities in websites, web applications, and APIs. Its signature Proof-Based Scanning technology safely confirms exploitable issues—such as SQL Injection and Cross-Site Scripting—with reproducible evidence, greatly reducing false positives and saving remediation time.

Designed for modern development workflows, Netsparker accurately crawls JavaScript-heavy and single-page applications, supports authenticated scanning, and tests REST and SOAP APIs (including imports from OpenAPI/Swagger). It integrates with popular CI/CD tools and issue trackers so teams can automate security testing and seamlessly triage findings. Available in cloud and on-premises editions, it provides detailed reports, practical guidance, role-based access, and scheduling to help security and development teams collaborate at scale.

Key features:

• Automated detection and confirmation of critical web vulnerabilities (e.g., SQLi, XSS, CSRF, command injection, path traversal)
• Proof-Based Scanning with actionable evidence to minimize false positives
• Advanced crawling for SPAs and dynamic, JavaScript-driven content
• Authenticated scanning (form-based, NTLM/Windows, SSO) with macro and session handling
• API scanning for REST and SOAP; import OpenAPI/Swagger definitions
• CI/CD and ticketing integrations (e.g., Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitHub, GitLab, Jira)
• Comprehensive reporting mapped to standards like the OWASP Top 10 and PCI DSS
• Team collaboration with role-based permissions, scheduling, and custom policies

Netsparker helps organizations embed security into the software development lifecycle, prioritize real risks, and ship more secure applications faster.
