These phrases are coming up as Hybrid work continues into 2022:
-
We’re lean on resource; if anything gets through our stack 24/7 real-time detection and response isn’t possible.
-
Alerts are everywhere across Endpoint, Email and 0365/Cloud, we want one prioritized pane of glass
-
What if the next Log4j hits us? How do we mitigate impact?
-
End users remain our biggest risk
If any resonate, a conversation with our partner, Darktrace, could make sense.
They’re able to have 24/7 detection and response for their hybrid workforce by using self-learning AI that understands ‘on the job’ normal business activity. It means they stop sophisticated cyber threats (ransomware, zero-days, social engineering, account compromise) in real-time while preventing operational disruption.

Major bank: Acunetix scans multiple applications automatically
Major bank: Acunetix scans multiple applications automatically
We can detect more vulnerabilities with Acunetix than other scanners.
The challenge: Too many applications, not enough time
This Acunetix customer is a Spanish multinational financial services company serving nearly 18 million customers. Their business relies on many web applications, and keeping them safe is difficult. There are also regulations to follow, including PCI DSS, GDPR, and more.
The bank’s cybersecurity team must prevent web security issues at all costs. However, scanning every application manually is not possible. There are too many web assets to protect. One mistake could hurt the bank’s reputation.
The solution: Acunetix Premium
The bank used a different web application scanner before Acunetix. After comparing the scanners, they decided to go with Acunetix Premium.
Today, the bank uses Acunetix Premium to scan websites, web applications, and APIs. Acunetix Premium then passes results to the bank’s vulnerability management system. There, developers can decide how to fix any issues.
Acunetix gives indications to areas which will require further manual testing.
Acunetix Premium’s automatic scanner can also handle a big workload. It can scan all of the internal and external applications for the cybersecurity team.
It would be impossible to do all the automatic scans in a manual way. As we are a bank with many regulations, it is a must to do automatic scans in all websites and applications.
Finally, Acunetix Premium is always improving. The bank is notified immediately of new features or product updates. The security team also enjoys Acunetix’s training webinars.
We have experienced an improvement over the course of the last few years in customer support and in product development.
Benefits
- Thorough scanning: Acunetix helps cybersecurity teams identify issues in even the most complex applications
- Pentesting support: Acunetix automatically finds all typical vulnerabilities so that penetration testers can focus on more complex issues
- Automation: Acunetix makes it possible to scan many more applications in much less time
