Why is Acunetix listed as Invicti in the Gartner AST Market report?

Invicti Security is the parent company of two brands, Netsparker and Acunetix – Both brands have been serving the AppSec market for many years but have been operating as a single organization since 2017 to better support our customers to identify risk and facilitate remediation for their websites, web services, APIs, and web applications.

What types of AST technologies does Gartner include in the Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing?

Gartner includes companies who compete in the AST Market with at least two types of the following technologies; Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST), and Software Composition Analysis (SCA).

When should AST tools be used in the application development process?

Many people are familiar with using SAST and SCA security tools during the early application development process, but these software security solutions lose visibility into vulnerabilities created when the code is deployed to a running application. Invicti Security specializes in DAST and IAST products designed for this specific use case.
