Acunetix (now part of Invicti) has been a web application security staple since 2005. But domain-based licensing that counts every subdomain separately, plus a web-only focus, can leave significant gaps in your security posture.

|---|---|---|
 Transparent, pay-for-active-targets pricing. Up to ~70% lower total cost of ownership | Pricing & licensing |  Quote-only; estimated $4,500–$7,000+/yr at entry level; significant price increases reported since Invicti acquisition |
Scanning in under 10 minutes, ~6× faster onboarding | Time to first scan | SaaS setup relatively quick; on-premises adds hours; login sequence recording historically required a separate application |
150k+ application and infrastructure checks; finds ~1.5× more exploitable issues per asset | Detection breadth | DAST-focused; no network/infrastructure scanning; cannot accept IP ranges as targets; no EASM capability |
Zero-false-positive focus, ~90% reduction in noise vs. legacy scanners | False positives | Generally low false-positive rate with proof-based scanning; some manual filtering still required |
Modern, intuitive UI; analyst onboarding in ~1 day | User experience | Dashboard is accessible; deep scan configuration (authenticated flows) has a learning curve |
Born-in-the-cloud, multi-tenant SaaS, zero on-prem footprint | Cloud-native architecture | Dual deployment: SaaS and on-premises; on-premises introduces infrastructure maintenance overhead |
DAST + API security included in core platform | Web app & API scanning | Included in base license |
Continuous external monitoring; auto-rescan on change, detects new exposures up to ~3× faster | Attack surface management | No EASM product; asset discovery limited to domains/subdomains submitted by user |
Continuous emerging-threat scans; new CVEs checked within hours of disclosure | Real-time / emerging threat detection | SaaS updates automatically; on-premises requires manual updates; update cadence can lag behind threat disclosure |
Responsive support included for all customers; named success contact | Support & success | Post-acquisition support quality complaints documented across multiple review platforms |
100% Canadian-hosted; PIPEDA + Quebec Law 25 aligned; outside CLOUD Act exposure | Data sovereignty (Canada) | No Canadian data residency option; on-premises is the only way to control data location |
Minimal management; ~80% less admin time vs. legacy stacks | Administrative overhead | On-premises deployment: server maintenance, multiple agents (Auth Verifier, NTA, IAST bridge), and manual update cycles |
Vullify continuously scans your system for emerging threats, alerting you immediately when new vulnerabilities are detected. Continuously identify vulnerabilities for proactively identify the latest exploits in the wild before automated scanners scan.
Vullify cuts through the noise, smartly prioritizing results based on business context. Get actionable remediation guidance, assess your cyber hygiene, and monitor issue resolution times. Stay informed with real-time alerts via Slack, Teams, and email, so you never miss a critical update.
Your network is always evolving, making it a challenge to track what is and isn't exposed to the internet, especially what shouldn't be. With Vullify's external network monitoring, you gain continuous visibility of your perimeter and full control over your attack surface.

Below are common questions about continuous vulnerability scanning along with some answers and useful tips
A new CVE is created every 20 minutes, meaning your security status can quickly become outdated. Additionally, developers and IT teams frequently deploy new code or make changes daily. With attackers continuously scanning the internet for vulnerabilities, only ongoing scanning can provide timely alerts.
Keeping up with these threats is a challenge for most companies. IT managers juggle multiple responsibilities, and even well-staffed security teams are busy managing remediation efforts, generating reports, handling incidents, and advising the business. That's why Vullify delivers continuous vulnerability assessments, eliminating noise and providing only actionable security insights.
Vullify's continuous vulnerability assessment tool conducts internal and external vulnerability scanning, as well as application security testing for web apps, APIs, and SPAs. It detects over 100,000 infrastructure weaknesses and 75+ application vulnerabilities. Learn more about our security checks.
Vullify constantly monitors your network, providing peace of mind and ensuring your Attack Surface view is always up to date. When you add a target to the platform, Vullify starts the initial scan. After that, subsequent scans are automatically scheduled at regular intervals.
When you integrate Vullify with your AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform accounts, it automatically adds new external IP addresses or hostnames as targets. You can configure Vullify to automatically scan these new targets as they are added and set rules to control the import process.
When a new vulnerability is found in software on your perimeter, Vullify automatically scans your systems and alerts you to the newly discovered vulnerabilities. This proactive approach is crucial for businesses that lack processes to stay updated on the latest threats and manually perform scans.
Vullify's Rapid Response is a manual process performed by our security team to identify the latest critical vulnerabilities making headlines, including those not yet covered by our scanners or those that are more effectively detected by people.
Once a threat is identified, we scan your systems and notify you if any may be impacted. We'll also provide an advisory with detailed information and recommendations.
The required scanning frequency depends on the compliance standard you're aiming for! While SOC 2 and ISO 27001 offer some flexibility, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR specify scanning intervals, ranging from quarterly to annually. However, relying solely on these standards to determine your scanning schedule may not be ideal for your business. Given the rapidly evolving security landscape, this approach could leave you more vulnerable to risks. That's why continuous scanning is the most effective way to stay secure.
Continuous vulnerability management involves identifying, prioritizing, remediating, and monitoring vulnerabilities continuously. Learn how to build an effective continuous vulnerability management program.
