AI Pentesting with Invicti
Autonomous penetration testing at machine speed, built on 20+ years of runtime expertise
3600+ Top Organizations Trust Invicti
The Future of Pentesting is Agentic
Agentic pentesting uncovers the high-value vulnerabilities traditional DAST can't, while maintaining the speed and accuracy Invicti is known for. Invicti combines 20+ years of runtime scanning expertise with coordinated AI agents to deliver deeper, smarter assessments in a single, validated report.
Faster than manual pentesting
The depth of pentesting with the accuracy of Invicti's industry-leading DAST delivers scan results in less than 48 hours.
More coverage than traditional DAST
Invicti correlates DAST with source code and proprietary logic to identify technology-specific attack points.
Cost-effective, continuous, and scalable
On-demand assessments that scale, finding the critical vulnerabilities DAST can't on its own.
1. Recon
Instead of running a generic test suite, Invicti agents prepare a focused plan built around your app.
2. Attack
Invicti coordinates specialized agents—like a room full of hackers—that run in parallel, sharing context as they test.
3. Confirm & Report
Every finding is proven exploitable before you see it, focusing teams on the critical vulnerabilities other tools miss or bury.
What customers say
“For more websites, we now don’t need to go externally for security testing. We can fire up Invicti, run the tests as often as we like, view the scan results, and mitigate to our hearts’ content. As a result, the budget we were spending every year on penetration testing decreased by approximately 60% almost immediately and went down even more the following year, to about 20% of our initial spending.”
– Brian Brackenborough | CISO, Channel 4
“Invicti detected web vulnerabilities that other solutions did not. It is easy to use and set up...”
- Henk-Jan Angerman | Founder, SECWATCH
“I had the opportunity to compare expertise reports with Invicti ones. Invicti was better, finding more breaches.”
- Andy Gambles | Senior Analyst, OECD
“Invicti is the best Web Application Security Scanner in terms of price-benefit balance. It is a very stable software, faster than the previous tool we were using and it is relatively free of false positives, which is exactly what we were looking for.”
- Harald Nandke | Principal Consultant, Unify (now Mitel)
Frequently asked agentic pentesting questions
What is AI or agentic pentesting?
Agentic pentesting uses coordinated AI agents to perform an intelligent penetration test. Instead of running a static ruleset, we creates a tailored attack plan and spin up specialized agents that work in parallel—sharing context and refining attacks like a team of human pentesters.
Does this replace manual penetration testing?
Agentic pentesting is designed to deliver deeper testing than traditional automated scans, but in a scalable, coordinated way.
While manual pentesting remains valuable for certain compliance requirements, Invicti helps uncover advanced vulnerabilities without the scheduling delays and resource constraints of a one-time manual engagement.
What does “specialized agents” mean?
Invicti uses a centralized AI coordinator that spins up focused agents—each specialized in major vulnerability categories such as SQL injection, remote code execution, cross-site scripting, and authentication flaws.
These agents work in parallel and share context, improving the depth and relevance of testing.
How is agentic pentesting different from traditional DAST?
Traditional DAST efficiently identifies known vulnerability classes at scale.
AI agents build on that proven engine and focus AI effort on uncovering the high-value vulnerabilities that traditional scanning may not easily detect.
How does does agentic avoid false positives?
Every candidate finding generated is validated using Invicti’s proven confirmation techniques.
Invicti prioritizes zero noise—meaning reported vulnerabilities must be confirmed as exploitable before they appear in your final report.
Can Invicti AI use source code to improve testing?
Yes. The agents use source code to generate results far beyond traditional DAST. Source code allows Invicti to refine attack strategies and generate more targeted security checks tailored to your application.
