Invicti Shark node

This document is for:

Invicti Standard, Invicti Enterprise On-Premises, Invicti Enterprise On-Demand

The Shark node lists all the information reported by Invicti Shark (IAST) for your web application.

You can run interactive security testing (IAST) with Invicti Shark in your web application to confirm more vulnerabilities and further minimize false positives.
Additionally, using Shark enables Invicti to provide additional information from the back-end while scanning your web application.

Once the scan is completed, all components are listed under the Shark node in the Knowledge Base. You can access the same information in the Knowledge Base Report and Knowledge Base Tab.

Deploying Invicti Shark (IAST)? Refer to the Deploying Shark (IAST) in Invicti Enterprise On-Demand document.
