Case Study: Lexsi achieves comprehensive, cost-effective web vulnerability detection with Acunetix

Lexsi anticipates customer’s security risks with Acunetix

Lexsi, Europe’s largest independent CERT with 15 years’ experience, 200 employees and over 500 active customers, needed a web scanner that could anticipate customers’ security risks across a wide mix of web technologies and be delivered via its SaaS platform. To meet that challenge Lexsi uses Acunetix alongside other tools, integrating Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner into its suite of audit, consulting and incident response services to cover everything from IIS/Apache and PHP/ASP.NET to HTML5, REST, SOAP and single‑page applications.

Acunetix provides deep crawling (including SPAs) and broad vulnerability detection while remaining competitive on price and easy to install and configure, so Lexsi runs it together with HP WebInspect and IBM AppScan to maximize coverage. Lexsi reports that Acunetix’s detection ratio comes very close to HP WebInspect at a fraction of the cost, and its built‑in OWASP Top 10 and compliance reports speed analysts’ audits—supporting Lexsi’s thousands of audits and improving audit efficiency and cost‑effectiveness.
