Case Study: Bangladesh E-Government Computer Incident Response Team (BGD e-GOV CIRT) achieves rapid, automated vulnerability assessments and higher throughput with Acunetix

The Bangladesh E-Government Computer Incident Response Team Efficiency with Acunetix

BGD e-GOV CIRT is the Bangladesh E-Government Computer Incident Response Team, a 35-person government unit responsible for vulnerability assessment and penetration testing (VAPT) across many government agencies. Facing a high volume of requests that made manual assessment impractical and open-source tools insufficient, the team selected Acunetix to improve their ability to scan modern web apps and authenticated areas quickly and reliably.

BGD e-GOV CIRT now uses Acunetix daily for every VAPT engagement, leveraging features like SPA scanning and the Login Sequence Recorder to automate authenticated scans and generate compliance-format reports with proof-of-concept and remediation advice. As a result, Acunetix significantly increased the team’s throughput—enabling them to support many more requests, deliver reports much faster, reduce manual effort, and improve customer satisfaction.
