Case Study: Oakland University achieves continuous, automated web application protection with Invicti

Oakland University uses Netsparker to Protect its Web Applications from Hacker Attacks

Oakland University, a public research university in Michigan serving nearly 20,000 students, needed to protect a large portfolio of websites and web applications built on multiple frameworks from security flaws and hacker attacks. The university’s IT team required an easy-to-manage, automated scanner that integrated with existing audit tools and supported modern web technologies, and chose Invicti’s Netsparker Enterprise to meet that need.

Invicti delivered Netsparker Enterprise to run scheduled monthly and on-demand scans, automatically confirm exploitable vulnerabilities, and produce actionable PDF/XML reports for remediation and re-scanning. As a result, the university gained greater visibility into web application security, eliminated time-consuming manual checks, freed IT staff for other tasks, and now routinely verifies fixes and maintains continuous protection of its web applications.
