Case Study: Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute strengthens web application security with Invicti

Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute protects 20+ websites with Invicti

The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, a world-renowned genomic research centre, faced the challenge of securing its numerous web applications against threats like SQL injection and cross-site scripting. Their previous manual security testing was time-consuming and limited in scope, so they required an automated solution to protect their valuable data and reputation. They chose the Invicti Enterprise web application security scanner to address this challenge.

By implementing Invicti's automated scanner, the Institute can now thoroughly scan web application updates across their 20+ sites before deployment. The solution from Invicti has identified several critical vulnerabilities during development, preventing them from reaching the live environment. This has saved the security team hundreds of hours, allowed for more confident deployment of new code, and significantly mitigated the risk of a damaging hack that could compromise data and their reputation.
