Escape vs Invicti

About Invicti

Invicti sells an application security platform that combines DAST, SAST, SCA, IaC, Secrets, and Container testing in one platform. Invicti consolidates security findings into a single view and applies runtime reachability, exploitability, and business context to prioritize the risks that matter. Invicti says scanners flood teams with alerts and that hours are wasted chasing false positives when there is no runtime prioritization. Invicti says teams lack visibility into who owns critical vulnerabilities, remediation timelines, and whether fixes actually worked.^[4][6]

Invicti DAST scans running web applications and APIs and validates findings with proof-based scanning. Invicti's proof-based scanning confirms many common vulnerabilities automatically by exploiting them safely and showing you the proof. Invicti offers SaaS, on-prem, and hybrid options for deployment. Invicti fits into the CI/CD pipeline with native integrations for tools like Jenkins, GitHub, and Azure. Invicti lists 110+ out-of-the-box integrations and an open-source CLI. Invicti says it is built for enterprise scale and scans complex web applications.^[1][5]

Invicti provides built-in static application security testing (SAST) as part of the Invicti AppSec Platform. Invicti SAST uses techniques including taint analysis, rule exclusions, and sanitizer allowlists to reduce noise during static analysis. Invicti says validated vulnerabilities can be traced back to the exact file and line of code. Invicti integrates application security findings with developer and collaboration tools such as Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Azure Boards, Slack, and Microsoft Teams.^[1][7]

Invicti offers static and dynamic SCA as a fully integrated capability within the Invicti Application Security Platform. Invicti SCA detects known vulnerabilities (CVE-based) in open-source libraries and flags risky licenses for compliance. Invicti traces vulnerabilities through full dependency chains, including transitive dependencies. Invicti generates SBOMs in CycloneDX, SPDX, and other formats. Invicti says its AI-BOM shows every AI component in the supply chain.^[8]

Invicti says its IaC checks detect misconfigurations early, enforce security policies in CI/CD, and track IaC risk alongside code and runtime findings. Invicti finds and surfaces exposed API keys, passwords, encryption keys, and tokens. Invicti integrates container scanning with SCA, DAST, and CI/CD workflows. Invicti supports scanning container images through registries and Kubernetes clusters. Invicti supports generating and scanning container SBOMs in standard formats including CycloneDX and SPDX.^[9]

Invicti says it can discover and test REST, SOAP, GraphQL, and complex authorization flaws like BOLA and BFLA. Invicti tests API authentication with support for tokens, cookies, and OAuth2, and catches BOLA, BFLA, and unauthenticated API access.^[4][10]

Invicti describes Octo as a hybrid agentic pentester combining scanners and AI for audit-ready reports in under 24 hours for $500 or less. Invicti uses a centralized AI coordinator that spins up focused agents, each specialized in vulnerability categories such as SQL injection, remote code execution, cross-site scripting, and authentication flaws. Invicti says agents work with Invicti DAST to minimize token usage and increase efficiency.^[6]

Invicti Consultant is a special single-user license for Invicti Standard. Invicti says the Consultant user can run a maximum of 3 concurrent scans. Invicti Team and Enterprise has a full-featured REST API. For healthcare, Invicti says it helps protect patient data and prove HIPAA compliance with built-in reporting.^{[1][4][6][10][11]}
