Acunetix 360 scans web applications and APIs to identify security vulnerabilities through automated testing.
Summary
Acunetix 360 is a commercial web application vulnerability scanner run as a hosted service, aimed at application developers and security teams responsible for finding and fixing flaws before release. It validates credentials before a full scan starts and supports interactive MFAMFAMulti-factor authentication, requiring proof from different categories, such as a password and a hardware key, to sign in. It reduces reliance on a password alone. logins, so authenticated scanning works against targets that would otherwise block automated tools, and it retains sitemap and scan data for up to 730 days for ongoing analysis rather than one-off snapshots. It sits in the web-app-security category, alongside other scanners that developer and AppSecAppSecApplication security: the practice of finding and fixing vulnerabilities in software during design, development, and testing. Cyber tools build on AppSec workflows to shift vulnerability detection earlier in the development lifecycle. teams use to test running applications rather than source code. Its agents and Auth Verifier Service run on .NET 10 for long-term support, and its API now accepts partial updates to scan profiles and policies without resubmitting full configurations. Launched in 2018 and still shipping regularly, with its most recent release 24 days ago.

How Acunetix 360 helps
Which vulnerabilities exist in this web application before it ships?
crawls and tests the running application and its APIs against a battery of automated attack checks, reporting each flaw found so it can be fixed before release
Why is a scan failing to authenticate against this target?
validates the supplied credentials, including interactive multi-factor logins, before the full scan starts, so a login problem surfaces immediately instead of showing up as an empty or incomplete result
How did this application's exposure change since last quarter's scan?
keeps sitemap and scan data for up to 730 days, so past crawls and findings stay available to compare against a new run rather than being discarded after each scan
Where exactly did an authentication check go wrong for a particular login flow?
can capture the full request and response exchange during the authentication check into a HAR file, opt-in, for inspecting what the login sequence actually sent and received
Can I update a scan profile's settings without resubmitting its whole configuration?
accepts partial updates to scan profiles and policies through its API, changing only the fields supplied and leaving the rest of the configuration untouched

Five scores for Acunetix 360, each built from the releases, notes and API history this site tracks — and, on Researcher and Business, where it stands among every measured tool in its category and how that has moved.
Score cards are part of every paid plan.

Blank means never measured; nothing here is a filled-in zero.
Peer standings are included with Researcher and Business. See how this tool ranks against its competitors, using data we don't publish anywhere else.
See plans →Each score is 0–100 on a published rubric, derived from data this site already shows. A dimension we cannot measure says so — it is never scored 0 and never enters a rank.
How this is scored
- Shipping velocity — releases a month over the last 12 months, on a log scale where 16 a month scores 100. Needs 3 releases in the window.
- Documentation quality — the release-notes rubric published on the analytics page, unchanged.
- Breaking-change discipline — the share of releases carrying a breaking change (none scores 100, half or more scores 0). Only projects that label breaking changes are measured: a clean record cannot be told from an unlabelled one.
- Maintenance risk — quiet time measured against the tool's own release cadence (quiet longer than 90 days and three typical gaps scores 0), plus the number of active maintainers and whether contributors are growing, where known. Higher is lower risk.
- Innovation & surface — new capabilities in the feature ledger this year, API and MCP operations added, and the share of commits that are features: the mean of whichever we hold.
- Community health (open-source tools only) — each is a direction, not a size: contributors this year against last, the bus factor now against a year ago, and issues closed per issue opened, where steady scores 50, doubled 100 and halved 0; plus the median time to a maintainer's first reply (an hour scores about 100, a month or more 0). A commercial card has no repository and carries none of the four.
- Documented delivery (commercial tools) — when a vendor's documented new capabilities have slowed against its own baseline, that counts against the overall standing as heavily as two low dimensions. Steady delivery, or too little history to judge, leaves the standing alone; it is never a sixth score.
- Open-source tools are scored on repository signals; commercial tools on their published changelog. Ranks compare tools within one category and one profile and need at least five measured peers; the overall standing needs three ranked dimensions. Best-in-breed or consolidator is a shape, not a quality, and is never scored.
Release-note detail over time
See how much detail Acunetix 360 puts in its release notes, quarter by quarter, and compare it with tracked tools in the same category. This history uses up to ten retained, reviewed notes per tool; sparse or blank older quarters may reflect that limit.

Each offering on the pricing page links to its own page of plans, read at its latest capture.
Plan relaunches
Plans, prices and descriptions are quoted from the vendor's own pricing page as we read it on each date. A plan missing from a later reading is shown as no longer listed on the page — a statement about the page, not the product. Readings that failed to show any plans are left out rather than read as a change.
