License Overview
An Invicti License defines the access and usage rights for Invicti application security testing capabilities according to the organization’s application portfolio, scanning requirements, and security workflow.
Unlike traditional vulnerability scanners that mainly identify possible security issues, Invicti focuses on validating vulnerabilities and providing evidence-based results. This approach helps security teams reduce the time spent reviewing false positives and focus on vulnerabilities that require remediation.
The licensing structure depends on several factors, including:
- Number of applications
- Number of websites
- API testing requirements
- Development environment coverage
- Production environment scanning
- Number of users
- Integration requirements
- Deployment model
How Invicti Licensing Works
Invicti licensing is designed around application security coverage rather than traditional endpoint-based protection.
A typical workflow includes:
Application Discovery
→ Identify websites, applications, and APIs requiring security testing
Automated Scanning
→ Analyze applications for vulnerabilities
Proof-Based Validation
→ Confirm vulnerabilities and reduce false positives
Risk Prioritization
→ Categorize findings based on security impact
Remediation Support
→ Provide actionable information for development and security teams
This approach allows organizations to integrate security testing into both development processes and ongoing application monitoring.

Features and Benefits
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)
DAST is one of the core capabilities of Invicti.
Instead of analyzing only application source code, DAST evaluates running applications from an external perspective by simulating how attackers interact with the application.
This allows Invicti to identify vulnerabilities such as:
- SQL Injection
- Cross-Site Scripting
- Authentication weaknesses
- Server configuration issues
- Insecure application behavior
DAST testing is especially useful for production applications and environments where source-code access is not available.
Proof-Based Scanning
One of the key differences of Invicti is Proof-Based Scanning.
Traditional vulnerability scanners may report potential issues that require manual verification. Invicti attempts to validate vulnerabilities by providing evidence that confirms the security impact.
Benefits include:
- Reduced false positives
- Faster vulnerability triage
- Better developer communication
- More accurate risk assessment
This allows security teams to spend more time fixing real vulnerabilities instead of manually reviewing uncertain results.
API Security Testing
Modern applications rely heavily on APIs for communication between services.
Invicti supports API security testing to help identify weaknesses in:
- REST APIs
- Web services
- Application interfaces
- Backend communication layers
API testing helps organizations protect modern cloud-native and microservice-based applications.
