About ImmuniWeb

ImmuniWeb is a security assessment platform that combines AI-powered automated testing with manual penetration testing capabilities. The platform specializes in identifying vulnerabilities in web applications, APIs, and mobile applications. ImmuniWeb's infrastructure is hosted in Switzerland and Canada, adhering to EU GDPR compliance requirements through data residency in jurisdictions with adequacy decisions.

What does ImmuniWeb do?

The platform provides continuous security monitoring through two main offerings: AI-assisted automated scanning and expert-led penetration testing. The automated scanning component uses machine learning to detect common vulnerabilities, while the manual penetration testing service employs CREST-accredited security experts to uncover more sophisticated security flaws. The platform supports testing of cloud-based applications across major providers including AWS, Azure, and GCP, with particular attention to cloud-specific vulnerabilities such as misconfigurations and IAM policy issues.

Security assessments through ImmuniWeb encompass OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, API security testing, and software composition analysis. The platform maintains a zero false-positives service level agreement, backed by a contractual money-back guarantee. For mobile applications, the service conducts both static and dynamic analysis, examining both the application code and its runtime behavior.

What makes ImmuniWeb different?

ImmuniWeb uses a hybrid approach that combines AI-driven automation with human expertise. The platform's machine learning technology handles repetitive testing tasks, while security analysts focus on complex scenarios requiring human judgment. This architecture aims to make traditionally manual security testing more scalable and cost-effective.

The platform offers integration capabilities with CI/CD pipelines and DevSecOps workflows, allowing organizations to incorporate security testing into their development processes. ImmuniWeb provides various reporting formats including web, PDF, JSON, XML, and CSV, with mapped references to common vulnerability databases like CVE and CWE.

Use cases and industries

ImmuniWeb serves organizations requiring security assessments for cloud-based applications, new digital initiatives, and compliance requirements. The platform caters particularly to government agencies, academic institutions, and non-profit organizations with specialized pricing options. Its testing methodology aligns with multiple regulatory frameworks and industry standards including PCI DSS, GDPR, and NIST guidelines.

The service supports both external and internal application testing through a virtual appliance technology for internal network assessments. For cloud deployments, ImmuniWeb conducts specialized tests targeting cloud-specific vulnerabilities and attempting privilege escalation through misconfigured access permissions.
