Invicti Security rolled out AppSec Core on June 3, 2026. The new platform bundles proof-based DAST, SAST, SCA, SBOM generation, container security, secrets detection, and IaC scanning into one SaaS offering aimed at DevSecOps and AppSec groups that run lean.
Alert overload remains the dominant pain point. Siloed scanners flood teams with thousands of findings that lack clear priority or proof of real exploitability. AppSec Core tackles that directly by emphasizing runtime validation and correlation across tools.
Neil Roseman, CEO of Invicti, put it plainly in the announcement: “Security teams shouldn’t have to sift through thousands of theoretical vulnerabilities or stitch together findings from multiple vendors. Invicti AppSec Core proves which vulnerabilities are exploitable in running applications, pinpoints exactly where to fix them in code, turning AppSec into a driver of secure, high-velocity development.”
The platform builds on Invicti’s long-standing DAST engine, which the company claims delivers 99.98 percent accuracy through active exploitation attempts that confirm issues without false positives. It now layers in static analysis and supply-chain checks while preserving the runtime focus that distinguishes it from pure SAST or SCA products.
Key capabilities include API and web application discovery to surface shadow assets, automated SBOM creation for compliance tracking, and secrets scanning across code, build artifacts, and runtime. Container and IaC scanning round out coverage from code to deployment.
Correlation stands out as a practical differentiator. The system deduplicates findings and maps verified DAST results back to the originating code lines via DAST-to-SAST linkage. That mapping gives developers direct remediation paths instead of generic severity scores.
Reachability and exploitability analysis further refines prioritization. The engine weighs whether a vulnerability sits in reachable code paths, carries business impact, and shows actual runtime evidence. AI assists across these functions to automate focus on the issues that matter most.
Integrations target the realities of modern pipelines. Native support for CI/CD tools, ticketing systems such as Jira and ServiceNow, and developer training platforms reduces setup friction. Onboarding aims for minutes rather than months, a deliberate nod to teams without large dedicated security staffs.
Invicti positions AppSec Core as enterprise-grade yet accessible. It ships immediately as cloud-hosted SaaS with centralized management and proof-based validation baked in. The offering extends earlier ASPM capabilities acquired through the former Kondukto technology.
Industry context supports the timing. The Latio 2026 Application Security Market Report highlights practitioner demand for better cloud and runtime context, lower false-positive rates, and consolidated platforms over raw feature expansion. Invicti earned recognition in that report as both an Application Security Testing Leader and DAST Innovator.
Endor Labs analysis of DevSecOps tools in 2026 notes Invicti’s strength in proof-based scanning that delivers definitive evidence and builds developer trust. The same review flags the value of low false-positive rates when convincing teams to act on findings.
AppSec teams face mounting pressure from AI-accelerated development. Faster code generation expands attack surfaces while security headcount stays flat. Platforms that deliver validated, contextual signals rather than volume of scans gain traction precisely because they convert activity into measurable risk reduction.
Invicti’s approach keeps DAST at the center. Static tools catch issues early in the lifecycle, yet only runtime testing confirms whether those issues survive into production environments. By validating static findings dynamically and correlating results, the platform closes the loop between detection and actionable fixes.
Secrets detection and SBOM features address supply-chain and credential risks that static code analysis alone often misses. Container and IaC scanning extend visibility into infrastructure definitions that influence runtime behavior.
Documentation on the Invicti site details six integrated scanners that activate automatically within the AppSec Core package. These cover the full spectrum from source through deployment while feeding a single dashboard for oversight.
Webinar sessions scheduled for mid-June will walk through live demonstrations. CEO Neil Roseman, Principal Product Manager Jonny Stewart, and Director of Professional Services Ryan Bergquist are slated to participate.
Earlier platform iterations already combined Netsparker and Acunetix DNA into a unified scan engine. AppSec Core extends that foundation with broader static and orchestration layers while retaining the proof-based core that has defined Invicti for nearly two decades.
Organizations managing thousands of applications stand to benefit most from the consolidated view. Asset management reduces duplicate tickets, and API discovery helps close gaps that fragmented tools leave exposed.
Critics of all-in-one platforms sometimes cite lock-in concerns. Invicti counters with open orchestration options that allow teams to retain existing SAST or SCA tools and feed results into the central view for correlation and prioritization.
The launch arrives amid broader market movement toward outcome-driven AppSec. Reports emphasize that success metrics now center on remediation speed and risk posture rather than scan counts or tool checklists.
Invicti serves more than 4,000 organizations worldwide from its Austin base. The company’s track record in DAST accuracy and SDLC integration positions AppSec Core as a direct response to the alert fatigue that has plagued security programs for years.
Teams evaluating the offering can request demos through the company site. Early adopters will likely test the balance between unified coverage and the continued need for specialized tools in highly regulated environments.
Runtime validation remains the linchpin. Without evidence that a finding translates to an exploitable condition in production, even sophisticated static analysis leaves teams debating theoretical risk. AppSec Core’s design places that validation at the heart of every workflow.
PR Newswire carried the official announcement. Invicti’s own blog post and the CIO Influence coverage both echoed the same details on capabilities and target audience. Latio’s 2026 report provides independent context on why such platforms matter now.
