This is a security auditing tool that can be found at: 

https://www.acunetix.com/vulnerability-scanner

It is used by cybersecurity professionals to identify vulnerabilities in web applications that are hosted on the cloud. The use of web applications has increased over the last decade. At the same time, criminals are exploiting the vulnerabilities that are in internet protocols to cause havoc and to benefit financially by stealing confidential information that is sold on the black market. This tool, therefore, provides webmasters or cybersecurity professionals with a free cloud-based system that they can use to detect two of the most common vulnerabilities in web applications. The free version of the tool has limited functionalities compared to the paid version, but it can still provide valuable information that can be used to harden a given web application.
The tool offers an interface with a control panel where a user can select the type of scan, the vulnerabilities to be scanned, reports, settings, and the target system. After a user provides the required information, the scan is conducted and a detailed report outlining the detected vulnerabilities is generated. The security tool also suggests suitable actions that a user can
take to remedy the loopholes.
Acunetix is a useful security tool that can detect more than 4,500 web application vulnerabilities. Moreover, it can scan open source and custom-built applications to detect security loopholes that can be used to compromise the security of web applications.
Acunetix online scanner can also scan perimeter servers for weaknesses and give suggestions on the appropriate cause of action to rectify these weaknesses. The security tool is, therefore, an effective security tool for detecting and rectifying security weaknesses in web applications.
