The full report can be found here: https://www.acunetix.com/acunetix-web-application-vulnerability-report

 

Acunetix  prepared the report by doing the following:

  • Taking data from Acunetix Online for scans performed between March 2019 and February 2020
  • Randomly and anonymously selecting 5,000 scan targets
  • Focusing on High Severity and Medium Severity vulnerabilities

 

Our general observations are:

  • The total number of web and network perimeter vulnerabilities is slightly less than last year
  • Relatively new scan targets had more vulnerabilities than others
