The False Positives Problem
OneDot61 is a technology distributor. OneDot61 has a commercial interest in products discussed here.
Security teams running regular application testing face a problem that rarely gets discussed openly: that a significant portion of the findings they receive aren't real. These false positives or vulnerabilities flagged by automated scanners that don't actually exist or aren't exploitable consumes time, slows down remediation workflows, and erodes trust in the testing process itself. The most common cause is that automated scanning tools were built for speed, coverage and not accuracy. They generate findings at volume, and the task of separating the real signal from the noise falls to the already-stretched security teams. ImmuniWeb helps teams delivers high signal low noise results at scale with global compliance.
The Scale Problem
Modern organisations don't have one application to test but dozens or hundreds, spread across web, mobile, API, and cloud environments. Add in third-party dependencies, supply chain exposure, and evolving compliance requirements across frameworks like PCI DSS and GDPR, and the scope of what needs to be tested continuously grows faster than most teams can manage. Hiring more penetration testers isn't a realistic solution at that scale but fully automated testing without human oversight can increase the false positive problem. The answer lies somewhere in between. ImmuniWeb's hybrid approach is designed to address this: automation for routine scanning at speed and scale with human experts for the sophisticated attack chains automation alone can't reliably detect.
Why does ImmuniWeb's Testing Work where others don't?
ImmuniWeb takes a hybrid approach to these problems. They use AI and machine learning to handle the routine scanning work at speed and scale while human expert penetration testers focus on the sophisticated attack chains that automation alone can't reliably detect. The result is a platform that offers the coverage of automated tooling with the accuracy of human expertise. Customer success stories speak to the success of their approach.
ImmuniWeb's platform spans web, API, mobile, and cloud testing, continuous attack surface management, dark web monitoring, third-party risk assessment and more. It has been recognised extensively with awards and certifications including the winner at Global InfoSec Awards at RSAC 2026, and has extensive compliance coverage across the globe.
If your testing programme is generating more noise than signal, it may be time to look at what accuracy-first application security actually looks like.
