To-date the organization employs close to 12,000 employees.

Lower cost, higher performance

Having used IBM AppScan in the past, they wanted to find a solution that would meet their needs at lower costs. Before opting for Invicti, the Research Technology and Service Department at Chunghwa Telecom, analysed both Invicti and HP Webinspect and found Invicti to be more suitable for their application scenario.

Hassle-free installation

Chunghwa Telecom needed a solution that could be installed seamlessly. Invicti was the ideal choice for its user friendly interface, simple installation and configuration, as well as the flexibility to secure custom web applications.

Increased staff productivity

It is critical for Chunghwa Telecom’s success, that every member of the Research and Development Team is as efficient and productive as possible. Approximately 50 developers at Chunghwa Telecom are currently using Invicti Enterprise Edition during the Software Development Lifecycle, on over 100 internal websites. Chunghwa Telecom routinely tests .NET, Java and Visual Basic applications running on Microsoft IIS and Ubuntu, using Invicti, for which it has proven to be very effective. Ever since deploying Invicti the results were resounding, experiencing an approximate 30% increase in staff productivity.
