Java IAST sensor

Acunetix Premium 24.1 includes a new Java IAST sensor that supports Java 17. Although the current (older) Java IAST sensor will continue working, we recommend updating to the new Java sensor if you use AcuSensor for Java.

How to update the Java sensor

1. Remove the current sensor.
2. Install the new sensor.

For instructions to remove the current sensor and install the new sensor, refer to the documentation relevant to your JAVA setup, available here:

If you don't have Java IAST yet and would like it, you can install the new sensor after updating to Acunetix Premium 24.1. For more information, refer to Installing the AcuSensor agent for JAVA websites.
