An integrative analysis system and method of network vulnerability utilizing multiple heterogeneous vulnerability scanners to enhance the accuracy of the network vulnerability analysis are provided. The method comprises a scanning policy setting-up step of setting-up a common scanning policy able to be adapted to the multiple heterogeneous vulnerability scanners and specifying the policy for the respective vulnerability scanners, a vulnerability scanning and result collecting step of performing for the multiple heterogeneous vulnerability scanners to scan, to collect a result thereof, and to store the same in a database and a scanning result integrative analysis step of performing a relevance analysis and an integrative analysis on the scanning results collected, thereby obtaining a complementary vulnerability scanning utilizing multiple heterogeneous vulnerability scanners, enhancing the accuracy and the comprehension of the scanning results, and obtaining a comprehensive vulnerability analysis on a network.
