Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing

VAPT

Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) is a security testing process that identifies vulnerabilities in an organization’s systems, applications, and networks.Vulnerability Assessment involves scanning and analyzing systems, networks, and applications to identify potential weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Penetration Testing simulates real-world attacks to exploit identified vulnerabilities and assess the effectiveness of security controls. 

It Consists of Two main Components :

1. Vulnerability Assessment (VA):

  • This involves scanning systems, networks, and applications to discover potential security flaws.
  • It uses automated tools to identify known vulnerabilities, such as outdated software, misconfigurations, and open ports.
  • Essentially it is the process of identifying the holes in your security.

2. Penetration Testing (PT):

  • This goes a step further by actively attempting to exploit those vulnerabilities.
  • Ethical hackers simulate real-world cyberattacks to see how far they can penetrate the system.
  • PT helps organizations understand the potential impact of a successful attack and prioritize remediation efforts.
