Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) is a comprehensive cybersecurity approach that combines both vulnerability assessments and penetration testing to identify and address security weaknesses.
Key Features
Vulnerability Assessment: Involves scanning and evaluating systems, networks, and applications for known vulnerabilities, such as outdated software or misconfigurations, to identify potential weak points before they can be exploited.
Penetration Testing: Simulates real-world cyberattacks by attempting to exploit identified vulnerabilities in a controlled manner, assessing the extent of the damage an attacker could cause and how it could impact the organization.
Holistic Security Posture: By combining both assessments, VAPT provides a comprehensive view of an organization’s security, revealing both visible and hidden weaknesses in the IT infrastructure
Proactive Defence: VAPT allows organizations to address vulnerabilities proactively, improving defences and ensuring the protection of sensitive data, critical systems, and intellectual property
Compliance and Threat Mitigation: Regular VAPT testing supports compliance with industry standards and regulations, while keeping defences updated against an ever-evolving cybersecurity threat landscape
