Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) is a cybersecurity service that identifies and mitigates security risks in an organization’s IT infrastructure.
- Vulnerability Assessment:
- Focuses on identifying, categorizing, and prioritizing security vulnerabilities in systems, networks, and applications.
- Uses automated tools and scans to detect weaknesses like outdated software, misconfigurations, or unpatched systems.
- Provides a risk assessment report with recommended mitigation strategies.
- Penetration Testing (Pen Test):
- Simulates real-world cyberattacks to exploit identified vulnerabilities.
- Conducted by ethical hackers to assess the effectiveness of security controls.
- Results in a detailed report outlining exploited vulnerabilities, the potential impact, and remediation steps.
VAPT helps organizations proactively strengthen their defenses, meet compliance standards, and minimize the risk of cyberattacks.
