Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT)

Overview

Uncovering Weaknesses, Strengthening Defenses

Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT) is a term used to describe security testing that is designed to identify and help address cyber security vulnerabilities. VAPT could include anything from automated vulnerability assessments to human-led penetration testing and red team operations.

Why do you need VAPT?

The tools, tactics and procedures used by cybercriminals to breach networks are always evolving and that means that it’s important to regularly test your organisation’s cyber security. VAPT helps to protect your organisation by providing visibility of security weaknesses and guidance to address them. VAPT is very important for organisations wanting to achieve compliance with standards including ISO 27001 and PCI DSS.

Penetration Testing

Penetration testing, or pen testing for short, is a multi-layered security assessment that uses a combination of machine and human-led techniques to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in infrastructure, systems and applications.

The pen test conducted by a professional ethical hacker will include a post-assessment report detailing any vulnerabilities discovered and remediation guidance to help address them.
