Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) are two crucial components of a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. Vulnerability Assessment involves systematically identifying and assessing vulnerabilities within a system, network, or application. It aims to uncover weaknesses in security controls, misconfigurations, and software flaws that could potentially be exploited by malicious actors. On the other hand, Penetration Testing takes the evaluation a step further by actively simulating real-world attacks to exploit vulnerabilities and gain unauthorized access. This process helps organizations understand the potential impact of a successful attack and provides insights into areas that require immediate attention and remediation. By conducting regular VAPT exercises, businesses can proactively enhance their security posture, patch vulnerabilities, and safeguard their digital assets from potential threats.
