What is Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing ?

Vulnerability Assessment is a systematic process of identifying, evaluating, and prioritizing vulnerabilities in computer systems, networks, applications, and other components of an organization’s IT infrastructure. The goal is to proactively discover weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers. Vulnerability assessments typically involve scanning and analyzing systems for known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and security issues.

Penetration Testing, often referred to as “pen testing” or “ethical hacking,” is a simulated cyberattack on a system, network, or application to identify and exploit security vulnerabilities. Unlike vulnerability assessments, penetration testing goes beyond identification and aims to actively exploit weaknesses to assess the effectiveness of security controls and measures in place.
