Information Security Audit Service (VAPT)

Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT) is a security testing methodology in which the IT systems such as computers, mobiles and networks, and software such as operating systems and application software are scanned in order to identify the presence of known and unknown vulnerabilities. VAPT comprises of two, more specific methods.

  • Vulnerability Assessment (VA) is the first stage. VAPT team identifies all vulnerabilities in an application or network. While this method is great for identifying vulnerabilities, it cannot differentiate between exploitable and non-exploitable vulnerabilities. It is an examining approach which is conducted both physically and performed by specific instruments or applications.
  • Penetration Testing (PT) is the second stage. Penetration Testing takes the vulnerabilities identified in the first step, identifies exploitable vulnerabilities, and attempts to exploit them. Using these two methods together in VAPT helps organizations to get a more cohesive picture of their current security vulnerabilities, how exploitable they are, and how large the impact could be on them.

The primary purpose of vulnerability and penetration tests is to identify, evaluate, and mitigate the risks due to vulnerability exploitation.
