VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT AND PENETRATION TESTING SERVICES (VAPT)
What is VAPT ?
VAPT stands for Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing. It is a comprehensive security testing methodology used to identify vulnerabilities in a computer system, network, or application.
Vulnerability Assessments
Protect your business from cyber threats with our comprehensive vulnerability assessment services. Vulnerability assessment is a process of identifying, evaluating, and prioritizing weaknesses or vulnerabilities in an organization’s systems, applications, and infrastructure. The goal of vulnerability assessment is to identify potential security risks and providing recommendations for remediation to reduce the risk of a successful cyber attack.
Why Vulnerability Assessment
Helps identify potential security weaknesses and vulnerabilities in systems, applications, and infrastructure.
Allows for proactive measures to remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by attackers.
Helps prioritize security efforts by identifying critical vulnerabilities and their potential impact on security posture.
Helps organizations meet regulatory requirements and industry standards.
Improves overall security posture, reducing the risk of successful cyber attacks.
Builds trust with customers and partners and enhances the organization’s reputation for security and trustworthiness.
Penetration Testing
PT is an authorized attack on a network — a form of ethical hacking— that exploits vulnerabilities so that a pen tester can attempt to gain access to systems and data. The idea is to see how easy or difficult it is to overcome your defenses, testing the hypothetical risks found during a vulnerability assessment.
Pen testers use a well-known arsenal of “white hat” hacking tools to complete their sanctioned attacks, including the social engineering toolkit and framework.
A Pen Tester’s manual skill and creativity are just as important to successfully find an exploitable system, map the network, gain access to other systems and test defenses.
PT provide a picture of your cyber health at a specific point in time.
Why Penetration Testing
PT 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.
PT is conducted by a professional ethical hacker and will include a post-assessment report detailing any vulnerabilities discovered and remediation guidance to help address them.
PT provides an insight into weaknesses within the system attack surfaces that an attacker could exploit to get access to your data and systems.
PT analyzes application vulnerabilities or security policies, mimics attacks from insiders, evaluates a network configuration or put an operating system under stress to determine weak points.
Approaches
VAPT approaches could be Whitebox testing, Blackbox testing and Greybox testing.
Whitebox Testing – The organization will provide your tester with information about your intended target. Whitebox testing also generally takes place within a credentialed environment.
Blackbox Testing – The organization does not share additional information about the target with the tester and the tester generally conducts network sweeps without using credentials.
Greybox Testing – The organization provides the tester with partial details about targets.
CIS VAPT Methodology
CIS VAPT approach gives an organization a more detailed view of the threats facing its applications, enabling the business to better protect its systems and data from malicious attacks.
Our VAPT Services
Network VAPT
Network VAPT is a process of great importance, useful in detecting security misconfiguration, network vulnerabilities, and threats that can harm any organization’s networks, web servers, and other applications when exploited by hackers. It is one of the key processes for assessing an organization network’s security.
Web application VAPT
Web application VAPT involves a methodological series of steps aimed to gathering information about the target system, finding vulnerabilities, and researching for exploits that will succeed against vulnerabilities and compromise the web application.
Endpoint VAPT
Endpoint VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) is an essential part of any organization’s security posture. Our Endpoint VAPT services are designed to help organizations identify vulnerabilities in their endpoint systems and applications, and provide recommendations for remediation.
