Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT)
An essential cybersecurity service designed to identify and fix weaknesses in your organization’s IT systems, networks, and applications. With the rapid growth of cyber threats, ensuring that your digital assets are secure is crucial, and FireShark provides an industry-leading solution to stay ahead of these risks.
What is VAPT?
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) is a comprehensive security testing methodology used to uncover and address potential vulnerabilities in your IT infrastructure before they can be exploited by attackers. VAPT consists of two critical components:
- Vulnerability Assessment: This involves scanning systems, networks, and applications to identify known vulnerabilities, configuration issues, and weaknesses without actively exploiting them. It’s a passive but thorough process that highlights security flaws that may expose your organization to attacks.
- Penetration Testing: This is an active, offensive security testing method where vulnerabilities found during the assessment are exploited by security experts to simulate real-world attacks. This gives organizations a clear understanding of how these vulnerabilities could be used by malicious actors and what the impact would be.
Comprehensive Security Testing
VAPT combines vulnerability assessment and penetration testing to provide a thorough review of an organization’s IT infrastructure, identifying potential security flaws before they can be exploited.
Vulnerability Assessment
This passive process scans systems, networks, and applications to detect known vulnerabilities and configuration issues, helping to prevent future security breaches.
Penetration Testing
This active process simulates real-world attacks by exploiting discovered vulnerabilities, providing organizations with insights into the potential impact of those weaknesses.
