VAPT Testing: Strengthening Your Cybersecurity with Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing
In today’s threat-filled digital environment, safeguarding your IT infrastructure is non-negotiable. Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) is one of the most effective methods to assess and enhance your security posture. This proactive approach allows businesses to uncover hidden vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. Let’s explore what VAPT entails, its benefits, and why it’s critical for modern enterprises. What is VAPT? VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) is a two-pronged cybersecurity testing method: Vulnerability Assessment (VA) : A systematic process that scans systems and applications to identify known vulnerabilities. Penetration Testing (PT) : Simulated cyberattacks are carried out to exploit identified vulnerabilities, test system defenses, and evaluate how an attacker could breach the network. Together, these processes provide a comprehensive view of an organization's security landscape. Why is V...
