Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT)
VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) is a cybersecurity testing process that identifies and mitigates security vulnerabilities in applications, networks, and systems.
Introduction to VAPT
- Vulnerability Assessment (VA): Identifies security weaknesses through automated scanning.
- Penetration Testing (PT): Actively exploits vulnerabilities to simulate a real-world attack.
Key Components of VAPT
Objective: Identify security flaws without exploiting them.
Process of VA:
- Information Gathering – Collect system details, open ports, and running services.
- Scanning & Enumeration – Identify known vulnerabilities using automated tools.
- Risk Assessment – Categorize vulnerabilities based on severity.
- Reporting – Generate a detailed report with recommendations.
