Vulnerability Assessment / Penetration Testing - VA/PT
A vulnerability assessment is a systematic review of security weaknesses in an information system. It evaluates if the system is susceptible to any known vulnerabilities, assigns severity levels to those vulnerabilities, and recommends remediation or mitigation, if and whenever needed.
Benefits of vulnerability assessments:
- Identification of security exposures before potential attackers. Early detection gives the opportunity to address such issues before being exploited at a huge cost to the company’s assets and reputation.
- An assessment of your company’s security posture.
- Vulnerability scans demonstrate the number of exposures associated with systems in each period.
- A layered evaluation of your infrastructure to know threats from internal and external attack points.
Our Vulnerability Assessment services uses advanced software to detect risks to your company’s infrastructure, identifying new internal and external vulnerabilities, preventing unauthorized access. Our qualified IT experts review the results of the vulnerability to provide a report, outlining key recommendations and threat advice.
Penetration testing (or pen testing) is a security exercise where a cyber-security expert attempts to find and exploit vulnerabilities in a computer system. The purpose of this simulated attack is to identify any weak spots in a system’s defenses which attackers could take advantage of.
Importance of penetration testing
- Validation of both internal and external security controls
- Simulation of existing threats using a manual testing approach
- Simulation of common threats to organizations
- Testing of vulnerability detection capabilities
- Testing the response to identified threats
Our technical experts perform penetration testing using manual or automated technologies to systematically compromise servers, endpoints, web applications, wireless networks, network devices, mobile devices and other potential points of exposure.
