VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) is typically a mix of two different forms of testing. While Vulnerability assessment tools help find out the risks present within a system, Penetration testing actually exploits the determined flaws to measure the severity of each threat.
With varying strengths, these testing methods when combined together under VAPT could produce highly effective security analysis and risk assessment.
Businesses choose VAPT for a number of reasons. Here is why you need it too:
Using VAPT, we analyse and evaluate flaws and risks associated with your application and also determine their criticality in real-time. The testing methodology is highly comprehensive and more effective than any single test done randomly.
VAPT helps the IT team to foresee probable threats lurking around applications and network systems. This helps professionals in staying prepared in advance for the challenges not yet experienced but can arise in the future.
Allows companies to determine the threats posed both on applications from third-party providers or designed in house. And, most of these threats are easy to fix after being detected. Plus, VAPT enables the IT teams to mitigate high-risk vulnerabilities before they can actually cause any threat.
This is where we test how exploitable each vulnerability is and what impact the attacks on these vulnerabilities will cause
– Carry ethical hacking using powerful tools such as Kali, Custom Scripts, FPGA based password cracker
– Classify these flaws according to their exploitability ease under EASY, AVERAGE and DIFFICULT
– Categorise the impact of these threats under MODERATE, HIGH and SEVERE
– Deliverables:
Finalize the report with an action plan. Recommend various risk mitigation strategies to fight each Vulnerability found.
Use the best and tested methods to fix the vulnerabilities one by one, addressing the severe ones first.
– Deliverables:
Final list of the fixed vulnerabilities with an overall success report. The detailed approach and efforts involved.
Assess the results parallel to the goals set in the first phase to identify the objectives met. And to further course the testing process, if needed, to ensure the best security measures. The reporting is done using the OSSTMM 3.0 framework, STAR (Security, Test, Audit, Report). The STAR offers experts with the comprehensive executive summary for the specific scope. Plus, allows us to provide apt suggestions based on the attacks.
We conclude our reporting in two sections. While one is the executive summary, the other talks about the technical finding from the conducted tests.
– Deliverables:
Additional guides and documents for understanding the vulnerability and their cause to help clients and their IT teams to prepare a more secure system.
We wait until the client fixes the vulnerabilities in the system. Following which, we carry confirmation scan to ensure that the suggested anomalies are taken care of.
With our expertise of many years, we take pride in serving a variety of industries and domain with following requirements:
– Infrastructure including servers, network etc
– Applications
– API
– Cloud
– Hardware devices including IoT
