Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing(VAPT)
What is VAPT Services
Vulnerability Assessment (VAPT) and Penetration Test (VAPT) are both security tools that focus on identifying security weaknesses within the server, network and infrastructure for the system. Each service serves an entirely different purpose and are utilized in order to accomplish distinct but related goals.Vulnerability Assessment is focused on security within the organization and Penetration Testing focuses on external actual risk.
What is Vulnerability Assessment(VA)?
The Vulnerability Assessment is a quick automated examination of server, network devices and systems to find the most significant security vulnerabilities and configuration issues an attacker could be able take advantage of. It is usually conducted inside the network on internal devices, and because of its small footprint, it is able to be performed frequently, if not every day.
What are the Steps for VAPT Services?
Step 1) Goals & Objective-Define goals and objectives of Vulnerability Analysis.
Step 2) Scope-While performing the Assessment and Test, Scope of the Assignment needs to be clearly defined.
The following are the three possible scopes that exist:
- Black Box Testing : – Testing from an external network with no prior knowledge of the internal network and systems.
- Grey Box Testing : – Testing from either external or internal networks with the knowledge of the internal network and system. It’s the combination of both Black Box Testing and White Box Testing.
- White Box Testing : – Testing within the internal network with the knowledge of the internal network and system. Also known as Internal Testing.
Step 3) information Gathering-Obtaining as much information about IT environment such as Networks, IP Address, Operating System Version, etc. It’s applicable to all the three types of Scopes such as Black Box Testing, Grey Box Testing and White Box Testing.
Step 4) Vulnerability Detection-In this process, vulnerability scanners are used to scan the IT environment and identify the vulnerabilities.
Step 5) Information Analysis and Planning-It will analyze the identified vulnerabilities to devise a plan for penetrating into the network and systems.
