Penetration Testing

Penetration Testing (PT)

Penetration testing aims to identify vulnerabilities and risks in the system which may impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data by emulating a real attack.

In this approach, Excellent cyber’s security analysts who work as hackers (ethical hackers) to identify the uncovered security loopholes. The only thing that separates a penetration tester from an attacker is permission.

Penetration tests attempt to exploit the vulnerabilities in a system to determine whether unauthorized access or other malicious activity is possible and identify which flaws pose a threat to the application.

Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT)

Vulnerability analysis, also known as vulnerability assessment, is a process that defines, identifies, and classifies the security holes (vulnerabilities) in a computer, network, or communications infrastructure.

In addition, vulnerability analysis can forecast the effectiveness of proposed countermeasures and evaluate their actual effectiveness after they are put into use.

Why Vulnerability Assessment is necessary?

Vulnerability assessment is necessary to identify, prioritize, and mitigate security risks, comply with regulatory requirements, protect assets and reputation, and demonstrate a commitment to cyber security best practices. By incorporating vulnerability assessment into their cyber security strategy, organizations can strengthen their security posture and reduce the likelihood and impact of security incidents.
