Vulnerability Assessment
Vulnerability assessment is the methodical evaluation of an organization’s IT Infrastructure which aims at identifying the weaknesses of these infrastructure components and also details how these weaknesses can be mitigated through optimal security controls and recommendations to remediate exposure to threats. Vulnerability Assessment is an important activity that all organizations must undertake to gain an understanding of the various security vulnerabilities that manifest in their organization’s IT infrastructure. Vulnerability Assessment includes assessing networks, operating systems and web applications for security vulnerabilities that might lead to system compromises and consequently the compromise of the critical information assets.
Penetration Testing
Penetration Testing is a process, which takes a step further from a vulnerability assessment. Penetration test aims at exploiting identified vulnerabilities in a way that an attacker would maliciously exploit web application vulnerabilities. In a Penetration test, the tester would gather information, enumerate the vulnerabilities and lastly would exploit the given vulnerabilities and gain access to the system. The rationale for a Penetration test is simulate a real-world attack on a web application and showcase a proof-of-concept of an attack which is perpetrated by a determined attacker against the organization’s IT infrastructure.
