Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing

Are you conducting a Vulnerability Assessment or a Penetration Test (Pen Test)? Many people use these terms interchangeably, but they are two distinct and vital cybersecurity practices. Knowing when and how to use each is crucial for hardening your defenses!

In this video, we clearly define, contrast, and demonstrate the processes behind VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing), giving you the knowledge to secure your systems effectively.

🔑 What You Will Learn:
Vulnerability Assessment: A focused, automated process that scans for, identifies, and scores security weaknesses.

What it is: A broad scan identifying potential flaws.

Deliverable: A prioritized list of vulnerabilities (e.g., Critical, High, Medium).

Penetration Testing: A targeted, manual process that exploits weaknesses to prove they are real and measure their business impact.

What it is: A deep dive attempting to compromise systems.

Deliverable: A detailed report showing exploit paths and business risk.

The VAPT Feedback Loop: How to combine both methods for continuous security improvement.

Common Scoping Models for Pen Testing (Black Box, White Box, Grey Box).
