What is a Vulnerability Assessment?
Vulnerability Assessment is a comprehensive scanning through various security validations to locate the vulnerable flaws in the pre-existing code. Vulnerability Assessment is limited to locate the vulnerability but it doesn’t reveal the impact or destruction level that can be caused due to the identified flaws.
What is a Penetration Testing?
Penetration Testing is a method to exploit the analyzed vulnerabilities using appropriate tools as well as manually. Penetration Testing shows that out of N no. of flaws found in Vulnerability assessment which particular flaw may lead to the highest degree of penetration of malicious attack so it measures the impact of vulnerability and possible destruction level.
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VA / PT)
So VAPT is a combination of both VA & PT, which locates the flaws in the system, measures the vulnerability of each flaw, classifies the nature of the possible attack, and raises the alarm before these flaws lead to any exploitation.
We provide services in the Vulnerability Assessments And Penetration Testing domain, our services include but we are not limited to:
- Web Application VA/PT
- Mobile Application Testing
- Network/Server Security VA/PT
- Database Security Assessment
- Cloud Security Testing
- Wireless/WIFI Service Assessment
- API & Web Services
Web Application VA/PT:
Web Application VAPT is a security testing method for security holes or vulnerabilities in web applications and corporate websites. Due to these vulnerabilities, websites are left open for exploitation. Nowadays, companies are moving their most critical businesses and applications process on the web. There is no denying the fact that today, web apps are considered as vulnerability’s major point in organizations.
Mobile Application Testing:
The most beneficial way to avoid any security risk is to opt for Mobile Application VAPT that holds the power of providing us with a definite level of confidence when it comes to security maintenance. According to various studies, more than 80% of mobile application users have the belief that their mobile finance and health apps are perfectly secure. Preliminary aim of conducting the Mobile App penetration test is to recognize all exploitable vulnerabilities in the app or network that can potentially get exploited by the hackers.
Network Security:
Our service includes overall assessment of your network environment for vulnerability and misconfigurations that could be leveraged for any Cyberattack on the critical assets of your organization. As a part of this assessment we review configuration and perform VAPT for routers, switches, firewalls, UTM, IPS/IDS, WAPs or any other network devices installed in your environment.
Database Security Assessment:
Database Security Assessment provides an in-depth to evaluate the database security best practices, such as how the employer database performs authentication, authorization, encryption, table permissions, session management, access control, password management, auditing/logging, and configuration management.
Wireless/WIFI Service Assessment:
Expanding your network capabilities can be done well using wireless networks, but it can also be a source of harm to your information system. Deficiencies in its implementations or configurations can allow confidential information to be accessed in an unauthorized manner. This makes it imperative to closely monitor your wireless network while also conducting periodic Wireless Network assessment.
API & Web Services:
A Web Service Penetration Test is an authorized hacking attempt aimed at identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in the architecture and configuration of a web service. The purpose of this test is to demonstrate the ways attackers can compromise a web service and gain access to an organization’s virtual assets.
Testing Types
White-Box Testing: This method implies that the tester knows the app’s ins and outs and has access to the source code and various documentation. White-box testing allows for faster testing and more sophisticated test cases.
Black-Box Testing: With this approach, the tester has no prior knowledge of the app, which allows them to behave like a user (or hacker) and exploit the publicly available info.
Grey-Box Testing: This one is the most common approach in security testing. With it, some information (like the credentials) is provided, but the rest is to be discovered by the tester
