What is VAPT?

Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) is a comprehensive security testing approach designed to identify and address security vulnerabilities in systems, networks, and applications. Vulnerability Assessment (VA) involves systematically scanning and analyzing systems to identify potential weaknesses. Penetration Testing (PT), often called ethical hacking, simulates real-world attacks to exploit identified vulnerabilities and assess the extent of potential damage. VAPT combines both approaches to provide a more complete security evaluation, offering both a broad overview of weaknesses and in-depth analysis of exploitable flaws. It is commonly used to improve an organization's security posture, comply with regulations, and protect sensitive data.
