Vulnerability assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) is the most comprehensive service for auditing, penetration testing, reporting and patching for your c o m p a n y ’ s web based applications. With port 80 always open for web access there is always a possibility that a hacker can beat your security systems and have unauthorized access to your systems. Vulnerability assessment and penetration testing are two different and complimentary proactive approaches to assess the security posture of an information system’s network. The Vulnerability Assessment is done to test the security posture of the information system both internally and externally. Penetration tests provide evidence that vulnerabilities do exist as a result network penetrations are possible. They provide a blueprint for remediation. Methodology include: discovery, enumeration, vulnerability identification, vulnerability assessment, exploitation and launching of attack, reporting, external penetration testing, internal penetration testing, legal issues before you start.
