VAPT Services

Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing

We offer Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) services for all your digital assets.

What is VAPT Testing?

As more organizations embrace digital transformation across the enterprise ecosystem, organizations’ attack surfaces widen, leaving more security backdoors for hackers to exploit.

With an average of 41 new security vulnerabilities published daily, attackers are becoming more sophisticated, and organizations must rethink their cybersecurity roadmaps to manage risk and protect critical assets effectively.

A vulnerability assessment is a systematic approach of identifying the security threats in an information system. It also provides an organization with the necessary knowledge, awareness, and risk background to understand and react to threats to its environment. It also plays a vital role in ensuring your organization meets the security compliance guidelines of PCI DSS and HIPAA.

Vulnerability Assessment Methodology

Information Gathering

Information gathering is the initial step in cybersecurity vulnerability testing. Before the target networks are scanned using vulnerability scanners, testers must be aware of the assets involved in the scope of testing so they can prioritize assets for scanning.

Scanning

Vulnerability scanning is a review of the possible points of exploit on a network to identify security holes. A vulnerability analysis facilitates organizations to monitor their networks, systems, and applications for security vulnerabilities.

Triaging the Results

In this phase, the pertinence of the vulnerability is analyzed in the context of your product and then prioritized based on the risk it poses. After triage, it is important to have a process in place to remediate vulnerabilities promptly.

Use Case Building Based on Assessment

You need to scan the asset and retrieving it with a network scanner may not be possible due to routing, location, hardening, or even credentials. A local agent accomplishes the task even if the instance will be short-lived.

Our Approach of Vulnerability Assessment

Blackbox Analysis

Blackbox analysis takes place in real-time, finding vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit. Blackbox test techniques help find certain vulnerabilities such as input/output validation problems, mistakes related to server configuration, and other problems specific to applications.

Greybox Testing

Greybox testing is useful to help understand the level of access a privileged user could gain and the potential damage they could cause. Greybox tests strike a balance between depth and efficiency and can be used to simulate an insider threat or an attack that has breached the network perimeter.

White Box Analysis

Whitebox analysis provides a comprehensive assessment of both internal and external vulnerabilities, making it the best choice for calculation testing. The close relationship between Whitebox pentesters and developers provides a high level of system knowledge.

Benefits of Vulnerability Assessment

Below are the key benefits of security vulnerability assessment:

Detect security weaknesses before attackers do;
An inventoried list of all the devices on your network, with their purpose;
A listing of vulnerabilities for each device;
Preparation for future upgrades;
Established security records for later assessments;
A defined risk assessment for your entire network; and
A plan for the risks vs. benefits of optimizing your securityinvestments.

What is Penetration Testing?

Penetration Testing is the process of identifying security vulnerabilities in computing applications by evaluating the system or network with various malicious methodologies.

The end purpose of this test is to secure critical information from outsiders who continually try to gain unauthorized access to the system. Penetration testers use similar tools and processes as attackers to find and demonstrate the business impacts of weaknesses in a system.

Penetration Testing Methodology

Penetration testing methodologies exist to detect security vulnerabilities in an organization.

The results of the test are then put together into a detailed report. The report contains vulnerabilities that were exploited, sensitive data that was breached, and the amount of time the security tester could remain in the system before being detected.

The exploitation of identified security vulnerabilities may be required to assess the risk of security issues. The testers will leverage these to further enter the system once the potential vulnerabilities are discovered.

False positives in penetration test occur when the scanner can access only a subset of the required information, which prevents it from determining whether a vulnerability exists. To reduce the number of false positives, you must configure your scanners with the proper credentials.

The methods described in this phase are meant to help the tester identify and document sensitive data, and identify configuration settings, communication channels, and relationships with other network devices that can be used to gain further access to the network.

Types of VAPT Security Testing Services

Web Application Vulnerability Assessment/Penetration Testing Services

It is the procedure performed by security experts on your applications to identify possible vulnerabilities that attackers may exploit.

Know more

Network Internal Vulnerability Assessment

Network External Vulnerability Assessment

This is conducted remotely, with an ethical hacker searching for security vulnerabilities in internet-facing assets such as web, mail, and FTP servers.

Android Vulnerability Assessment

It is a systematic approach to searching for vulnerabilities in an Android app, verifying the app’s security, and making sure it abides by security policies.

IOS Vulnerability Assessment

IOS pen testing services test IOS applications for security vulnerabilities and provide remediation recommendations.

Cloud Infrastructure Vulnerability Assessment

This type assesses the strong and weak points in cloud-based systems to improve the overall cloud security level.

Benefits of Vulnerability Assessment

Reveal Vulnerabilities

Penetration testing explores existing weaknesses in your system or application configurations and network infrastructure.
Show Real Risks

Penetration testers try to exploit identified vulnerabilities, which means you see what an attacker could do in the real world.
Ensure Business Continuity

Penetration Testing reveals potential threats and helps to ensure that your operations don’t suffer from unexpected downtime or a loss of accessibility.
Protect Clients and Partners

If the company schedules Penetration Testing and takes the necessary actions toward security, it will help professionals build trust and confidence in the organization.

Difference Between Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing

Speed of Execution

A vulnerability assessment takes a few minutes to a few hours to complete, whereas it can take up to a couple of weeks to complete a penetration testing process.
Depth of Testing

Vulnerability Assessment cannot identify business logic errors among other difficult, environment-specific vulnerabilities. The instincts of a skilled pen tester make a formidable tool to discover loopholes in a security posture.
Risk Analysis

Vulnerability Assessment report informs you about the CVSS scores for each vulnerability and marks its severity. With a penetration test, you get a clear return on investment for the test and the remediation.
Remediation Support

A vulnerability assessment report comes with recommendations for fixing the issues found. Your developers are left to do the research and execution. A pen test contains step-by-step guides to fix vulnerabilities.
