ravi fieldengineer's blog : Things you should know about VAPT
VAPT is a complex process that requires a lot of planning. The first step is to identify what you want to test. This will include which systems should be tested, who needs access to those systems, and where they are located. Then you need to determine what vulnerabilities exist within each system. A vulnerability assessment toolkit is one way to accomplish this task.
The results of a vulnerability assessment include:
- An inventory of all the devices on your network
- Recommendations for fixing any issues identified
- A report detailing the findings
Penetration tests have many benefits. They allow organizations to discover hidden vulnerabilities before attackers succeed in exploiting them. They also help organizations develop policies for dealing with security incidents. Finally, penetration tests can help companies meet compliance requirements such as HIPAA or PCI DSS.
