VAPT (Vulnerability Assestment Penetration Test)

Vulnerability assessment is the process of finding and analyzing weaknesses in a system or network, while penetration testing is the process of trying to break into the system or network using those weaknesses 1.

Vulnerability assessment is usually done with automated tools, such as network scanners, while penetration testing may involve manual or automated techniques, such as web application attacks, social engineering, or physical access
Vulnerability assessment and penetration testing are both important for improving the security of a system or network. They can help identify and fix vulnerabilities before they are exploited by malicious actors. They can also help comply with security standards and regulations, such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, or ISO 27001
