Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing Services

While the goal of a vulnerability assessment is to recognise all vulnerabilities in an environment, a penetration test literally 'breaks into the network' as a continuation.

Hence, the team only requires to use one or two vulnerabilities to penetrate the environment. From here, the aim is to obtain administrator or root access on the most significant system in the network, which means that the team should own the network and can do anything they would like with the systems and the data. A penetration test is conducted to follow what a real hacker would do and it demonstrates to the company that the organization can certainly be penetrated.

Penetration testing is also indicated as ethical hacking. It is a time-engrossing duty. So, by implementing a vulnerability assessment the organisation understands the week areas where hackers can access its data.
