What is Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT)
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) is an extensive security evaluation methodology designed to identify and remediate cyber security vulnerabilities. By integrating both vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, VAPT offers a comprehensive analysis to enhance the cyber security posture of your organization.
The term VAPT can denote different concepts depending on the geographical context. It may refer to a collection of distinct services or a single, integrated offering. In its entirety, VAPT encompasses a range of activities, from automated vulnerability assessments to human-conducted penetration testing and red team operations.
The value of VAPT
Why do you need VAPT
VAPT encompasses various security assessment services aimed at identifying and addressing cyber security vulnerabilities within an organisation’s IT infrastructure.
Understanding different types of VAPT services is crucial for selecting the right assessment for your company’s needs. VAPT assessments vary in depth, scope, and price, so this knowledge ensures you get the best value.
Given the continuously advancing tools, tactics, and procedures employed by cybercriminals to infiltrate networks, it is essential for organizations to regularly assess their cyber security measures.
VAPT provides visibility into security weaknesses and offers guidance on addressing them. It is important for organizations aiming to comply with standards such as PDPA, GDPR, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS.
Although every penetration test is tailored to your individual needs, we follow the same proven methodology to maintain a consistent set of results.
Phase 1: Scoping
Phase 2: Reconnaissance and enumeration
Phase 3: Mapping and service identification
Phase 4: Vulnerability analysis
Phase 5: Service exploitation
Phase 6: Pivoting and general post-exploitation
Phase 7: Reporting and debrief
Each of our expert testers specialises in several areas of cyber security, operating with the versatility needed to safeguard your digital assets.
VAPT Services
Protect your web applications from potential breaches by identifying vulnerabilities attackers could exploit.
Secure your mobile applications by uncovering security flaws that could lead to unauthorised access and data breaches.
During a network penetration test, we assess the security of your network infrastructure by employing various techniques from multiple perspectives, both external and internal. The evaluation encompasses connected network devices such as servers, laptops, storage drives, printers, network appliances, and web applications.
We analyze component operations, communication, and access to assess their security posture and your network. This helps identify critical vulnerabilities, potential exploits, and necessary remediation actions.
The widespread adoption of connected devices has rendered the Internet of Things (IoT) highly vulnerable to cyber threats, especially in the context of constructing botnets for conducting large-scale Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.
We provide comprehensive IoT testing services designed to assess and ensure the security of smart devices across a range of sectors, including domestic, industrial, and automotive applications.
IoT security testing is essential for any device that connects to a network, particularly those intended for 'plug and play' use, as these frequently have less than optimal security configurations.
Our comprehensive testing evaluates the entire attack surface, encompassing hardware, firmware, applications, networks, and encryption. We deliver high-level management reports alongside detailed technical findings to enhance device security. This meticulous methodology ensures that connected devices are safeguarded against emerging threats.
External Infrastructure Penetration Testing is conducted to evaluate the security of systems, networks, and applications that are accessible from outside the internal network.
External infrastructure penetration testing helps organizations find and fix security issues, reducing the risk of data breaches, financial losses, and reputation damage.
We provide expert testing of wireless devices as an integral part of our internal onsite penetration tests, with a focus on evaluating common 802.11 (WIFI) protocols.
Our testing encompasses both infrastructure and client devices, replicating real-world attacks to identify potential vulnerabilities. Our methodology includes on-site assessments to ensure accurate threat simulation, with a focus on various wireless environments such as unencrypted WLANs, WEP, WPA/WPA2, LEAP, and 802.1X networks. Additionally, we evaluate the risks associated with home wireless setups that could impact corporate security. Our adaptable, consultancy-driven tests are designed to manage your WIFI security risks effectively.
Ensure the security of your cloud environments by rigorously testing the protections within your Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), or Software as a Service (SaaS) systems.
Ensure compliance and secure critical systems with testing services that meet regulatory standards such as PDPA, MAS TRM, PCI DSS, ICT&SS.
