Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing

VAPT certification in South Africa (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) is a technique to protect your organization against external and internal threats by identifying them before they are exploited by hackers. Penetration testers act as if they are hackers and attempt to hack into your systems, thus identifying where your weaknesses are.

Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) is a field of cyber security that is focused on identifying different vulnerabilities present in the organization’s network, applications, and existing cyber security measures.

Although Organizations concentrate on physical threat but truth is that the necessity of Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing is usually overlooked by organizations; on the contrary every organization is a potential target for hackers.
