VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT AND PENETRATION TESTING

Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing

In this modern world, all of the persons are using the facility of internet. SECURITY is one of the major issue of the internet. Everyday highly skilled hackers breach the security and take the advantage of vulnerabilities to access the confidential data. To overcome this problem one solution was suggested named Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT). Vulnerability Assessment i...

Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Assessments: A Professional Approach

Attacks against computer systems and the data contained within these systems are becoming increasingly frequent and evermore sophisticated. So-called “zero-day” exploits can be purchased on black markets and Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) can lead to exfiltration of data over extended periods. Organisations wishing to ensure security of their systems may look towards adopting appropriate me...

Penetration Testing

The TCB shall be found resistant to penetration. Near flawless penetration testing is a requirement for high-rated secure systems — those rated above B1 based on the Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria (TCSEC) and its Trusted Network and Database Interpretations (TNI and TDI). Unlike security functional testing, which demonstrates correct behavior of the product's advertised security co...

The simulated security assessment ecosystem: Does penetration testing need standardisation?

Simulated security assessments (a collective term used here for penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, and related nomenclature) may need standardisation, but not in the commonly assumed manner of practical assessment methodologies. Instead, this study highlights market failures within the providing industry at the beginning and ending of engagements, which has left clients receiving am...
