VAPT - VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT AND PENETRATION TESTING
What is VAPT?
Vulnerability assessment is a process in which the IT systems such as computers and networks, and software such as operating systems and application software are scanned in order to identify the presence of known and unknown vulnerabilities. As many as 70% of web sites have vulnerabilities that could lead to the theft of sensitive corporate data such as credit card information and customer lists. Hackers are concentrating their efforts on web-based applications - shopping carts, forms, login pages, dynamic content, etc.
Why do Organisations need VAPT?
Doing business online has always been a risk. It's a world of unforeseen traps, with vulnerabilities and threats manifesting themselves in the least expected place, at the least expected hour. With Port 80 always open for web Access there is always a possibility that a Hacker can beat your Security systems and have an unauthorized access to your network and web Applications.
And why Organisations need Security Experts ?
