Network and Infrastructure Vulnerability Assessments & Penetration Testing
Impervious Solutions offers comprehensive network and infrastructure vulnerability assessments and penetration tests to help organizations identify and address security risks. With the increasing complexity of network and infrastructure systems, it is critical for organizations to regularly assess their security posture and identify potential vulnerabilities.
Vulnerability assessments and Penetration testing are two different security testing techniques used to identify security risks and vulnerabilities in a system or network.
The goal of a vulnerability assessment is to identify security weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers, and to prioritize remediation efforts based on the risk level of each vulnerability. A vulnerability assessment typically involves using automated tools to scan the system for known vulnerabilities, as well as manual techniques such as reviewing system logs, configuration files, and access controls.
Penetration testing, on the other hand, is a simulated attack on a system to identify and exploit security vulnerabilities. The goal of a penetration test typically is to evaluate the existing security posture of the system or network by attempting to breach its defenses and gain unauthorized access, escalate privileges, and access sensitive data or resources. Penetration testing is typically performed by security professionals who use a combination of manual and automated techniques.
The main difference between vulnerability assessments and penetration testing is that vulnerability assessment is focused on identifying potential security weaknesses, while penetration testing is focused on exploiting those weaknesses to evaluate security posture. Vulnerability assessments are typically performed on a regular basis to maintain security, while penetration tests are typically performed less frequently and only when significant changes have been made to a system, network, or for regulatory/compliance requirements.
