Technology is one of the best boon created by people, for people, to people, since it is bringing people together, it has become the strongest driving force for all the industries to succeed and evolve. In the journey to discover innovation, technology is embracing uniqueness of every aspect of business, in one or the other way. While planning, evaluating, and executing minor to major possibilities and introducing high-end products, services, and solutions in the market, plethora of issues pop up in the form of virus, flaws, and vulnerabilities. To analyze preexisting flaws or expected flaws, the experts have successfully discovered tests that not only alert what problem has occurred; in fact it will also educate what made that problem occur and why it has occurred. And the assessment test is known as Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing which helps in finding vulnerabilities, malicious content, flaws, and risks.

Vulnerabilities exist in all levels of a computing system (on-premise and cloud) regardless of the organization’s size. There’s a big misconception that small and medium-sized businesses are spared by cyber attackers. But this is far from reality. As the security of small businesses is usually relaxed, attackers incline towards them. Many times, organizations say they don’t require vulnerability risk assessments because they’re such a small organization. But this false belief could prove very costly for a business, big or small – SME or MNC. The security loopholes in your IT infrastructure are

Both tests work together to encourage optimal network and application security. Vulnerability scans are great weekly, monthly, or quarterly insight into your network security (the quick X-ray), while penetration tests are a very thorough way to deeply examine your network security (the periodic detailed MRI). Yes, penetration tests are expensive, but you are paying a professional to examine every nook and cranny of your business the way a real world attacker would, to find a possibility of compromise.
