Cybersecurity - VA/PT

Fuzail Al Arabia Co. Ltd formerly known as Al Fuzail is brand that was formed in the year 2006 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Jeddah.

One of the most critical parts of cybersecurity is vulnerability assessment (VA) and penetration testing (PT), conducted in order to identify the vulnerable spots in security of an organisation’s systems and networks.

In this methodology of security testing, IT systems such as mobiles, computers, networks, operating systems, application and other softwares are scanned to identify the loop holes. VAPT is amalgamation of two complementary processes.

Vulnerability assessment provides a comprehensive overview of potential vulnerabilities by identifying the known weaknesses that can be exploited by attackers by scanning the systems, networks, and applications.

Penetration testing or ethical hacking is responsible for determining the depth of the attack one can do by exploiting the identified vulnerabilities while simulating the real-world attacks on the system.

What Does the VAPT Process Look Like?

The whole process of identifying vulnerabilities involves five key stages:

Reconnaissance: Probing how weak or strong the target system’s defence is to identify potential entry points
Scanning: Active devices or services are discovered using some of the automated tools
Vulnerability Assessment: Identifying known weak points in the scanned systems.
Exploitation: Known vulnerabilities’ severity and potential impact are identified by deliberate exploitation
Reporting: Documenting the detailed report which includes identified vulnerabilities, exploitation results, and troubleshooting process

What are the Different Types of VAPT?

Based on the working, there are 4 major types of VAPT, namely:

1. Internal VAPT

Sole focus is on assessing the internal network’s security
Internal servers, databases, and applications’ vulnerabilities are identified from inside the organization

2. External VAPT

Vulnerabilities which can be exploited by external attackers are identified from outside the organization’s network
Public-facing applications and services are scanned in it

3. Web Application Testing

Identifies vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure configurations on web applications

4. Network Penetration Testing

Identifies exploitable weaknesses in network infrastructure by assessing the security of network devices like routers and switches

Why are the Benefits of Vulnerability and Penetration Testing?

In the ever evolving world of digitalisation, securing the continuity of businesses by evading the threats is of vital importance today. Some of the benefits of VAPT are:

Enhanced security by identification of security weakness
Informed decision making by enabling data driven security investments
Low data breach chances contribute to better protection of sensitive data
Trust Building or Reputation Protection in the market due to robust security practices
Improved defence mechanisms as the insights with respect to loopholes is regularly provided
Legal obligations can be met by conducting regular VAPT as a part of compliance mandates
