Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) is a structured cybersecurity process designed to detect, analyze, and address vulnerabilities in systems, networks, and applications. It combines two key approaches: Vulnerability Assessment (VA): Focuses on identifying security weaknesses in a system. Penetration Testing (PT): Simulates real-world attacks to determine how exploitable those weaknesses are.
VAPT helps organizations stay ahead of cyber threats by proactively identifying and fixing security gaps before they can be exploited. The process involves: Vulnerability Assessment (Scanning tools and manual techniques are used to detect vulnerabilities). Penetration Testing (Ethical hackers simulate real-world attacks to assess how these vulnerabilities can be exploited).
With the rise of AI-driven cyberattacks and automated hacking tools in 2025, VAPT has become even more critical. Businesses need to test their defenses regularly to ensure resilience against evolving threats.
