Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing

Vulnerability assessment and Penetration testing are two types of vulnerability testing. Both tests have different strengths and are often combined to achieve a more comprehensive vulnerability analysis. Hackers are getting more creative in the way they attempt to penetrate enterprise networks and applications. Therefore it is very important for enterprises to test the robustness of their security infrastructure and their Information Security Management System.

Vulnerability assessment tools discover which vulnerabilities are present, but they do not differentiate between flaws that can be exploited to cause damage and those that cannot. Penetration tests attempt to exploit the vulnerabilities in a system to determine whether unauthorized access or other malicious activity is possible and identify which flaws pose a threat to the application or network. CyberShelter’s 'Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing' service uses a combination of state-of-art tools and experienced ethical hackers with appropriate certifications like CEH that help organizations conduct intelligent vulnerability assessments and penetration tests. Our experts perform both dynamic and static code analysis to find not only flaws in code but also to determine if there are any missing functionalities whose absence could lead to security breaches. They simulate the tools, tactics and procedures (TTPs) of real-world attackers who target high-risk cyber assets that you identify as critical. Armed with many years of experience in this field and exposure to a wide range of industry verticals and operating systems, applications, networks and security devices, we conduct black box, gray box and white hat penetration tests to help customers improve their security infrastructure and information security policies. The CyberShelter team attempts to breach your environment, maintain persistence, escalate privileges, and obtains access to key systems, generate fake data that emulates sensitive production data, and simulate data theft. These assessments focus on non-disruptive tactics to achieve objectives, similar to the way real attackers operate.
