Vulnerability assessment testing refers to the process of assessing the security risk of software systems. The main aim of vulnerability assessment testing is to lessen the chances of hackers getting unauthorized access to the system. This testing system works on a particular mechanism known as Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing(VAPT) or VAPT testing.
The term vulnerability refers to various errors and weaknesses in the system’s security process, implementation, and design leading to violation of the system’s security policy. At Maticore, we have a team of experienced professionals to help you throughout the vulnerability assessment testing process.
What is the need for Vulnerability Assessment Testing?
Vulnerability assessment testing is quite essential for the security of an organization. It is all about detecting and reporting vulnerabilities to make sure they get resolved before anyone else finds out.
The areas that are scrutinized in this testing process are application software and operating systems. All of this is done to identify vulnerabilities like insecure authentication, poor program design, etc.
Our Process of Vulnerability Assessment Testing
Vulnerability Analysis Goals and Objectives
First of all, we define the goals and objectives of vulnerability analysis.
Scope
Before starting the testing process and assessment, we make sure to understand the scope of the project.
Vulnerability Detection
We scan the IT environment and find vulnerabilities with the help of vulnerability scanners.
Information Analysis and Planning
Here, we will assess the flaws that we come across during the testing process. After that, we work on creating a new strategy for breaking into the network and systems.
Major Advantages of Vulnerability Assessment Testing
- Availability of open source tools.
- With vulnerability assessment testing, you can detect each vulnerability.
- It scans everything automatically.
- Last but not least, it is quite easy to use.
