Network Security Risk Assessment

Network Vulnerability Assessment &
Pen-Testing

A Network vulnerability scan detects and classifies system weaknesses in computers, networks and communications equipment and predicts the effectiveness of countermeasures. A scan may be performed by an organization’s IT department or a security service provide, possibly as a condition imposed by some authority.

What is Network VA-PT All About?

Network VAPT is the assessment procedure that is conducted by safety experts on the user’s network for identifying possible vulnerabilities that the attackers might exploit. The primary objective of a network penetration test is to recognize the exploitable vulnerabilities in the systems, networks, network devices (i.e., switches, routers), and hosts before hackers can discover as well as exploit them.

As the global online presence grows in intensity and quality, so does the number of cyber risks linked with it. We must constantly monitor network security, web apps, devices, servers, and so on, and create better ways to do so while responding to increasingly serious online security threats.

 

Through the practice of 'ethical hacking' and simulated threats, network penetration testing can assist you in identifying such cybersecurity flaws before they severely influence your system.

 

In this context, network penetration testing (or pen-test for short) is a critical technique for detecting security misconfigurations and the potential exposure of vulnerabilities and threats that might impair any organization's Computer networks, websites, servers, and other applications when exploited by hackers.

Touch-Points of Network Penetration Testing

IT infrastructure is critical to the day-to-day operations and management of enterprises. Cyberattacks can originate both inside and outside of the organization.

The goal of an infrastructure or network penetration testing is to test the security of paths that can be attacked from the outside (IPs, servers) or from the inside (networks) (servers, workstations, network devices).

Steps in Network Penetration Testing process

The first stage is determining the scope and terms of the security assessment. The audit’s preparation phase will then allow the essential information, as well as any technical access required, to be passed on to the pentest team. Before the pentests begin, an emergency communication plan is set in place.

The external technique entails running tests remotely, but the internal approach necessitates penetration testers being present on the premises of the audited organization.

The response from the results enables the presentation of the identified vulnerabilities, as well as their concrete impact on the firm, and the technological solutions to remedy these issues.
