Abstract

The Internet has opened unlimited avenues of opportunity by enabling organizations to conduct business and share information on a global basis. However, it has also brought new levels of security concerns and Cyber threats. It exposes valuable corporate information, mission-critical business applications, and consumer's private information to more risk than before. But the security of IT infrastructure is something that Organizations cannot afford to compromise. Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) helps to assess the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the security infrastructure installed by the Organizations to remain protected from the emerging Cyber threats. Hence it enables the Organizations to install patches and adopt required security measures to safeguard themselves from possible Cyber attacks.
