Penetration testing, also known as pen testing, is a simulated cyberattack against a computer system or network to evaluate its security. Penetration testers use the same tools and techniques as attackers to find and exploit vulnerabilities in a system. This helps organizations identify and fix security weaknesses before they can be exploited by real attackers.
Vulnerability management is the process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating vulnerabilities in an organization’s systems and networks. Vulnerabilities are weaknesses in a system that can be exploited by attackers to gain unauthorized access.
The goal of vulnerability assessment is to reduce the risk of a successful cyberattack by identifying and fixing vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
