penetration

While Vulnerability Assessment follows a priority driven approach to find vulnerabilities in the target and is more concentrated on ‘breadth over depth’, Penetration Testing is goal driven and focuses over ‘depth over breadth’. During Penetration Testing, the vulnerabilities or security holes found during vulnerability analysis are actively exploited to gain access to the system, escalate privileges, and cause damage, etc. Penetration Testing provides a proof-of-concept about the extent of damage that will be caused, if a particular vulnerability is exploited. It is useful for business and companies that believes their defenses are strong and they want to test that assertion. We, at SQAConsultant, perform penetration testing on the target with the mindset of a motivated hacker.
