The VAPT should be performed on a regular basis which evaluates an organization’s ability to protect its networks, applications, endpoints and users from external or internal attempts to circumvent its security controls to gain unauthorized access to protected assets.
The OZG Digital Forensics Center (ODFC) -
ODFC offers Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) services designed to identify and mitigate security risks in IT systems.
The methodology involves -
1️⃣ - Identifying Vulnerabilities:
Assessing both internal and external assets to pinpoint weaknesses.
2️⃣ - Risk Classification:
Categorizing vulnerabilities by severity for prioritized remediation.
3️⃣ - Penetration Testing:
Simulating attacks to evaluate the effectiveness of security measures.
4️⃣ - Continuous Monitoring:
Implementing ongoing assessments to adapt to new threats.
These services enhance an organization's security posture by providing actionable insights and compliance support, ensuring robust protection against cyber threats.
How do the costs of vulnerability assessments compare to penetration testing?
The costs of vulnerability assessments and penetration testing differ significantly due to their methodologies and depth:
- Vulnerability Assessments:
Typically range from $1,000 to $5,000 annually, depending on the scope and frequency of scans. They are largely automated, making them more cost-effective and quicker to execute.
- Penetration Testing:
Costs can vary widely, from $4,000 to over $100,000, depending on complexity and the expertise required. This is due to the manual processes involved in simulating real attacks and providing in-depth analysis.
Overall, vulnerability assessments are generally more budget-friendly than penetration tests.
