What is VAPT Testing and VAPT Types?

Vulnerabilityassessment and penetration testing is a phenomena in which the IT environment systems such as computers and networks are scanned in order to identify the presence of vulnerabilities associated with them. As per the information provided by the latest survey more than 80% of websites are vulnerable, especially those which are created by using any engine such as WordPress, BlogSpot etc. leading to the leak of sensitive corporate information and data such as passwords, credit card info etc.

Basically, Black hats are concentrating their efforts on web-based applications – shopping carts, forms, login pages, dynamic content, etc. Accessible 24/7 from anywhere in the world, insecure web applications provide easy access to back-end corporate databases.

First of all let you introduce with the very initial step of VAPT which is often preferred as modes of testing which are categorized into three parts :-

White Box Testing: White box testing refers to the phenomena of performing the test from within the network with the prior knowledge of the network architecture and the systems. This is also referred to as internal testing.

Black Box Testing: it refers to testing from an external network with no prior knowledge of the internal networks and systems.

Gray Box Testing: Grey box testing is the process of testing from an external or internal network, with knowledge of the internal networks and systems. Basically it is a combination of black box testing and white box testing.
