Penetration testing, also known as ethical hacking, attempts to gain unauthorized access to a computer system or network. This testing is typically conducted by security professionals who use the same tools and techniques as attackers. Penetration testing aims to identify security vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit.
Vulnerability scanning is a process of identifying known security risks in a system or network. This type of scanning can be conducted manually or using automated tools. Vulnerabilities can include unpatched software and potential security risks like weak passwords.
Before we discuss the importance of vulnerability scanning and penetration testing, let’s take a detailed look at both.
