Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT)
Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT) is a structured security testing approach that combines automated Vulnerability Assessment with manual Penetration Testing to identify, validate, and prioritize security issues in web applications. Web VAPT helps organizations uncover weaknesses such as insecure configurations, outdated components, and coding flaws before they can be exploited.

Why Web Application VAPT matters
Web applications process sensitive business and customer data and are continuously exposed to internet-based threats. Security flaws in authentication, session management, APIs, and third-party components can lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, and service disruption.
Web Application VAPT helps organizations detect vulnerabilities, understand their business impact, and confirm whether security controls are functioning effectively. It also supports compliance with standards such as PCI DSS, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR.
Regular Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing improves application resilience and helps protect critical systems from evolving cyber threats.
