External & Internal Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) are essential components of cybersecurity practices designed to identify and address weaknesses in an organization’s computer systems, networks, and applications. At E-Panzer our assessments help organizations proactively identify vulnerabilities and security weaknesses, allowing them to take appropriate actions to mitigate potential threats.

The Benefits of External and Internal Vulnerability Assessments and Penetration testing.

External Vulnerability Assessments

• Purpose: External vulnerability assessments focus on identifying security weaknesses from an outside perspective, simulating the perspective of an attacker who is trying to gain unauthorized access to an organization’s network or systems.
  • Scope: This assessment typically evaluates the security of external-facing systems, such as web servers, email servers, firewalls, and other network perimeter devices.
  • Methods: At E-Panzer, we use tools and techniques to discover vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and weaknesses that could be exploited by malicious actors. We assess the external attack surface of the organization.
  • Outcome: A list of vulnerabilities and recommendations for remediation is generated. This information helps organizations prioritize and address external security risks.

Internal Vulnerability Assessment:

• Purpose: Internal vulnerability assessments focus on evaluating the security posture from within the organization’s network. It aims to identify potential security risks and vulnerabilities that could be exploited by insiders or attackers who have already gained access.
  • Scope: This assessment typically includes internal network devices, servers, workstations, databases, and other critical assets within the organization’s network.
  • Methods: At E-Panzer we use tools and techniques to discover vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and weaknesses that may not be visible from external scans. They assess the internal attack surface of the organization.
  • Outcome: Similar to external assessments, the outcome includes a list of vulnerabilities and recommendations for remediation. This information helps organizations strengthen their internal security.

Penetration Testing:

• • Purpose: Penetration testing (often referred to as “pen testing”) goes beyond vulnerability assessment by actively attempting to exploit identified vulnerabilities to assess the actual impact of a successful attack.
  • Scope: Penetration tests can target both external and internal systems, and the scope can vary from specific applications or systems to the entire network infrastructure.
  • Methods: At E-Panzer we use skilled ethical hackers, known as penetration testers, to exploit vulnerabilities in a controlled and authorized manner. They simulate real-world attack scenarios to assess an organization’s ability to defend against them.
  • Outcome: Detailed reports are generated, highlighting successful exploits, the extent of damage that could be done, and recommendations for remediation. Penetration testing helps organizations understand the real-world risks they face and fine-tune their security measures.

The experts at E-Panzer understand that VAPT is an ongoing process, as new vulnerabilities emerge regularly due to software updates, changes in network configurations, and evolving threats. Regular assessments and testing help organizations stay ahead of potential security risks and maintain a strong cybersecurity posture.
