A Security operations center is a 24×7 operation focused on remediating security threats. In today’s digital world, hackers are getting cleverer by every day. Therefore, SOC with cutting-edge technology needs to be leveraged by every company to detect, triage, and defect the security threats.

Vulnerability Assessment is the process of identifying known vulnerabilities, classifying them according to their severity, and providing solutions to address them.
Penetration Testing, in contrast, is a more comprehensive approach that includes identifying vulnerabilities and exploiting them using real-world methods. It also helps identify the potential impact of discovered vulnerabilities on business operations and provides recommendations to address those weaknesses.

Conducting Pentesting can provide an in-depth and detailed report containing an executive summary of the results, highlighted security concerns, and recommendations. This report allows organizations to understand where their security is weak and how it may affect their operations.

The duration of Pentesting depends on several factors such as the type of testing, the number of systems to be tested, and the strength and complexity of the current security architecture. Depending on these conditions, it may take anywhere from one to four weeks.

Once the security recommendations have been implemented, you can conduct Remediation Verification Penetration Testing to validate if the appropriate measures have been taken to counter the risks identified during the initial Pentesting.
