Network Security FAQs

What is the difference between a Network Vulnerability Assessment and a Network Penetration Test?

A vulnerability assessment (VA) is an automated way to gather data about issues on your network, such as missing patches or bad configurations. A penetration test almost always includes a VA to inform the testing. It uses the VA and other data obtained via reconnaissance to attempt to exploit any vulnerabilities identified and gain some level of unintended access to systems or data.

So, while a VA will inform you on “how vulnerable you are,” a penetration test will inform you as to whether those vulnerabilities can be exploited and, if so, what the impact could be to your organization.
