Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing

With our extensive knowledge, using Industry leading tool and expert resources, Wydur can deliver VAPT engagements for large and complex assets that can be both internal to an organization or external facing. These can include servers, devices, endpoints, web and mobile applications.

Below is a high-level methodology that we use to perform Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing services using our Wydur platform.

Assessment target types

  • Black box testing (targets with no info for testers)
  • Gray box testing (targets with little to no info)
  • White box testing (targets with little to full info/access/credentials)

Our skilled and expert team of pentesters use advanced tools, processes and industry leading frameworks to identify cyber risks. Results from our assessment phase will include remediation’s which will be classified based on its criticality and impact that will be bucketed into most critical (immediate), short-term strategy, mid-term strategy and long-term strategy. By this Wydur will provide and work alongside its customer to mitigate the risks and improve its overall cybersecurity posture.

Why do organizations need Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing?

Any organization today are a potential target to hackers, some of the many vulnerabilities that are exposed to hackers to penetrate have below weaknesses;

  • Poorly configured systems and networks
  • Not well architected networks and perimeters
  • Poorly defined identity management
  • Complex network and software systems
  • Poor or no information security practices, which includes people, processes and technology
  • Poor vendor or third-party management processes

What are the common vulnerabilities or gaps that hackers exploit?

  • Lack of asset inventory and loosely coupled entities and networks
  • Internet facing assets that need to expose services for users (internal or external)
  • Cloud hosted assets and services
  • Operations Technology (OT) that are connected to internet
  • Server and network environment with de-centralized patch management systems and processes
  • Lack of patch management process for third-party applications
  • Longer patching and configuration remediation cycles
  • Web and database applications which hosts critical data or business applications
  • Custom or in-house build applications with poor bug fixing cycles
