Penetration Testing vs. Vulnerability Assessment

Penetration Testing vs. Vulnerability Assessment
A common question is how penetration testing differs from vulnerability assessment. Vulnerability assessments identify potential security issues, but penetration testing goes a step further by actively exploiting these vulnerabilities to understand the potential impact of an attack. This approach helps uncover new vulnerabilities that automated scans might miss, providing a more comprehensive security assessment.
