What is Web Application Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT)?

Web application penetration testing is a security practice where simulated cyber-attacks are performed on a web application to identify and exploit vulnerabilities. The goal is to determine the security posture of the web application by performing attacks using sophisticated techniques.

This type of testing helps organizations understand the effectiveness of their security measures and identify areas that need improvement to protect against real-world threats. It’s a crucial part of maintaining robust cybersecurity defenses for any web-based application.
