渗透测试与漏洞评估之间的差异

1.渗透测试：
进行渗透测试是为了发现漏洞，恶意内容，缺陷和风险。完成了构建组织安全系统以保护IT基础结构的工作。这是一种官方程序，可以被认为是有帮助的，而不是有害的尝试。它是道德黑客过程的一部分，在此过程中，它仅专注于渗透信息系统。

2.漏洞评估：
漏洞评估是在给定环境中查找和衡量安全漏洞(扫描)的技术。它是对信息安全状况的全方位评估(结果分析)。它用于识别潜在的弱点，并提供适当的缓解措施以消除这些弱点或降低到风险水平以下。

S.No.	Penetration Testing	Vulnerability Assessments
1.	This is meant for critical real-time systems.	This is meant for non-critical systems.
2.	This is ideal for physical environments and network architecture.	This is ideal for lab environments.
3.	It is non-intrusive, documentation and environmental review and analysis.	Comprehensive analysis and through review of the target system and its environment.
4.	It cleans up the system and gives final report.	It attempt to mitigate or eliminate the potential vulnerabilities of valuable resources.
5.	It gathers targeted information and/or inspect the system.	It allocates quantifiable value and significance to the available resources.
6.	It tests sensitive data collection.	It discovers the potential threats to each resource.
7.	It determines the scope of an attack.	It makes a directory of assets and resources in a given system.
8.	The main focus is to discovers unknown and exploitable weaknesses in normal business processes.	The main focus is to lists known software vulnerabilities that could be exploited.
