渗透测试和漏洞评估之间的差异

1.渗透测试：
渗透测试是为了发现漏洞、恶意内容、缺陷和风险。这样做是为了建立组织的安全系统来保护 IT 基础设施。这是一个官方程序，可以被认为是有帮助的，而不是有害的尝试。它是道德黑客攻击过程的一部分，它专门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发现和衡量安全漏洞(扫描)的技术。它是对信息安全位置的全方位评估(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将其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.
