How are VAPT and pentesting different?

VAPT is a comprehensive testing approach that involves vulnerability assessment and penetration testing. On the other hand, pen testing is only focused on performing simulated real-world attacks on a specific type of asset.

How frequently should you conduct VAPT?

It is a continuous process instead of a one-time activity. You can use VAPT tools to continuously scan, detect, and remediate vulnerabilities. However, this is even more important when there are changes in the application or a new application is deployed.

How much does VAPT cost?

The cost of VAPT services varies based on many external or internal factors like the size of the system to be tested, the scope, testing methods, complexity of infrastructure, etc. Moreover, the average VAPT testing cost lies between $300 - $5,000.
