Vulnerability assessment

At times, organizations might want only to identify the vulnerabilities that exist in their systems without actually exploiting them and gaining access. Vulnerability assessments are broader than penetration tests. The end result of vulnerability assessment is a report prioritizing the vulnerabilities found, with the most severe ones listed at the top and the ones posing a lesser risk appearing lower in the report. This report is very helpful for clients who know that they have security issues and who need to identify and prioritize the most critical ones.
