Senior Associate - VAPT

A vulnerability analyst, also known as a penetration tester, searches for and exploits security vulnerabilities in webbased applications, systems, and networks. VAPT stands for Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing. It helps organizations identify and fix security weaknesses before attackers can use them. VAPT also helps organizations meet regulatory compliance requirements and protect their reputations.
