Despite significant investments in cybersecurity technologies and services, many organizations remain vulnerable. One of the myriad reasons is the lack of alignment between cybersecurity strategies and specific risks each organization faces. This is where risk-aligned cybersecurity comes into play, ensuring that defenses are tailored to the unique challenges and threats an organization faces, ultimately building greater resilience.

Cloud security refers to the comprehensive set of measures and technologies designed to protect data, applications, and infrastructure within cloud environments. As more businesses migrate to cloud platforms, safeguarding these environments becomes critical. The shift to cloud brings efficiency, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, but given the rising trends of cyber-attacks, it also introduces new security challenges that must be addressed to ensure sensitive data remains protected.

In cybersecurity, vulnerability assessment and penetration testing are often discussed together, but they serve distinct purposes in securing a network. Organizations looking to strengthen their cybersecurity defenses must understand the differences between the two, as well as when and how to use each. This blog explores the difference between vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, and why a combined approach can be essential in achieving the most robust security strategy.
