Vulnerability Assessment (VA) and Penetration Testing (PT) are two types of vulnerability testing performed by any organization. Both the tests have different strengths and are often combined to achieve a more complete vulnerability analysis. So, Vulnerability Assessments & Penetration Testing perform two different tasks, usually with different results, within the same area of focus.
