Introduction to vulnerability assessment:

It is a process of reviewing security of the system and finding weaknesses in that system. After
finding weaknesses, recommended remedies or mitigation methods are suggested as solutions.
 A vulnerability assessment is an automated test, meaning a tool does all of the work and
generates the report at the end. Penetration testing, on the other hand, is a manual
process relying on the knowledge and experience of a penetration tester to identify
vulnerabilities within an organization’s systems.
