Characteristics

Vulnerability Assessment, also known as Vulnerability Testing, is a test that assesses security risks in IT systems in order to minimise the possibility of threats, such as intruders gaining unauthorised access. QAVALUE uses a four-step methodology to identify existing vulnerabilities. First, information recollection; second, threat modelling; third, vulnerability analysis and finally, reporting. By doing so, QAVALUE covers the classes of vulnerabilities contained in the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES), among other standards.
