Two Tools, One Strategy: Pairing Vulnerability Scanning and Pen Testing for Maximum Protection

• Penetration Testing and Managed Vulnerability Scanning (MVS): Understand the essential differences between these two critical cybersecurity practices.
• What is Managed Vulnerability Scanning? Learn how MVS provides continuous, automated visibility into your network’s assets and known vulnerabilities.
• The Role of Penetration Testing: Discover how targeted, manual, and semi-automated simulations offer deeper validation and contextual understanding of risk by simulating real-world attacks.

Penetration Testing and Managed Vulnerability Scanning (MVS) are often mentioned in the same breath, yet their true value emerges when they are combined. Each plays a distinct role in building a strong Offensive Security program, and together they form a powerful foundation for reducing risk and improving resilience.
