Course Overview
The Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) course equips learners with the skills to identify, exploit, and remediate vulnerabilities across networks, systems, web applications, and modern environments such as cloud, IoT, and OT. With hands-on labs and tools like Nmap, Nessus, Burp Suite, and Metasploit, participants gain real-world experience in simulating attacks, bypassing defenses, and documenting findings. The course also emphasizes ethical hacking, legal compliance, and clear reporting to strengthen organizational security posture.

Overview of Technology
VAPT blends vulnerability scanning with penetration testing to provide a full picture of security risks. Learners will work with industry-standard tools (Nmap, OpenVAS, Nessus, Burp Suite, Metasploit, Wireshark), apply methodologies (OWASP, CVSS), and explore advanced testing areas including wireless, IoT, and cloud environments. AI/ML-driven approaches are also introduced for modern vulnerability analysis.
