Описание: In this video, we break down the key differences between vulnerability scanning and penetration testing, two essential tools in cybersecurity for federal contractors and the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). Understanding when and how to use these methods is crucial for staying compliant with regulations like DFARS, CMMC, and NIST SP 800-171.

Vulnerability Scanning is an automated process designed to find known weaknesses in your systems, while Penetration Testing simulates real-world cyberattacks to exploit vulnerabilities and assess the strength of your security measures.
