Better Together:
Vulnerability scanning and penetration testing are most effective when used together. Scanning gives you continuous visibility into weaknesses, while penetration testing shows how those weaknesses could be exploited in the real world. By combining both, you gain a complete view of your security posture and a clear, prioritized roadmap for improvement.
