Exam CV0-003 topic 1 question 52 discussion

C. Vulnerability testing Vulnerability testing, or vulnerability assessment, is a security practice that helps identify weaknesses or vulnerabilities in an organization's infrastructure and applications. It involves scanning systems and applications for known vulnerabilities and potential security issues. This proactive approach allows the company to identify and address security weaknesses before they can be exploited by malicious actors. The other options are not focused on security assessments: A. Performance testing is about evaluating the performance characteristics of applications but doesn't primarily address security. B. Penetration testing involves simulating cyberattacks to identify vulnerabilities but is typically done periodically or on an ad-hoc basis and may not cover regular security assessments. D. Regression testing is a testing technique to ensure that new code changes do not negatively impact existing functionality but is not focused on security checks.

C. Vulnerability testing: Also known as vulnerability scanning, this process involves using automated tools to regularly scan systems and applications for known vulnerabilities. This helps in identifying security issues continuously and ensuring they are addressed promptly.

An infrastructure and app scan is more a pentest than a vultest.
