Abstract
The Internet has drastically changed in the past decade. Now internet has more business than before and therefore there is a increase in Advanced Persistent Threat groups and Adversaries. After all the advancement in technology and innovation Web application Security is still a challenge for most of the organization all over the world, Because every time APT’s groups and Threat actors uses different Tactics Techniques and Procedure TTPs for exploiting any organization. There can be many techniques to mitigate such attacks such as defensive coding, hardening system firewall, implementing IDS and IPS using of SIEM tools etc. The solution contains monitoring different logs, events and regular assessment of organizations network which is known as Vulnerability Assessment which is a generalized or a sequenced review of a security system and the other one is penetration testing also known popularly as ethical hacking or red teaming assessment where the client’s poses themselves as real Hackers and try to penetrate into the company’s network to check if it’s really secure or not.In this paper we will be comparing these two methods and techniques and also decide at the end which of the above two method is more superior and why.
