It would be incorrect to choose the “leader” in the vulnerability scan vs penetration test pair. Penetration testing is often considered to be more thorough than the second option. And it is really so, as on the one hand, a manual procedure can bring better results and provide deeper insights than automated tools. Nevertheless, it’s important to understand that pen testing is focused mainly on those vulnerabilities that can’t be detected automatically. It means that both of the processes under consideration often have different areas of application and can be viewed as feasible options in different cases.
