What this webinar is about
Every week, businesses find out the hard way that their defenses had gaps. The question is rarely whether there was a way in. It's whether anyone looked, and whether anyone was watching. This session is about both halves of that equation: how skilled attackers actually probe a business, and how you can turn the same environment into a trap that catches them first.
We'll walk through what a real vulnerability and penetration test (VAPT) looks like from the inside: white box, gray box, and black box approaches, what each one actually uncovers, and where each one stops. Then we'll flip the script and look at cyber deception: canaries, tokens, and honeypots placed throughout your environment so the attacker trips them, not your team. Designed for IT leaders, founders, and directors who want to understand both sides of offensive security without getting lost in the tooling.
This is not a vendor pitch or a tooling review. It is not a technical masterclass either. The goal is to leave you with a clear mental model of how attackers operate against businesses like yours, and what options you have to detect them before they cause harm.
What you'll learn
- What vulnerability and penetration testing actually covers, and the real difference between a scan and a pentest.
- The three common engagement models (white box, gray box, black box), and when each one is the right call.
- A practical view of what a VAPT engagement with Aegix looks like, and how to know when your business is ready for one.
- How cyber deception works: the role of canaries, tokens, and honeypots in catching attackers early.
- How deception signals feed into a SOC or SIEM, and why they produce some of the most reliable alerts in security.
