VAPT for Mergers and Acquisitions: Security Due Diligence for Malaysian Enterprises

When acquiring another company, you inherit their entire security posture — including undiscovered vulnerabilities, technical debt, and configuration weaknesses. Pre-acquisition security assessment evaluates: the target's external attack surface, application security posture, network and infrastructure security, data protection practices, compliance status, and incident history. Post-acquisition, a comprehensive penetration test of newly integrated systems verifies that the merger hasn't introduced new attack paths between the two organisations' networks.
