# Configuring Application Vulnerability Response

Before you run Application Vulnerability Response in your ServiceNow AI Platform instance, you must configure it.

-   **[Configure Application Vulnerability Response](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/application-vulnerability-response/configure-avm.md)**  
Do the following setup steps prior to configuration so that you can ensure that your configuration is complete.
-   **[Configure penetration testing](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/application-vulnerability-response/pen-test-config-v16-1.md)**  
You can configure the sprint duration and estimated effort for penetration testing assessment types. This provides the scheduling functionality for application owners, helping them determine a tentative time frame for their penetration test assessment requests.
