Cloud penetration testing is a specialized form of security assessment specifically designed for cloud environments hosted by providers like AWS or Azure. These assessments aim to evaluate the effectiveness of security controls within the cloud infrastructure. By safely identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities, cloud penetration testing helps organizations proactively address security weaknesses before they can be exploited by malicious actors, minimizing the risk of data breaches and ensuring the continued security of their cloud-based operations.
The benefits of cloud security testing include:
Improved understanding of cloud security risks, Vulnerabilities fixed before they can be maliciously exploited, Independent validation of cloud security controls, Clearer demonstration of commitment to security to external stakeholders, Better prioritisation of future security investments, Enhanced support of data security compliance mandates
Our range of cloud security assessments are designed to identify some of the biggest and most common threats to cloud environments, including:
Authentication flaws
Unpatched vulnerabilities
Application misconfigurations
Poor privilege management
Poor password management
Insufficient log management
Whether you require a traditional cloud penetration test, encompassing internal and external assessments, or a focused cloud configuration review to ensure compliance with best practices, our team of experts possesses the knowledge and experience to effectively address your specific security needs.
We adhere to proven methodologies and rigorously assess your cloud environments against industry-recognized benchmarks like the CIS Controls. While prior authorization for cloud penetration testing is no longer strictly required, it's crucial to adhere to the specific rules of engagement outlined by each cloud provider. Our seasoned cloud security testing experts are well-versed in navigating these complexities and possess in-depth knowledge of major cloud platforms, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Azure AD, and Microsoft 365.
