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
