CLOUD PENTEST
Safeguard your cloud environment with expert-led assessments
As organisations increasingly move data and applications to the cloud, it’s vital to ensure their cyber security efforts don’t stop at the network perimeter. Cloud penetration testing simulates an attack on a cloud environment to evaluate its defence mechanisms and find any vulnerabilities. It aims to discover weaknesses in the configuration of cloud services that malicious actors could use to compromise data or systems.
Due to the number of services offered in the cloud, a cloud penetration test can take many forms. Depending on your organisation’s utilisation of the cloud, testing may involve evaluating the following:.
Microsoft 365 environment
Internal cloud virtual networks
Externally available services such as web applications and APIs
Functions as a Service (AWS Lambda / Azure Functions)
Cloud-based virtual machines and containers
User access permissions
Detect weak links across cloud infrastructure and configurations
What is cloud penetration testing?
Cloud penetration testing is a form of security assessment conducted on an environment hosted by a cloud service provider such as Amazon’s AWS or Microsoft Azure. Cloud pen testing is designed to gauge the effectiveness of security controls and identify, safely exploit and help to remediate vulnerabilities before they are compromised by malicious adversaries..
Whether you’re looking for a cloud penetration test utilising traditional internal and external assessment techniques, or a cloud configuration review to compare configurations against best practice, our experts are well-placed to assist..
An assessment scans and analyses your technology systems, identifying security gaps and prioritising vulnerabilities based on their severity.
Identifying the weaknesses that malicious individuals can exploit is the first step in determining how exposed your web applications are to attack..
Conducting a vulnerability assessment provides valuable insights into your security posture and the proactive measures you can take to address and mitigate any chinks in your armour.
Types of cloud penetration testing
We follow tried and tested methodologies to rigorously assess your environments and measure them against CIS benchmarks. While cloud pen testing no longer requires prior authorisation, testers are must follow rules of engagement outlined by cloud providers.
Our cloud security testing experts are well-versed in navigating these rules and can perform testing on a range of environments, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Azure AD, and Microsoft 365.
