Cloud Penetration Testing

Background

What is Cloud penetration testing?

Cloud Penetration Testing is an authorized simulated cyber-attack against a system that is hosted on a Cloud provider, e.g. Amazon’s AWS, Google Cloud Platform or Microsoft’s Azure.

check Fixes vulnerabilities before they are exploited by cybercriminals

check Provides independent assurance of security controls

check Improves awareness and understanding of cyber security risks

check Demonstrates a continuous commitment to security

check Supplies the insight needed to prioritise future security investments


Why your organization needs a cloud pen test

With threats constantly evolving, it’s recommended that every organisation commissions cloud penetration testing at least once a year, but more frequently when:

check Making significant changes to infrastructure

check Preparing for compliance with security standards

check Launching new products and services

check Bidding for large commercial contracts

check Utilising and/or developing custom applications

check Undergoing a business merger or acquisition


Threats

Biggest Cloud Security Threats

check Unauthorized Access

check Insecure Interfaces/APIs

check Misconfiguration of the cloud platform

check Hijacking of accounts services or traffic

check External sharing of data

check Malicious insiders

Vulnerabilities and Reporting

Our Cloud Security Services

Cloud Configuration Review is an assessment of your Cloud configuration against the accepted best practice of industry benchmarks. A report is produced with a summary table showing the benchmarks and whether you are following the best practice, with individual technical findings breaking the findings down in more detail, as well as detailed explanations and remediation advice.

Cloud Penetration Testing involves a mixture of external and internal penetration testing techniques to examine the external posture of the organisation. Examples of vulnerabilities determined by this type of active testing can include unprotected storage blobs and S3 buckets, servers with management ports open to the internet and poor egress controls.


Cloud Testing, whether a configuration review, a penetration test, or both, focuses primarily around examining the protection on these key areas:

check Enumeration of external attack surface

check Authentication and Authorization Testing

check Virtual Machines / EC2

check Storage and Databases
