Cloud Penetration Testing

Secure Your Multi-Cloud Infrastructure

Comprehensive security assessments for AWS, Azure, and GCP environments including IAM, storage, serverless, and container testing.

What Is Cloud Penetration Testing?

Cloud penetration testing is a comprehensive security assessment of your cloud infrastructure, applications, and services. We simulate real-world attacks against your AWS, Azure, GCP, and hybrid cloud environments to identify misconfigurations, insecure APIs, inadequate access controls, and other vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. Our testing covers infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS), software-as-a-service (SaaS), and serverless architectures.

Why Cloud Testing Matters

Shared Responsibility Model

Cloud providers secure the infrastructure, but you're responsible for securing your configurations, applications, and data. Penetration testing identifies where your security gaps exist.

Complexity & Scale

Cloud environments contain hundreds or thousands of resources with complex interdependencies. Manual security reviews miss vulnerabilities that automated testing and expert analysis can uncover.

Rapid Deployment Risks

Cloud's agility enables quick resource provisioning, but often without comprehensive security review. Penetration testing validates that deployments don't introduce security weaknesses.

Data Breach Impact

Cloud environments often contain sensitive data. Testing identifies data exposure risks from misconfigured storage, inadequate IAM policies, and lateral movement paths.

What We Test

AWS Environment

EC2 instances, S3 buckets, RDS databases, Lambda functions, IAM policies, VPCs, security groups, and CloudFront distributions.

Azure Environment

Virtual machines, storage accounts, Azure SQL databases, App Services, Azure Functions, role-based access control (RBAC), and network security groups.

GCP Environment

Compute Engine instances, Cloud Storage buckets, Cloud SQL databases, Cloud Functions, IAM policies, and Virtual Private Clouds.

Identity & Access Management

Overly permissive IAM policies, service account misconfigurations, cross-account access issues, and privilege escalation paths.

Serverless & Containers

Lambda/Function misconfigurations, container image vulnerabilities, Kubernetes security, and container registry access controls.

APIs & Services

API Gateway configurations, service-to-service communication, data exposure through APIs, and authentication/authorization mechanisms.

Our Cloud Testing Methodology

1. Cloud Environment Enumeration

We inventory your cloud resources, identify configuration details, enumerate IAM permissions, and discover exposed endpoints and APIs.

2. Vulnerability & Misconfiguration Discovery

We identify overly permissive IAM policies, insecure storage configurations, exposed credentials, unencrypted data, weak network segmentation, and CIS Benchmark violations.

3. Exploitation & Lateral Movement

We attempt to exploit discovered vulnerabilities, escalate privileges, move laterally between resources, and access sensitive data to demonstrate real-world impact.

4. Data Access & Exfiltration Testing

We test whether sensitive data stored in databases, storage services, and applications is adequately protected and accessible only to authorized users.

5. Comprehensive Reporting & Remediation

We provide detailed findings with prioritized recommendations, remediation steps, and architectural improvements to secure your cloud infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cloud platforms do you test?

We provide comprehensive penetration testing for AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and hybrid multi-cloud environments. Our testing covers infrastructure, applications, and services running on these platforms.

How do you test cloud infrastructure without disrupting production?

We work with your team to identify non-production environments for testing or establish controlled test windows. Our testing methodology is designed to be non-destructive while remaining thorough in identifying vulnerabilities.

What are the main cloud security vulnerabilities you test for?

We test for misconfigured IAM policies, exposed storage buckets, insecure serverless configurations, container escape vulnerabilities, API weaknesses, unrestricted security groups, and data exfiltration paths.

Do cloud penetration tests help with compliance requirements?

Yes, our cloud penetration testing assessments support compliance with PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and CMMC 2.0 requirements.

How long does a cloud penetration test typically take?

Manual cloud penetration tests typically take 2-4 weeks depending on environment complexity, the number of cloud services in scope, and integration with your infrastructure. We'll provide a timeline estimate after initial scoping.
