Cloud Penetration Testing


Cloud Penetration Testing simulates real-world cyberattacks to find and exploit vulnerabilities in cloud environments. It assesses the security of cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, including VMs, storage, APIs, databases, and IAM settings. This helps ensure your cloud assets are resilient against modern threats.

Our Approach

Information Gathering

Understand the Policies

Each cloud provider (like AWS, Azure, GCP) has specific pentesting rules that define what can and cannot be tested. Before starting, it's essential to identify the cloud services in use and verify which ones are approved for testing by the provider.

Configuration

Plan for Cloud Penetration

a. We begin by coordinating with the client to define the start and end dates of the cloud penetration test. b. Once access is granted, pentesters analyze the environment, reviewing source code, software versions, and checking for exposed keys or access points to prepare for the assessment.

Authentication

Response Analysis

Cloud security is incomplete without proper analysis and documentation. After using automated tools and performing manual testing, we carefully review the results. Each finding is documented, and our cloud expertise is applied to accurately assess the risks and suggest improvements.

Session

Eliminate the Vulnerabilities

The cloud security process concludes with a detailed review of all findings. The pentesting team analyzes the severity and impact of each vulnerability. A final report is then prepared, including recommended fixes and mitigation strategies to strengthen cloud security.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is cloud penetration testing?
Cloud Penetration Testing simulates cyberattacks on cloud infrastructure, apps, and services to uncover vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and weak access controls before attackers can exploit them.
2. Is cloud penetration testing legal?
Yes — but only if it follows the rules of the cloud provider. Platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud have strict testing policies and may require prior approval before testing specific services.
3. What areas are tested during a cloud penetration test?
A cloud penetration test typically covers: Identity & Access Management (IAM) Virtual Machines & Servers APIs and Endpoints Storage Buckets & Databases Network Configurations & Firewalls Misconfigurations & Open Ports Cloud-based Applications & Services
4. How is cloud penetration testing differ from traditional testing?
Unlike traditional pentesting, cloud testing accounts for the shared responsibility model, provider restrictions, and dynamic features like autoscaling and multi-tenancy, making the assessment more complex.
5. How often should organizations perform cloud penetration tests?
Organizations should conduct cloud penetration tests: Annually After major cloud infrastructure changes Before launching new cloud services To meet regulatory or compliance requirements (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2)
