Cloud Penetration Testing

Overview : Cloud Penetration Testing

The goal of this assessment is to analyse your Cloud-based Environment’s cyber security posture by utilising simulated assaults to discover and exploit vulnerabilities. Our penetration testing technique prioritises your cloud application’s most susceptible regions and recommends practical remedies.

The results of this cloud Security Testing will be utilised by the company to improve its security features. Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and others are some of the most prominent examples. Cloud penetration testing necessitates the idea of shared accountability.

Methodology

Cloud penetration testing aims to investigate attack, breach, operability, and recovery vulnerabilities inside a cloud context. Our Cloud Testing Methodology is based on Best Practices and employs both automatic and human cloud security testing tools to uncover security vulnerabilities that may jeopardise the security integrity of your cloud platform, such as configuration errors, excess builds, and so on.

Black Box

Attack imitating a circumstance in which cloud penetration testers are unfamiliar with and do not have access to your cloud services.

Gray Box

Cloud penetration testers may be granted limited administrative capabilities and have limited user and system knowledge.

White Box

Cloud penetration testers are provided admin or root level access to cloud systems.

Our Approach

Understand the Policies

Each cloud service provider has a pentesting policy that specifies which services and testing methods are permitted and which are not. To begin, we must determine which cloud services are used in the customer’s environment and which may be tested by cloud pentesters.

Plan for Cloud Penetration

a. Our first priority is to contact the customer in order to determine the start and end dates of the pentest.
b. After getting the information, pentesters need time to grasp the system so they may study it – check into its source code, software versions, and potential access points to discover whether any keys have been published.

Select Cloud Penetration Tools

Cloud pentesting tools should simulate a real-world assault. Many hackers use automated approaches to find security flaws, such as repeatedly guessing passwords or looking for APIs that offer them direct access to data.

Response Analysis

Cloud pentesting would be pointless if the results and replies were not evaluated. We must evaluate the outcomes of the automated tools and manual testing. It is necessary to document each response. One of the processes entails making advantage of our cloud knowledge and experience.

Eliminate the Vulnerabilities

This is the final level of the cloud pentesting process. Once all cloud tests and inspections have been performed, the severity and impact of vulnerabilities should be examined and investigated with the cloud pentesting team. A final report on cloud vulnerabilities should be produced, complete with recommendations and remedies.
