Cloud Penetration Testing


Our cloud penetration testing simulates real-world attacks against cloud environments to identify misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and insecure service integrations. We assess your cloud infrastructure end-to-end to uncover attack paths that could lead to data exposure, privilege escalation, or full account compromise.

Expert-Led Manual Testing

Cloud security failures are rarely caused by missing patches—they are caused by misconfigurations and identity abuse. Our testing is manual, attacker-driven, and focused on how real adversaries compromise cloud environments.


Key areas:
– Identity & Access Management (IAM)
– Excessive permissions and privilege escalation paths
– Misconfigured roles, policies, and trust relationships
– Abuse of service identities and temporary credentials
– Cross-account and cross-project access risks

Cloud Infrastructure
– Compute instances and container services
– Storage services and data exposure (buckets, blobs, disks)
– Network segmentation and security group misconfigurations
– Insecure metadata service access

Cloud Services & Integrations
– Serverless functions and event-driven workflows
– CI/CD pipeline integrations and secrets exposure
– API gateways and managed service abuse
– Third-party integrations and SaaS connections

Hybrid & Cloud-to-On-Prem
– Cloud-to-internal network trust relationships
– VPN, private endpoints, and peering configurations
– Lateral movement between cloud and on-prem environments

Methodology

All testing is performed using an attacker-centric methodology aligned with cloud threat models and provider-specific guidance for AWS, Azure, and GCP.

We Follow The 7-Phase Standardized Process to go From Initial Planning to Final Reporting, Ensuring Comprehensive Security Assessments.


1. Pre-Engagement Interactions

Defining the scope, rules, and objectives of the test with the client, including setting expectations, legal boundaries, and necessary tools.

2. Intelligence Gathering

Collecting information about the target organization, both from public sources (OSINT) and provided information, to understand potential attack vectors.

3. Threat Modeling

Identifying critical business assets, processes, and potential attacker groups (threat communities) to prioritize security efforts.

4. Vulnerability Analysis

Finding and validating weaknesses in systems and processes that could be exploited.

5. Exploitation

Actively leveraging identified vulnerabilities to breach the system and gain access, finding the weakest points of entry.

6. Post-Exploitation

Assessing the value of compromised systems, simulating data exfiltration, mapping the internal network, and pivoting to other targets.

7. Reporting

Creating comprehensive technical and executive reports detailing findings, vulnerabilities, risks, and actionable remediation guidance for the client.
