Cloud Penetration Testing

We identify misconfigurations, privilege escalation risks, and insecure deployments across AWS, Azure, or GCP environments.

What is Cloud Penetration Testing?

Cloud penetration testing is a security assessment of your AWS, Azure, or GCP environment that identifies IAM misconfigurations, privilege escalation paths, storage exposure, network segmentation gaps, and container/Kubernetes security issues.

Testing Checklist

Every engagement covers these critical security areas.

IAM policy and permission analysis
S3/Blob/GCS bucket permissions
Security group and NACL review
Instance metadata service (IMDS) access
Cross-account trust relationships
Serverless function permissions
Container and Kubernetes RBAC
Secrets in environment variables
Logging and monitoring gaps
VPC peering and transit gateway
KMS key management review
CloudTrail and audit log analysis

Testing Methodology

A structured, repeatable process that ensures thorough coverage and actionable results.

STEP 01

Cloud Environment Discovery

Map cloud architecture, identify services in use, IAM configurations, network topology, and externally exposed assets.

STEP 02

IAM & Access Control Review

Assess IAM policies, roles, and permissions for over-privileged access, policy misconfigurations, and lateral movement paths.

STEP 03

Infrastructure Testing

Test VPC configurations, security groups, NACLs, and network segmentation for unauthorized access paths.

STEP 04

Service-Specific Testing

Assess storage buckets, databases, serverless functions, and container orchestration for security misconfigurations.

STEP 05

Privilege Escalation

Attempt privilege escalation through IAM policy abuse, instance metadata exploitation, and cross-service trust relationships.

STEP 06

Reporting & Remediation

Deliver cloud-specific findings with CIS benchmark references, Terraform/CloudFormation remediation snippets.

Framework Alignment

Our methodology is aligned with industry-recognized security frameworks for thorough coverage and compliance readiness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cloud penetration testing?

Cloud penetration testing is a security assessment of your AWS, Azure, or GCP environment that identifies IAM misconfigurations, privilege escalation paths, storage exposure, network segmentation gaps, and container/Kubernetes security issues.

Do you need admin access to our cloud environment?

We perform greybox testing with read-only or limited-privilege credentials. This simulates a realistic attacker scenario: gaining initial access and attempting to escalate privileges.
