Cloud Infrastructure Penetration Testing

AWS, Azure, and GCP, configuration to workloads.

Assessment of your cloud environment across identity, configuration, network, and workloads, mapped to provider best practice and the CSA Cloud Controls Matrix.

What we test

Where we focus

IAM, roles, and privilege escalation paths

Storage, secrets, and data exposure

Network and segmentation

Cloud-native and serverless services

Workload and container security

Logging, monitoring, and guardrails

This is part of our Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing service. Retest validation is included at no added cost.

Who it's for

Organizations running workloads in AWS, Azure, or GCP that need assurance their identity, configuration, network, and workload controls hold up against a motivated attacker.

FAQ

Common questions

What is cloud infrastructure penetration testing?

Cloud infrastructure penetration testing assesses a cloud environment across identity, configuration, network, and workloads to find exploitable weaknesses and privilege-escalation paths. It is typically mapped to provider best practice and frameworks such as the CSA Cloud Controls Matrix.

How is cloud testing different from a traditional network test?

Cloud environments are driven by identity and configuration rather than only network boundaries, so testing emphasizes IAM roles and privilege escalation, storage and secrets exposure, and cloud-native and serverless services. Provider rules of engagement also apply to what can be tested.

What are the most common cloud misconfigurations you look for?

Frequent issues include overly permissive IAM roles and escalation chains, publicly exposed storage, secrets left in code or configuration, weak network segmentation, and missing logging, monitoring, or guardrails that would detect an attacker.
