Cloud Penetration Testing

Service

What is Cloud penetration testing?

Cloud VAPT resembles an exhaustive security inspection, carefully scrutinizing every facet of that towering structure for potential vulnerabilities. We don’t merely pinpoint possible flaws; we replicate actual attack scenarios to grasp how a cybercriminal could take advantage of them. This all-encompassing strategy guarantees that your cloud environment remains fortified, safeguarding your vital data and business functions against the relentless rise of cyber threats.

Cloud VAPT Methodology

The Cloud VAPT methodology generally includes the following steps:

Planning and Scoping

Defining the scope, objectives, and target platforms for the assessment.

Information Gathering

Collecting information about the cloud infrastructure, services, configurations, and access controls.

Vulnerability Assessment

Conducting automated and manual assessments to identify potential vulnerabilities in the cloud environment.

Penetration Testing

Actively exploiting identified vulnerabilities to determine their impact and validate their severity in a cloud context.

Analysis and Reporting

Analyzing the findings, prioritizing vulnerabilities based on their severity, and preparing a comprehensive report with recommendations for remediation.

How Its Work

Cloud VAPT Process

Step 1

Pre-Engagement

Understanding the requirements, scoping the assessment, and obtaining necessary permissions from cloud service providers.

Step 2

Information gathering

Collecting information about the cloud environment, including architecture, services, configurations, and user access controls.

Step 3

Vulnerability assessment

Conducting scans and assessments to identify vulnerabilities in the cloud infrastructure, services, and configurations.

Step 4

Penetration testing

Actively exploiting identified vulnerabilities to assess their impact on cloud security, data privacy, and access controls.

Step 5

Reporting

Documenting the findings, prioritizing vulnerabilities, and providing detailed recommendations for remediation.

Step 6

Remediation

Assisting the cloud operations team in addressing the identified vulnerabilities and retesting the environment if required.

Step 7

Post-engagement

Conducting a post-engagement review, addressing any queries or concerns, and closing the assessment.

Cloud VAPT Tools

Cloud VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) tools are specialized security solutions designed to evaluate the security posture of cloud environments. These tools help organizations identify vulnerabilities in their cloud infrastructure, applications, and services, allowing them to proactively address security risks.

Cloud VAPT Service Overview

Cloud VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) services comprehensively evaluate cloud security, covering infrastructure, applications, and data. They identify vulnerabilities unique to cloud environments using specialized tools. CSPM tools assess security configurations and compliance. Penetration testing simulates attacks on cloud resources like VMs and storage. API testing focuses on API vulnerabilities. Workload scanning checks containers and VMs. IAM assessments verify access controls. The service delivers a report detailing vulnerabilities, severity, impact, and remediation steps. Providers often offer support and retesting. Cloud VAPT strengthens security, reduces risk, and protects cloud data.
