Cloud Penetration Testing
A cloud penetration test is a security assessment that simulates real-world attacks on an organisation’s cloud infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and weaknesses that could be exploited by malicious actors. This includes evaluating the security of cloud services, such as storage buckets, identity and access management (IAM) roles, virtual machines, and APIs.
The test also assesses data storage, authentication mechanisms, and access controls to ensure they are properly configured and resilient against attacks.
By conducting a cloud penetration test, organisations can validate their security posture, uncover potential risks, and receive actionable recommendations to enhance the protection of their cloud environments.
Benefits
- Identify misconfigurations and weaknesses in cloud environments.
- Ensure compliance with security best practices.

Common Vulnerabilities
- Misconfigured storage buckets or access permissions.
- Overly permissive identity and access management (IAM) roles.
- Insecure APIs or web interfaces.
- Weak authentication and credential policies.
- Insufficient logging and monitoring.
- Lack of network segmentation in cloud services.
Methodology
-
Review of cloud architecture and configuration.
-
Enumeration of cloud assets and services.
-
