What Is Cloud Penetration Testing?
Cloud penetration testing simulates real-world attacks on your cloud infrastructure to uncover misconfigurations, weak access controls, and exploitable vulnerabilities. Unlike traditional network pentests, cloud pentesting requires deep knowledge of platform-specific services, APIs, identity and access management (IAM), and shared responsibility models.
Our experts go beyond automated scanning—we conduct deep manual assessments to test cloud-native services across cloud platforms.
Common Cloud Security Challenges
- Misconfigured Accounts and Resources
- Overly Permissive IAM Roles
- Weak Authentication and Poor Credential Management
- Publicly Accessible Storage Buckets and Services
- Application and API Misconfigurations
- Insecure CI/CD Pipelines
- Lack of Logging and Monitoring
- Improper Use of Encryption
