What is cloud penetration testing?

Cloud penetration tests provide a comprehensive security review of your cloud-based infrastructure to uncover security vulnerabilities and misconfigurations to provide vital information on how to secure your online environment.

Cloud penetration testing uses CyberPentesting’s seasoned security testers to rigorously assess the security of cloud infrastructure and applications. Our most common engagements are for GCP, Microsoft 365/Azure, and AWS, where we uncover vulnerabilities, weaknesses and technical misconfigurations that a cyber attacker would target.

Assess your cloud app and infrastructure security

Cloud services are an integral part of today’s business landscape, which makes cloud penetration testing fundamental to keeping your business data protected against cyber attacks. The shared responsibility model means security flaws can be introduced silently into your cloud services, putting your business at high risk of a data breach.

Benefits of cloud penetration testing

Cloud penetration testing from qualified experts is the best way to understand your cloud security weaknesses and asses the risk they present to your business. CyberPentesting’s full after-action report makes it easy to understand the bigger picture whilst also drilling down into vital technical details.

We know the threat landscape is dynamic and constantly evolving which is why we offer 12-months of free vulnerability scanning with every penetration test package.

Top 5 security flaws we find in cloud pen testing

With so many configuration and service options available to cloud infrastructures, there are numerous security flaws we find during testing activities. Here are the top 5 security flaws our cloud penetration testers find:

  1. Exposed cloud storage instances
  2. External data sharing
  3. Vulnerable interfaces and APIs
  4. User roles & policies
  5. Server-side request forgery

CyberPentesting cloud pen testing methodology

Most penetration testing follows a 6-step lifecycle:

Scope definition & pre-engagement interactions

Based on your defined goals, we’ll work with you to develop a tailored testing strategy.

Intelligence gathering & threat modelling

During the reconnaissance stage our experts use the latest tools and technology to gather available information about the cloud apps and infrastructure.

Vulnerability analysis

This is the stage where our penetration testers use industry leading tools and sector knowledge to find out what is leaving your cloud assets open to attack.

Exploitation

Using a combination of pre-existing software and custom-made exploits, our cloud pen testers will attempt to infiltrate your remote infrastructure and cloud-based technologies without causing any real-world disruption to your business.

Post-exploitation

The team will determine the risks and pivot to other systems and networks if within the scope of the test. All compromised systems will be thoroughly cleaned of any scripts.

Reporting

Our security team will produce a comprehensive report with their findings. Once received, we’ll invite you for a collaborative read through. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and request further information on key aspects of your test.

Here’s what our customers say about us


This was a very straightforward process. I had enough information up front to understand the process, and did not need to ask many questions along the way. Great service!
Jonathan Lochhass Quantuvis

We approached CyberPentesting as one of several suppliers who offer penetration testing services. Out of all those contacted, CyberPentesting were by far the most professional and slick to work with. From start to finish, the whole process was painless and ran like clockwork. The conclusive pen test report was succinct with clear steps of resolution provided. We were genuinely impressed with how easy CyberPentesting were to work with, and would definitely recommend.

Cloud pen testing FAQs

Cloud based infrastructure is often a target for cyber criminals and should be regularly tested for security flaws by both providers and by companies using cloud services. Annual or biannual testing recommended, in order to assess if any security weaknesses have been created within the platform due to software updates, misconfigurations, user errors, and to check that previous security updates are working effectively.

  • Small cloud systems: 1-2 days
  • Medium cloud systems: 3-6 days
  • Larger cloud systems and multiple cloud accounts:7 days+

All tests are tailored to you so use this as a guide.

 

Cloud based infrastructure reviews can be carried out using ‘read only’ accounts where appropriate, and on production accounts involving non-intrusive methods to provide security assurance for the live environment where possible. We can also coordinate our testing services to further minimise disruption, and work flexibly around your day-to-day business operations.

The best approach is to take cyber security as a holistic process, as weaknesses in one area may undermine security implemented in another. With this in mind, cloud pen tests can be expanded by also testing web apps hosted in the cloud to gain a deeper understanding of any security issues that you may be dealing with. This comprehensive approach can drastically increase your security posture and does more to prevent data breaches.
