Cloud Service Penetration Testing
Providing the cybersecurity assurances you need when it comes to your cloud-based services
Why test your cloud services?
Migrating business functions and hosting requirements to the cloud is extremely popular, with more and more organisations taking advantage of the cost benefits, convenience, accessibility and flexibility it provides.
Despite widespread adoption, many organisations fail to appropriately lock down or secure their cloud instances, leading to sensitive data being available to internet-based attackers.
Our cloud assessments are designed to evaluate the cybersecurity of your services, providing you with the robust assurances you require.
Common cloud services we test:
Amazon Web Services
Review the security configuration of your EC2 Instances, S3 Buckets, IAM Resources, VPCs and many other services within AWS.
Google Cloud Platform
Identify & mitigate vulnerabilities in your Google Cloud Platform, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data.
Microsoft Azure
Whether your developing apps in Azure, or using Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). We can help protect your Azure cloud instances.
Oracle Cloud
Pentest Limited are an authorised third-party test provider for Oracle Cloud Services, helping Oracle customers secure their cloud environments.
Cloud security - what we review
Our cloud penetration testing is tailored to your requirements and our consultants will perform a wide range of checks to ensure you are protected. The following provides an example of the checks we may perform, note this is not an exhaustive list and many of the checks will depend on the specific service under review:
Multi-factor authentication on administrative users and other high-privileged user roles
Anti-automation techniques are implemented, such as account lockouts
Appropriate warnings are sent when suspicious behaviour occurs, such as failed login attempts
Appropriate logging is in place to allow auditing of suspicious behaviour
Data loss prevention systems are configured to identify sensitive data transfer
Secure access controls on any sensitive data held on the cloud services
Cloud penetration testing process
Every cloud service penetration test goes through a rigorous process to ensure you get the best possible results. Below we outline the key stages our testing goes through:
1. Understanding your test requirements
No two organisations, or cloud services, are the same. We work with you to gain an in-depth knowledge of your needs and a detailed understanding of the cloud service under investigation, before putting forward a bespoke proposal of work.
2. Expert led, manual testing
Our cloud service testing is conducted manually by our expert cybersecurity consultants and is designed to fully challenge your cybersecurity measures. All our consultants are directly employed by us, meaning we ensure the highest quality of service.
3. Reporting, tailored to your needs
Reporting isn’t just a piece of paper, it’s a process. Our reporting process can be tailored to suit your needs, providing you with timely, relevant, and detailed information, not just on our findings but also our expert remediation advice.
4. Post-test support & documentation
Our job doesn't finish on the delivery of a test report. We make our security consultants available after the test to provide remediation support and can provide fix checks, as well as additional documentation where necessary.
