Cloud Penetration Testing. Secure your cloud infrastructure.
Your cloud is your business. Misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and exposed assets create attack paths invisible from the console. Our cloud security experts test AWS, Azure, and GCP environments to find what attackers find, before they do.
Why cloud security matters
Cloud environments are complex and dynamic. Misconfigurations are the #1 cause of cloud breaches - and they're everywhere.
Cloud security under constant pressure
Modern cloud environments change fast, operate on shared responsibility models, and expand attack surfaces - making consistent security governance difficult to maintain.
Misconfiguration epidemic
Default settings, public S3 buckets, open security groups. Misconfigurations are the #1 cause of cloud breaches, and they're everywhere.
IAM complexity
Roles, policies, service accounts, cross-account access. Excessive permissions create attack paths invisible from the console.
Multi-cloud sprawl
AWS, Azure, GCP, plus SaaS. Each platform has its own security model. Consistent security across clouds is nearly impossible.
Container confusion
Kubernetes clusters, Docker containers, ECS/EKS/AKS. Container security adds layers of complexity to an already complex environment.
Serverless blind spots
Lambda, Azure Functions, Cloud Run. Serverless abstracts infrastructure but not security. Function code, triggers, and permissions need testing.
Data exposure risks
Object storage, databases, data warehouses. One policy mistake and sensitive data is public. Cross-account access adds complexity.
Secrets management
API keys, database credentials, service account keys. Secrets sprawl across code, configs, and environment variables.
IaC security gaps
Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi define your infrastructure. Insecure templates deploy insecure infrastructure at scale.
Limited visibility
Cloud APIs, multiple accounts, dynamic resources. Traditional security tools can't see what's happening. Log gaps hide attacker activity.
Benefits of professional cloud penetration testing services
Expert testing that finds the misconfigurations, permission flaws, and attack paths that automated tools usually miss.
Find real attack paths
We chain misconfigurations into actual attack paths, from initial access to data exfiltration, just like real attackers.
Privilege escalation chains, lateral movement paths, data access validation
Understand real-world breach scenarios, not just policy violations

Learn MoreCloud penetration testing roadmap
Our methodology combines cloud-native attack techniques with industry frameworks like CIS Benchmarks and MITRE ATT&CK for Cloud.
Scoping & Access
Define scope (accounts, regions, services), establish rules of engagement, and provision read-only access for initial discovery.
Automated discovery
Automated tools enumerate resources, analyze configurations, and identify CIS Benchmark violations and common misconfigurations.
Manual testing
Expert testers probe IAM, network, data access, and application layers using attacker techniques and cloud-specific attack paths.
Attack path validation
We chain findings into complete attack paths, from initial access through privilege escalation to data exfiltration.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about cloud penetration testing.
We test AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. We also test multi-cloud environments and hybrid cloud/on-premises setups. Our testers hold certifications across all major platforms and understand the nuances of each.
We start with read-only access (SecurityAudit in AWS, Reader in Azure, Viewer in GCP) for discovery. For active testing, we need a test role with permissions to the resources in scope. We provide exact IAM policies/role definitions. Access is time-limited and revoked after testing.
We use non-destructive testing techniques. For configuration testing, we read policies, we don't change them. For application testing, we coordinate windows and test environments when possible. In 11+ years, we've never caused a cloud outage.
CSPM tools find misconfigurations. We find attack paths. We chain misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and application vulnerabilities into realistic attack scenarios. We also test things CSPM can't, like custom IAM policies, cross-account trust abuse, and application-layer cloud integrations.
Yes, container and Kubernetes security is a core capability. We test managed Kubernetes (EKS, AKS, GKE), self-managed clusters, container registries, and the applications running in containers. This includes RBAC, pod security, network policies, and container escape attempts.
Yes, we test Lambda, Azure Functions, Cloud Functions, and other serverless services. This includes function code analysis, trigger security, IAM role permissions, environment variable secrets, and API Gateway configurations.
Yes, where applicable we provide Terraform, CloudFormation, or other IaC remediation snippets. This makes fixing misconfigurations faster and ensures fixes are version-controlled and repeatable.
A typical cloud pentest takes 7-14 days depending on the number of accounts, regions, and services in scope. Simple single-account tests might take 5 days; complex multi-account enterprise environments could take 3-4 weeks.
We map findings to CIS Benchmarks (AWS, Azure, GCP), SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, NIST CSF, and cloud provider-specific frameworks like AWS Well-Architected and Azure Security Benchmark.
Yes, we offer Infrastructure as Code security reviews for Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi, and CDK. We also assess CI/CD pipeline security, secrets management, and deployment security to prevent supply chain attacks.
