Cloud Environments We Support

support1
AWS Pentesting

Whether you are migrating data to AWS, developing applications, or annual pentesting for compliance, AWS pentesting is vital for identifying cloud security gaps

GCP Pentesting

Essential for organizations migrating to Google Cloud, developing applications in GCP, or using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).

Why Cloud Pentesting?

The cloud offers remarkable convenience, but its shared nature introduces unique risks. Misconfigurations, insecure storage, and access control lapses can create gaping holes for attackers. Traditional security solutions often struggle to adapt to the cloud’s dynamic environment, leaving you exposed. Cloud pentesting bridges this gap. Our expert team simulates real-world attacks, uncovering vulnerabilities in your:

each-get1
Infrastructure

We assess the security of your cloud resources, including VMs, containers, storage, and networking configurations.

each-get1
Applications

We test your web and mobile applications deployed in the cloud, identifying insecure coding practices and logic flaws.

Data Security

We analyze your data encryption and storage practices, safeguarding sensitive information against unauthorized access.

Types of Cloud Pentesting We Do @ Digital Defence

Mimics a real-world attack, with limited prior knowledge, simulating an external attacker's perspective.

  • Provides a realistic assessment of the system's resilience against external attacks.
  • Uncovers vulnerabilities that attackers might exploit.
  • Requires minimal knowledge of the internal system workings.

Provides testers with some system information and limited access, replicating a scenario where an insider with partial knowledge might exploit vulnerabilities.

  • Offers a balance between realism and efficiency.
  • Can uncover vulnerabilities exploitable by insiders with limited knowledge.
  • Provides more targeted testing based on internal information.

Grants full access, ideal for in-depth assessments and testing specific security controls.

  • Enables comprehensive testing of system logic, code, and configurations.
  • Ideal for identifying logic flaws, code vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations.
  • Provides detailed insights into the system's security posture.

Leverages expert knowledge of specific platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP, uncovering provider-specific vulnerabilities.

  • Identifies vulnerabilities specific to the chosen CSP environment.
  • Ensures proper configuration and security best practices are followed within the CSP ecosystem.
  • Provides valuable insights for optimizing security posture within the specific cloud platform.
How it works?

Methodology

For penetration testing, we have adopted a hybrid approach combined with OWASP methodology. This helps us build custom test cases around the business logic of an application, which varies from application to application. We ensure thorough end-to-end web application security..

Reconnaissance
Gather the scope and prepare a project plan according to the requirements.
Build Test Cases
Build custom test cases around the business logic of the application and segregate them.
Deploy Scanners
Identify low hanging vulnerabilities via scanners and validate the findings.
Manual Penetration Test
Perform an in-depth end to end pentesting and analyze the results.
Report Generation
Compile the results into a comprehensive report for both business and technical stakeholders.

Common Security Threat We Tackle at Digital Defence

Misconfigurations
Data Breaches
Malware/Ransomware
Vulnerabilities
Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs)
Supply Chain Compromises
Insider Threats
Weak Identities and Credentials
Weak Access Management
Insecure Interfaces and APIs
Inappropriate Use or Abuse of Cloud Services
Shared Services/Technology Concerns
