Advanced Cloud Attack Simulation
Cloud penetration testing goes beyond configuration assessment to simulate real-world attacks against your cloud environment. Our experts use the same techniques as malicious actors to identify exploitable vulnerabilities in your cloud infrastructure, applications, and data. This hands-on testing reveals risks that automated tools cannot detect.
Cloud Penetration Testing Assessment Types
Cloud Infrastructure Testing
Test compute instances, containers, serverless functions, and managed services for security vulnerabilities.
Container & Kubernetes Testing
Assess container security, Kubernetes cluster configurations, and container escape vulnerabilities.
Serverless Security Testing
Evaluate Lambda, Azure Functions, and Cloud Functions for injection, privilege escalation, and data exposure.
How it works?
Our Cloud Pentesting Methodology
We combine cloud-specific attack techniques with traditional penetration testing methods for comprehensive coverage.
Reconnaissance
Gather intelligence about your cloud footprint using OSINT and cloud-specific enumeration techniques.
Initial Access
Attempt to gain initial access through exposed services, leaked credentials, or misconfigured resources.
Privilege Escalation
Escalate privileges within the cloud environment using IAM misconfigurations and service vulnerabilities.
Lateral Movement
Move between cloud services and accounts to demonstrate potential blast radius.
Data Exfiltration
Demonstrate ability to access and exfiltrate sensitive data from cloud storage and databases.
Common vulnerabilities we tackled in the past
SSRF to Cloud Metadata
Container Escape
Kubernetes RBAC Bypass
Lambda Privilege Escalation
Cross-Account Access
Secrets in Environment Variables
Insecure Deserialization in Cloud Apps
Cloud SQL Injection
Exposed Cloud Functions
Misconfigured Service Accounts
