Cloud Penetration
Testing
We identify cloud attack paths across identity, configuration, and data controls so your team can harden AWS, Azure, and GCP before adversaries exploit gaps.
Typical response time: 1 business day.
Cloud Penetration Testing Scope
Multi-Cloud Assessments
AWS, Azure, and GCP environments, including hybrid and multi-account architectures.
IAM & Privilege Abuse
Role escalation, mis-scoped permissions, and cross-account trust path exploitation.
Configuration Exposure
Public resources, insecure network controls, and policy drift that expands attack surface.
Data Access Paths
Storage, encryption controls, and exfiltration scenarios that impact crown-jewel assets.
We follow AWS, Azure, and GCP testing policies and provider requirements.
Engagements are designed to avoid production-impacting actions.
Scope is explicitly documented for accounts, regions, and service boundaries.
Cloud Attack Paths We Validate
IAM Pivot Chain
Compromised workload role pivots through trust policies into privileged administrative access.
Storage Exposure Path
Misconfigured object storage and key policy combinations enable unauthorized sensitive data access.
CI/CD to Cloud Escalation
Build system credentials or actions workflows are abused to gain persistent cloud control.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does cloud penetration testing include?
Cloud penetration testing simulates attacker behavior in AWS, Azure, and GCP environments. We test IAM, network controls, workload configurations, and storage/data exposure, then map findings to practical attack paths and remediation.
Do you test without impacting availability?
Yes. We scope each engagement to avoid unsafe techniques in production environments and coordinate with your team on approved test windows and constraints.
Can this run alongside broader testing?
Absolutely. Cloud testing is often part of wider penetration testing or red team engagements and can also run as a standalone assessment.
