Cloud Security Penetration Testing

Assess the security of cloud-based infrastructure and services including configurations permissions and data storage to identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that could compromise data integrity and confidentiality Pre Assessment Understand the client's cloud infrastructure setup including services used on AWS Azure and GCP as well as their security requirements and compliance standards. Scope Definition Define the scope of the penetration testing including specific cloud services regions and configurations to be assessed. Reconnaissance Gather information about the client's cloud assets including virtual machines storage buckets databases networking configurations and access control mechanisms. Testing & Exploitation Attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities to demonstrate their impact and validate their severity ensuring realistic assessment of cloud infrastructure security. Remediation & Report Generate a detailed technical report outlining the methodology findings exploitation techniques and proof-of-concept demonstrations for each identified. Provide an executive summary highlighting key findings risk assessment and actionable recommendations for improving cloud security posture. Retest Once the remediation has been completed the tester may conduct a retest to verify that the vulnerabilities have been successfully addressed and that the cloud environment is now secure.
