Strengthen Your Cloud: AWS and Cloud Penetration Testing of the Modern Enterprise.
Cloud computing has transformed the scalability and flexibility of businesses but has also brought new weaknesses. Poorly set up storage buckets, insecure APIs and weak access controls can put your environment in the path of attackers. This is the reason why AWS pen test and cloud penetration testing is necessary to secure your infrastructure.
At Aardwolf Security, we assist organizations to test and improve their defenses against their clouds with safe and controlled simulations of real-world cyberattacks.
The concept of Cloud Penetration Testing.
cloud penetration testing evaluates the security risk in clouded environments such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. In contrast to older systems, cloud security is a shared responsibility model, whereby your provider ensures the security of the underlying infrastructure whereas it is your responsibility to ensure the security of your configurations, data and access policies.
The Importance of AWS Pen Testing.
AWS environments are enormous, and they have a lot of components (S3, EC2, RDS, Lambda, API Gateway). They both have possible points of attack; in case they are not well secured.
Common issues include:
- Over-permissive IAM roles
- Publicly exposed S3 buckets
- Weak EC2 firewall set ups.
- Insecure API endpoints
- Unencrypted EBS volumes
Testing will be also done to ascertain that all cloud elements are hardened.
The 6-Step Cloud Testing Method of Aardwolf.
Scoping and Planning
We match up the boundaries of the test with the policy of penetration testing of AWS in order to abide by it.
Information Gathering
We accomplish this by listing assets, services and configurations with AWS CLI and reconnaissance tools in our testers.
Vulnerability Analysis
We identify weak IAM policies, impregnated credentials, and mis-configured components.
Controlled Exploitation
Vulnerabilities are tested in a safe manner by ethical hackers to show the impact of risks.
Privilege Upgrading and Persistence Testing.
We determine the distance that the attacker is capable of traveling in the environment after gaining access.
In-depth Reporting and Consultation.
A detailed report on mitigation steps and cloud best practices is provided to you.
AWS Services that are widely tested.
- Simple storage service S3 (data exposure).
- IAM (Identity and Access Management) of excessive permissions.
- Open Ports or insecure Image EC2 Instances.
- CloudWatch and cloud trail coverage of log.
- Insecure code execution Lambda Functions.
The advantages of Routine Cloud testing.
- Maintains uninterrupted adherence to such standards as SOC 2, ISO 27017, and GDPR.
- Checks security settings following migrations and updates.
- Enhances resilience to response.
- Develops customer trust on reliability of clouds.
Beyond AWS: Multi-Cloud Testing
Contemporary businesses have a tendency to work with hybrid or multi-cloud systems. The team of Aardwolf is prepared to test on platforms which makes the visibility and protection consistent with all the providers.
Our Advantage
- Developed AWS and Azure security experts.
- Automated and manual simulations of attacks on clouds.
- Configuration instructions and post-test instruction.
- Clear prices and no interference in the services.
Conclusion
The cloud has unlimited opportunities but when it is secured. Award Aardwolf Security with a professional penetration testing of AWS and cloud to identify vulnerabilities before the attackers. Book an appointment in order to secure your business in the cloud.
