Cloud Penetration Testing
Detailed, comprehensive cloud security testing of virtual platforms to identify associated security vulnerabilities
Cloud Security Testing Service
Cloud Security Testing evaluates the security and configuration integrity of the platform hosting your business-critical information assets. Cloud providers such as Azure, AWS and GCP offer increasingly robust security controls, but ultimately…it’s you who is responsible for the data hosted within your cloud environment. The objective should be to identify any potential security vulnerabilities associated with your cloud service for remediation or risk acceptance. Effective cloud security testing benchmarks the security configuration of your hosting environment.
Risk Crew Testing Deliverables
Risk Crew’s service provides a comprehensive report that details security vulnerabilities identified through the cloud security testing and suggests specific actions for remediation, a courtesy workshop and on-call assistance.
The report details specific vulnerabilities identified on the cloud hosting platform, how they were identified, methods and tools used to identify them and visual evidence if applicable. The report shall indicate a security vulnerability risk rating for risk reduction references.
The report of our findings is presented in a workshop with applicable business stakeholders to ensure their understanding of the findings and the risks associated with hosting the business information assets on the platform.
We provide advice and assistance for 30 days following the cloud security report submission and answer any questions that arise from implementing remedial actions and ensuring risk reduction.
We offer retesting to verify remedial actions were effective. Upon completion, we’ll provide you with a summary report verifying remedial measures have been implemented.
Our fixed pricing services come with no unexpected added costs. Additionally, we offer a managed service to conduct penetration testing on a continual basis.
Risk Crew provides an unparalleled penetration testing solution covered by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Why Choose Risk Crew for Cloud Security Testing
FAQs
Cloud security testing uses a variety of techniques to help identify potential security vulnerabilities associated with cloud services. These techniques are used to identify configuration flaws, missing security patches, and programming errors, which could make your system, and the information within it, easier to access.
Cloud computing platforms provide businesses with capabilities to process, store and transmit their data on multi-tenant servers hosted in third-party data centres. Consequently, data hosted on virtualised platforms may be at risk of unauthorised access from other tenants, 3rd parties or insiders, specifically if logical segmentation and security configuration is poorly conducted. Prior to hosting sensitive business information assets on a cloud platform, an information threat and risk assessment should be conducted, and formal risk decisions made, based on the results.
The primary security risks associated with cloud platforms are poor security configuration, account hijacking, DDoS, human error and malicious insiders.
Unfortunately, very little. Read your service level agreement (SLA) closely and question your provider regarding the regularity of system security administration and maintenance scheduling (patching, fixes upgrades), change management, access controls and how often the platform is subject to testing. As a rule of thumb, if these are not specified in your (SLA) be wary.
In short, best practices. Expect the same level of security as you would provide these information assets if they were processed, stored or transmitted directly from systems.
ISO and OWASP best practices suggest testing cloud platforms at least annually or if the volume or sensitivity of the information assets hosted on the platform increases.
Data protection is the most important aspect of cloud security. Your data and sensitive information is protected within any systems that you use within your organisation. Otherwise, you risk data breaches, which could result in financial loss, reputational damage, and legal action.
