“Identify vulnerabilities before attackers do and safeguard your business with proactive security.”
What is Cloud Penetration Testing?
Cloud penetration testing (VAPT) is a proactive security assessment where we simulate real-world attacks to uncover vulnerabilities within your cloud environments. These tests help you identify weaknesses in cloud infrastructure, services, configurations, and identity strategies before attackers exploit them.
Speak with our security experts and discuss your specific testing needs.
Why Do You Need Cloud Penetration Testing?
Protect Against Data Breaches: Misconfigured cloud services are one of the most common causes of data leaks. We help prevent unauthorized access to sensitive business and customer data.
Meet Compliance Standards: Frameworks like PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and SOC 2 require continuous cloud security assessments.
Avoid Financial and Reputational Losses: Cloud breaches can expose massive datasets, cause downtime, and damage your brand.
What We Look For:
Based on industry standards such as OWASP Cloud Security, CIS Benchmarks, and Cloud Provider Best Practices, we assess:
- C01:2025 – Misconfigured Identity & Access Management (IAM)
- C02:2025 – Insecure Storage & Database Configurations
- C03:2025 – Misconfigured Network Security Groups & Firewalls
- C04:2025 – Insecure API & Endpoint Exposure
- C05:2025 – Privilege Escalation Risks
- C06:2025 – Supply Chain & Dependency Vulnerabilities
- C07:2025 – Insufficient Logging & Monitoring
- C08:2025 – Cryptographic Failures in Cloud Services
- C09:2025 – Unrestricted Access to Critical Resources
- C10:2025 – Containerization & Orchestration Security Flaws
