AWS penetration testing
NetSPI’s AWS penetration testing solution identifies cloud configuration and other security issues on your AWS infrastructure and provides actionable recommendations to improve your AWS cloud security posture.
Benefits of AWS penetration testing
Whether you are migrating to AWS, developing cloud-native applications in AWS, using Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), or pentesting annually for compliance, NetSPI’s AWS Penetration Testing helps you find cloud security gaps that create exposure and risk. Improve AWS cloud security and reduce organizational risk with NetSPI.
AWS pentesting methodology
During AWS penetration testing, NetSPI identifies vulnerabilities, exposed credentials, and security misconfigurations that allow our expert AWS pentesters to access restricted resources, elevate user privileges, and expose sensitive data on AWS. Identify the exposure of public-facing files, S3 buckets open to the internet, and security gaps in your AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) configuration. Deliverables include an AWS penetration testing report with prioritized vulnerabilities and actionable guidance to help you reduce risk and secure your AWS attack surface.
AWS penetration testing solutions
Our security experts follow manual and automated pentesting processes that use commercial, open source, and proprietary AWS penetration testing tools to assess your AWS cloud infrastructure from the perspective of anonymous and authenticated users.
Configuration review
Our expert AWS pentesters evaluate the configurations of your AWS services and the IAM policies applied to those services. Misconfigurations can lead to significant security gaps in AWS environments.
External AWS pentesting
External AWS vulnerability scanning tools and manual security testing probe your AWS infrastructure to uncover security issues in public-facing services. This includes web and network-related security.
Internal network pentesting
Internal network layer pentesting of virtual machines and services enables NetSPI to emulate an attacker that gained a foothold on your AWS virtual network.
