Intro to Cloud Penetration Testing for CISOs & Security Managers

What is Cloud Penetration Testing and Why You Need It

Cloud penetration testing identifies cloud resources that are exposed to attackers. Cybercriminals probe constantly for common security gaps on Azure, AWS, and other cloud computing services. Cloud penetration testing can help your organization close cloud security gaps and prevent a data breach.

Be proactive and reduce your risk through cloud penetration testing, which probes for cloud security gaps – so your company can fix them and prevent unwanted access.

In this tip sheet, you’ll learn:

  • Security risks posed by cloud migration
  • Best practices for cloud penetration testing
  • Specific types of cloud resources to probe when penetration testing:
    • An internal network
    • An external network
    • A platform as a service (PaaS)
    • PCI compliance
    • Applications
  • What is a configuration review and why you need it

Why should I use NetSPI?

We help organizations defend against adversaries by being the best at simulating real-world, sophisticated adversaries with the products, services, and training we provide. We know how attackers think and operate, allowing us to help our customers better defend against the threats they face daily.

How does NetSPI ensure quality results?

At NetSPI, we believe that there is simply no replacement for human-led manual deep dive testing. Our Resolve platform delivers automation to ensure our people spend time looking for the critical vulnerabilities that tools miss. We provide automated and manual testing of all aspects of an organization’s entire attack surface, including external and internal network, application, cloud, and physical security.

Our proven methodology ensures that the client experience and our findings aren’t only as good as the latest tester assigned to your project. That consistency gives our customers assurance that if vulnerabilities exist, we will find them.
