Why Businesses Need Our Cloud Penetration Testing

If your company utilises cloud services to support daily operations, safety is of utmost importance and should include a robust security assessment plan, including cloud penetration testing. This viable security solution is a simulated attack against a system to identify vulnerabilities. It involves thoroughly examining the infrastructure to uncover any weaknesses that malicious entities could exploit. This process is crucial in maintaining the integrity of data stored in the cloud.

Common Vulnerabilities Affecting Cloud Environments

Our security assessments are designed to identify some of the biggest and most common threats to cloud environments, including:

These can occur when authentication protocols are poorly implemented, allowing unauthorised individuals to access sensitive data. This could involve weak verification methods, lack of multi-factor authentication, or insecure handling of tokens.

Inadequate privilege control can lead to excessive permissions, granting users more entry than necessary. This can result in unauthorised data access, modification, or even deletion. Our experts will implement a principle of least privilege (PoLP), ensuring users can only access the resources they need to perform their tasks.

These are errors in software that have not been addressed by applying the necessary updates. Malicious actors can exploit these security gaps to gain entry or disrupt services. Hence, regular patch management is essential to maintain the security of cloud environments.

Weak or default passwords can make it easy for attackers to access cloud systems. To this end, implementing policies, including the use of unique passwords and regular password changes, can significantly enhance cloud protection.

This can include insecure data storage, incorrect firewall settings, or open access permissions. Regular configuration reviews and automated management can help prevent these vulnerabilities.

Malicious activities may go unnoticed without proper log management, allowing hackers to continue their operations undetected. That is why implementing comprehensive log management practices can provide valuable insights into system activities and help identify potential security threats.

APIs are a crucial link in cloud services, facilitating data exchange between various applications. However, they can become conduits for large-scale data breaches if they are not protected. Misusing HTTP methods such as PUT, POST, and DELETE in APIs can potentially allow cybercriminals to upload harmful malware or erase data. Inadequate access control and insufficient input sanitisation often lead to API compromises.

Software that is not up-to-date can harbour serious security flaws, posing a threat to your cloud services. Many software providers lack a streamlined update process, or users may choose to turn off automatic updates, leaving systems vulnerable. Cybercriminals can detect outdated software using automated scanners, making these services prime targets for compromise.

How Our Cloud Penetration Testing Works

Microminder cloud penetration testing is a rigorous process that focuses on the internal cloud environments, the perimeters and the on-premise infrastructures. We perform a comprehensive test through the following steps:

Before initiating any tests, it's crucial to develop a strategy that aligns with the policies of your CSP. Each CSP has its own set of rules concerning the types of scans that can be conducted, the endpoints that can be inspected, the permissions required to perform the assessment, and the scope of the examination.

Our experts will formulate a detailed strategy for conducting cloud penetration testing. While there's no one-size-fits-all approach, certain key considerations can guide the planning process. These include mapping out all the endpoints to be checked, assessing the capacity of the application server and VMs to handle the load, understanding the legal requirements, and deciding on the tools to be used.

During this phase, our testers will check for vulnerabilities, risks, and gaps in the security programme to gain an understanding of the overall needs and goals of the team. This phase is crucial for establishing the scope and setting the stage for the subsequent phases.

In this phase, our experts will utilise the information gathered to determine the most suitable techniques. These methods are then deployed, and the cloud environment is closely monitored to assess its response to the simulated attacks. They will also evaluate the effectiveness of existing safety tools in detecting the attacks and the thoroughness of the overall security programme. Any identified security gaps are addressed through remediation activities.

It involves an extensive review of the activities carried out in the exploitation phase to ensure that the remedies have been correctly applied and that the overall programme aligns with industry best practices. This stage is vital for confirming the cloud penetration test's effectiveness and ensuring ongoing security.
