How Cloud Penetration Testing Works at Microminder CS
At Microminder, we perform rigorous penetration testing on your cloud environment to improve your security posture, ensuring you can grow your business with complete peace of mind. Here’s how the cloud penetration testing process works at MCS:
Every business is different and so are their requirements and challenges.
So, instead of jumping straight into pen testing, our security experts take time to understand and familiarise themselves with your business, cloud infrastructure, and your cloud service provider’s (CSP) security policies.
To get started, we map all your endpoints, services, and data in the cloud, investigate legal requirements, and how much load your VMs and app servers can handle.
In addition, we carefully consider CSP policies, whether you’ve partnered with Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), or any other provider. These policies change and could differ based on supported types of scans, endpoints, and scopes of testing.
Based on the above understanding of your business and CSP policies, we create a solid pen testing plan to meet your business's unique needs like size, industry, and security posture and complement your CSP’s policies.
During the planning phase, we form our pen testing team, comprising skilled pen testers or ethical hackers, certified or trained personnel on cybersecurity, a CISO, and others. We also build scenarios for the simulation based on the type of pen testing and decide on the tools to use. We plan all the steps, from pre-assessment to post-assessment.
This is the evaluation phase where our pen testers will attack your cloud environment from outside based on the simulation scenario. With no knowledge of its logic, they will try to compromise the cloud systems by identifying and exploiting underlying vulnerabilities, threats, and risks. This way, you can understand how strong your security measures are, find gaps in your incident response, and improve security.
Once the test is complete, we’ll review and document the complete activity. It will include documenting the incident, vulnerabilities discovered, and how your security team responded to the incident. This will keep your team prepared to face real cyberattacks and prevent them in future. It will also help you measure the effectiveness of your cloud pen tests and improve processes.

FAQs
Please identify the answer you are seeking.
Penetration testing (pen testing) is a cybersecurity testing procedure where pen testers or ethical hackers mimic a real cyberattacker by identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities and attacking the organisation’s IT infrastructure. This is a simulated attack that tests an organisation’s security posture and helps improve it with valuable remediation suggestions.
Pen testing is mainly of three types:
Penetration testers (pen testers) perform cloud security testing typically from outside the organisation, which means they don’t know the internal IT infrastructure. Pen testers have formal cybersecurity or computer science education or they can be self-taught. They possess skills like computer networking, coding, and understanding of cybersecurity technologies in addition to communication and problem-solving.
Pen testing involves conducting the test across an organisation’s IT infrastructure, including its on-premises and cloud systems and services. On the other hand, cloud pen testing focuses only on testing an organisation’s cloud infrastructure.
The pricing of a pen test can differ based on your organisation’s size, complexity, endpoints, attack surface, scope of testing, type of attack scenario, and the pen testing service provider you choose.
