Cloud Penetration Test

We expose hidden flaws in your cloud environments before attackers do—so your data, users, and business stay secure across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

Brief Description Of Our Cloud Penetration Test

Our Cloud Penetration Test goes far beyond basic configuration checks—we simulate how attackers exploit misconfigurations, weak identities, and exposed services across platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. By testing everything from identity and access management to storage buckets, APIs, and workload isolation, we uncover the hidden flaws that automated scanners and compliance checklists overlook. The result is a clear, actionable roadmap to harden your cloud environment—and every engagement includes a complimentary 30-day retest to verify your defenses are truly secure.

Cloud Penetration Test Deliverables

1. Identity & Access Management (IAM) Exploitation

We test for overly permissive roles, privilege escalation paths, and misconfigured trust relationships that allow attackers to move across accounts or escalate to admin.

2. Misconfiguration & Policy Abuse Review

We go beyond open storage buckets—testing security groups, firewall rules, default settings, and cross-account permissions that could allow hidden attack paths.

3. API & Service Exploitation Testing

We actively probe APIs, serverless functions, and exposed services for flaws in authentication, data handling, and permission enforcement.

4. Lateral Movement Simulation in the Cloud

We attempt to pivot between workloads, containers, or tenants to show how attackers could expand access once they gain a foothold.

5. Data Exfiltration & Stealth Testing

We simulate controlled data extraction to test whether sensitive cloud data can be stolen without triggering monitoring or alerts.

6. Key & Credential Harvesting

We search for leaked API keys, tokens, and embedded credentials in workloads, storage, or pipelines that could be abused by attackers.

7. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Security Review

We analyze Terraform, CloudFormation, or deployment templates to detect insecure defaults or hardcoded secrets before they’re deployed.

8. Cloud-Native Logging & Monitoring Gaps

We evaluate whether your detection tools (CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Sentinel, etc.) would spot attacker activity—or let it go unnoticed.

9. Multi-Cloud & Hybrid Attack Surface Testing

We assess how connections between AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and on-prem systems could be exploited as weak links in your environment.

10. Compliance & Framework Mapping

We map discovered vulnerabilities to standards like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 so you see both technical and regulatory exposure.

11. Custom Risk Prioritization

Every finding is ranked by likelihood, impact, and business risk—not just technical severity—so leadership can act on the most pressing threats.

12. Comprehensive Reporting

We deliver an Executive Summary for leadership and a Technical Report with detailed exploitation evidence, diagrams, and remediation steps for IT/security teams.

13. 30-Day Complimentary Retest

Once fixes are applied, Erebus Operation performs a free retest within 30 days to confirm vulnerabilities are closed and your cloud is truly secured.

Who Need Our Penetration Test

If your business runs anything in AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, you need a cloud penetration test—period. Misconfigurations and weak identity policies are the number one cause of cloud breaches, and automated compliance checks won’t tell you how attackers can actually chain them together. Companies that store customer data, financial records, or intellectual property in the cloud are prime targets, because attackers know one exposed API key or overly permissive role can open the entire environment. Organizations with hybrid setups (cloud + on-prem) are at even higher risk, since weak links between the two often go completely unchecked. If you’re relying on “default settings,” assuming your provider secures everything for you, or haven’t tested your workloads since major updates, you’re already vulnerable. The truth is, if downtime, data loss, or a breach would cripple your business, you don’t just benefit from a cloud penetration test—you can’t afford to skip it.

FAQ

A cloud penetration test simulates real-world attacks against your cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc.) to uncover misconfigurations, weak identities, and exploitable vulnerabilities before attackers do.

Compliance checks and scanners flag misconfigurations, but they don’t show how an attacker can chain them together. A pen test proves impact, demonstrates real-world attack paths, and validates whether your defenses can stop them.

 

Cloud providers secure the infrastructure—but you’re responsible for configurations, access controls, APIs, and workloads. Most breaches happen because of customer-side mistakes, not provider failures.

We test for IAM misconfigurations, over-permissive roles, insecure APIs, exposed data storage, weak monitoring, credential leaks, and privilege escalation opportunities.

At least once a year—or whenever major architectural changes, new deployments, or migrations occur. Frequent updates mean new risks appear faster than in traditional infrastructure.

No. Tests are carefully scoped to avoid disruption. Where needed, high-impact scenarios are simulated safely without risking downtime.

Yes. We evaluate AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and how they interact with each other or with your on-prem systems—since attackers often exploit weak links in hybrid setups.

Two reports: an executive summary that translates findings into business risk, and a technical report with detailed evidence, diagrams, and step-by-step remediation guidance.

Yes—Erebus Operation provides a complimentary 30-day retest to confirm vulnerabilities are properly remediated.

We don’t directly change configurations, but we provide actionable remediation steps and can consult with your IT/security team to validate fixes.

Most engagements last 7–10 business days, depending on environment size, complexity, and the scope of services tested.

Any organization storing sensitive data, running customer-facing applications, or relying on cloud workloads for daily operations. If downtime, data theft, or compliance failure would harm your business, you need one.
