Your cloud environment is configured. But is it secure?

CSPM tools provide automated, continuous configuration scanning against known rules – they tell you what looks misconfigured. Cloud penetration testing is manual and adversarial – our experts actively attempt to exploit misconfigurations and chain them into realistic attack paths that CSPM tools report individually but never connect. CSPM tells you what’s wrong. Cloud penetration testing shows you what’s actually exploitable and what a real attacker could achieve with it.

Yes – we define clear rules of engagement before testing begins, explicitly excluding destructive actions such as deleting resources or modifying production data. We conduct testing in a way that identifies vulnerabilities without disrupting your services, and maintain a direct communication channel throughout so any unexpected impact can be addressed immediately.

The access level depends on the testing approach we agree during scoping. Black-box testing requires no prior access. Gray-box testing starts from low-privilege credentials that simulate a realistic initial foothold. White-box testing uses read-only access to conduct the most thorough review. All access is granted through temporary, audited credentials and revoked upon engagement closure.

Yes – container and Kubernetes security is included in the scope where relevant to your environment. We test for container escape paths, Kubernetes RBAC misconfigurations, exposed API servers and dashboards, secrets stored insecurely in manifests or environment variables, and lateral movement between pods and namespaces. This covers EKS on AWS, AKS on Azure, and GKE on GCP.

Yes – we assess AWS, Azure, and GCP environments, and test multi-cloud deployments where workloads span more than one provider. Cross-cloud attack paths – where a compromise in one environment enables lateral movement into another through shared identity systems or trust relationships – are a specific focus in multi-cloud engagements.
