AWS pen test
The cloud computing system had transformed the practices where industries store, process and scale evidence. But the higher the cloud is raised, so are its weaknesses. Data exposure, compliance destructions, or system overthrows may be the result of misconfigurations, open storing buckets, and weak IAM policies.
It is here that AWS pen test and cloud penetration testing come in offering an all-inclusive defence strategy to your cloud environments within an organization.
At Aardwolf security, we assist businesses to be ahead of attackers by providing expert testing and customized cloud security tests.
What Is AWS Penetration Testing?
AWS (Amazon Web Services) is one of the most trustworthy cloud platforms in the world, and still, there is no system that cannot be overcome. AWS pen test refers to the practice of pretending to attack your AWS infrastructure in an ethically sound way in order to identify vulnerabilities before they could be exploited by malicious actors.
Key Areas Tested
- S3 bucket permissions
- EC2 instance configuration
- Vulnerabilities of API endpoints and gateway.
- Weaknesses of IAM (Identity and Access Management) policy.
VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) security.
These tests evaluate the security of your AWS configuration not of the part of Amazon, but yours, as the users have application-level security as well as configuration-level security.
The reason why Cloud penetration testing is necessary.
All cloud providers are based on a shared responsibility model where the provider secures the infrastructure and customers are required to secure their configurations, applications and data.
Typical weaknesses that Aardwolf Security will identify during cloud penetration testing are:
- Wrongly configured access control exposing private information.
- Poorly deprotected encryption keys.
- Poor authentication systems.
- Unsecured APIs or unsecured endpoints.
- Obsolete or unpatched virtual machines.
Unidentified these problems will provide attackers with an open request in your atmosphere.
Aardwolf Security Testing Framework.
Our procedure is put together in the form of thoroughness and transparency.
1. Planning & Scoping
We determine the extent of the engagement, based on your needs in cloud architecture and compliance (AWS, Azure or GCP).
2. Reconnaissance
Our testers trace your cloud ecosystem knowledge flows, network topology and requirements.
3. Vulnerability Detection
We do this by combining automatic tools and by hand checking to detect the weaknesses which are not normally detected by digital scanner.
4. Exploitation
Attack pathways are simulated in a real-world scenario by ethical hackers in order to gauge the risk effect and ensure that systems can survive a continuous testing process.
5. Post-Exploitation
We see the extent to which attackers would go through your system, identify risks of privilege escalation and information exfiltration.
6. Reporting and Consultation
The statement would be detailed and easy to understand with a management summary, technical failure, and prioritized mitigation measures.
Compliance Benefits
Our testing methodology is favorable to regulatory frameworks such as:
- ISO 27001
- SOC 2 Type II
- GDPR
- HIPAA
- PCI DSS
The reports provided by Aardwolf Security can be provided as a part of compliance audits, which will prove that you are interested in active risk management.
