What is Azure Penetration Testing?
Vumetric’s Azure Penetration Testing service is a thorough and expert-led examination of your Azure cloud infrastructure. We look closely at key parts of your Azure system, like network setup, user access, data security, and how well your endpoints are protected. Our team simulates real cyberattack methods to find weak spots and risks. We employ a range of industry-leading penetration testing methodologies like MITRE ATT&CK, OWASP for cloud-hosted apps, OSSTMM for network components, and ISSAF, ensuring a thorough examination of your cloud-based assets. This way, we not only spot problems that exist now but also help you get ready for future security challenges by following the latest best practices.
Our service stands out because we use both automated scans and manual expert testing. This combination means we catch a wide range of security issues – from common ones to those that are harder to spot. Our team knows Azure inside out, so we give you advice that fits exactly what your organization needs. We test your Azure environment against the Microsoft Azure Security Benchmark v3 and other important standards like NIST and ISO. You get a clear plan from us, showing you what to fix first to make your Azure setup safer and more secure for the long run.
