What is Google Cloud Penetration Testing?

Google cloud penetration testing is a type of assessment designed to identify and address vulnerabilities within GCP infrastructures that could be exploited by hackers. Although Google maintains a number of security measures for the infrastructure’s backend, each organization has to secure the components configured within their environment. Our google cloud penetration tests allow you to determine exactly how your infrastructure may be compromised and to validate that your configurations are secure according to industry-leading standards.

Why Conduct a Penetration Test of Your Google Cloud Platform?

By conducting a pentest of their GCP environment, organizations can gain invaluable insights into their security risks that may lead to a successful breach. Here is what you will get after conducting a project with our team:

A penetration test will evaluate the effectiveness of your current security measures, helping you understand whether they are adequate to protect your cloud-hosted assets from potential threats and improving your ability to prevent attacks.

By simulating targeted attacks in a safe and controlled manner, our penetration testing services will ensure that your GCP infrastructure can withstand real-world threats and help develop additional measures to prevent potential breaches, giving you confidence that your critical assets and sensitive data are safe. 

Our team of experts will analyze the potential outcome of a successful breach for each vulnerability and security risk currently present in your infrastructure, enabling you to prioritize remediation efforts and allocate resources efficiently.

Our team will identify all the security risks currently present within your infrastructure, ranging from technical vulnerabilities to vulnerable configurations and weak user roles, allowing you to systematically address these issues, strengthen your overall security posture and reduce your overall risk exposure.

By uncovering and addressing vulnerabilities, our penetration testing services will help you enhance the security of your assets hosted on Google Cloud, protecting them from potential breaches that may leak sensitive data or lead to a takeover of your hosted infrastructure.

When Should You Perform a Google Cloud Platform Penetration Test?

You should conduct penetration testing of your GCP infrastructure regularly to identify and address vulnerabilities newly introduced vulnerabilities and stay up to date on the latest hacking techniques.

Our Google Cloud Pentest Services

Google’s infrastructure is designed to be secure out of the box, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be hacked. Given the wide flexibility of the platform and the number of configurations at your disposal, most infrastructures present important security risks that are unknown and specific to how your organization uses Google’s cloud functions and services.

Our services will identify vulnerabilities unique to your infrastructure and assess the security of the most critical GCP components, such as:

Common Cybersecurity Risks & Vulnerabilities Identified

Our methodology covers an extensive attack surface, identifying vulnerabilities that are unique to your GCP infrastructure, as well as the most commonly found security risks in modern cloud-hosted environments:

A security risk where attackers can exploit misconfigured Cloud Storage buckets with weak access controls or lacking encryption settings, potentially gaining unauthorized access to sensitive data stored in the buckets.

A security risk where attackers can exploit misconfigured Kubernetes clusters with weak RBAC policies, insecure network policies, or vulnerable container images, potentially compromising applications and gaining access to sensitive data.

A security risk where attackers can exploit poorly secured virtual machines with weak operating system configurations, software vulnerabilities, or open ports, potentially gaining control over the VM and its resources.

A security risk where attackers can exploit inadequate access controls or weak permission management to gain unauthorized access to GCP resources, potentially altering configurations or stealing sensitive data.

A security risk where attackers can take advantage of poorly configured network settings, firewall rules, or routing controls, potentially gaining unauthorized access to internal systems and sensitive data.

A security risk where attackers can exploit poorly secured serverless functions with weak code, insecure execution environments, or misconfigured triggers, potentially compromising the application logic and gaining unauthorized access to sensitive data.

GCP Security Shared Responsability Model

Although Google provides a secured environment to build your infrastructure, it remains your responsibility to manage the security of your cloud-hosted assets. This means that you need to ensure that your systems are compliant with all relevant security standards, and that you have appropriate security measures in place to protect your data and systems. Our recommendations will help you take full advantage of GCP’s security features, making it easier to build and maintain a secure environnement.

Common GCP Exploits to Protect Against

In order to accurately represent the security of an organization’s Google Cloud Platform environment, we attempt various attack techniques used in real-world hacking scenarios to breach your cybersecurity. By imitating the attacks of real-world adversaries, we can find and fix critical vulnerabilities susceptible of being exploited and lead to an incident

Need Help To Assess And Improve Your Cybersecurity?

Why Conduct Google Cloud Penetration Testing?

Google Cloud Platform Penetration Testing remains the most comprehensive and effective way to test the security of your Google Cloud Platform infrastructure.

Testing your GCP environment helps mitigate most vulnerabilities that could lead to a security breach. It can be customized to meet your specific needs and can be conducted in production without any impact on your live resources. Testing your infrastructure is an important part of any organization’s security strategy, and they can provide peace of mind in knowing that your cloud-hosted assets are properly secured.

What is the purpose of conducting a penetration test of your GCP infrastructure?

The purpose of conducting GCP penetration testing is to identify and evaluate security vulnerabilities within an organization’s cloud infrastructure. Penetration testing helps to identify gaps and weaknesses in the security of the google cloud environment, and provides a proactive approach to improving the overall security posture of an organization.

How is it performed? What is the process?

Our team of experts follows a comprehensive methodology that covers a range of tests targeting various components specific to GCP infrastructures. We use a combination of manual and automated penetration testing techniques to identify vulnerabilities in your environment.

Do we need Google's approval to conduct penetration testing?

If you intend to conduct penetration testing on your own Google Cloud Platform infrastructure, you are not required to contact Google for approval, according to their own FAQ. While conducting penetration tests on your  infrastructure, we meticulously follow the Cloud Platform Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service, guaranteeing that our tests only affect your projects and do not impact other customers’ applications.

What are the requirements to get started?

All we need to get started is access to your GCP environment and your permission to conduct the test. Any access requirements will be discussed with your team in a pre-launch call. Our experts will offer various solutions to access your environment in a secure manner.

Can you test applications hosted on GCP?

Yes, we can test applications hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). We offer comprehensive penetration testing of your applications hosted on GCP, examining various aspects beyond the application itself such as the underlying cloud hosting configurations, network settings, access controls, etc.

How does this fit into our overall cybersecurity strategy?

Given the sensitive nature of assets hosted in the environment and the reliance of modern business operations on cloud technologies, conduct a pentest of your Amazon AWS has become a critical tool for organizations to ensure the security and the availability of their systems and maintain a robust security posture.

Can your tests cause downtimes to our normal operations?

Our tests are designed to minimize disruption to your organization’s normal operations and the overwhelming majority of our tests are unnoticeable to our clients.
