Amazon AWS
Penetration Testing
Our AWS penetration tests identify and fix insecure configurations as well as exploitable vulnerabilities within your infrastructure.
Why is AWS Penetration Testing Important?
AWS penetration tests are different from regular assessments, as they have their own set of validations specific to the 90+ services offered by the platform. While some vulnerabilities are managed and mitigated by Amazon, the immense flexibility that is provided to the users in setting up the environment, their assets and their user permissions creates many vulnerabilities that can have a critical impact on your business. These assessments focus on your organization’s configurations of various assets and components within your infrastructure to identify potential misconfigurations and flaws that could lead, for example, to user privilege escalation, allowing attackers to gain administrative access.
Traditional Pentest vs AWS Penetration Test
Traditional security infrastructures and AWS have significant differences and diverge in many ways. From setup, configuration to user permissions, the technology stacks could not be more distinct both in the way they function and in the way the security is managed.
The AWS platform has a great deal of powerful APIs that are leveraged to access and process assets. Deeply integrated into the AWS ecosystem, our AWS certified specialists test for a range of AWS-specific misconfigurations, including the following:
