Google Cloud Platform
Penetration Testing
Our GCP penetration tests identify and fix insecure configurations as well as exploitable vulnerabilities within your infrastructure.
Why is Google Cloud Penetration Testing Important?
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 services allow you to validate that your configurations are secure and determine exactly how your infrastructure may be compromised.
How Hackers Can Breach Your GCP
The Google Cloud Platform shares various similarities when it comes to the risks users face in regards to cloud misconfigurations and potential angles of attacks hackers can use to breach your infrastructure. Here are some common methods used by attackers:
Application/Server Vulnerabilities
Social Engineering
Internal Employees
Git Repositories
3rd Parties
Password Re-use

Types of GCP Exploits we Attempt
Our experts will attempt various types of attack scenarios commonly used by attackers to exploit your Google Cloud infrastructure, including:
- Escalation controls for all members with access to your environment.
- Lack of privilege assessment
- Analysis and exploitation of the Kubernetes engine configuration.
- Security mechanisms testing.
- Best practices analysis: event logs / Stackdriver monitoring, encryption, built-in security tools, etc.
- External perimeter assessment testing
- Elevation of privileges and abuse between users / projects
- Revision of cloud configurations and code of cloud functions
- Pivoting between cloud environments. (abuse of multi-cloud approvals)
