Types of GCP Exploits we Attempt
- 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)

Do we need Google's permission to test our infrastructure?
Google’s authorization is not required in order to conduct Penetration Tests within the Google Cloud environment.
However, specific guidelines from Google must be respected to ensure that you are targeting the environment for which you are responsible to secure.
How do you test GCP infrastructures?
We have created a set of virtual images including all the necessary tools to perform a penetration test of the Google Cloud environment. This penetration test allows us to validate the security of elements specific to the Google Cloud infrastructure and to test various attack scenarios regularly used by hackers to penetrate through your security measures and exploit vulnerabilities.
Our specialists validate the security of elements specific to Google Cloud, such as:
• Escalation Controls for all members with access to your environment.
• Lack of privilege assessment and attempts to exploit to demonstrate what an attacker might do with this additional access.
• Analysis and exploitation of the Kubernetes engine configuration.
• Security mechanisms testing. (Can we get around your security controls? Can we perform malicious acts or exfiltrate data without being detected?)
• Best practices analysis: event logs / Stackdriver monitoring, encryption, built-in security tools, etc.
• Verifying your external perimeter from the inside to assess what should not be exposed to the public internet?
• Elevation of privileges and abuse between users / projects and organization.
• Revision of cloud configurations and code of cloud functions.
• Pivoting between cloud environments. (abuse of multi-cloud approvals)
How often should i conduct a GCP penetration test?
Do you follow a methodology?
Our services are based on a complete methodology that we provide with each project proposal. This proposal describes the test steps and all the requirements to perform the test.
Our application penetration test methodology complies with OWASP standards, which is the industry standard for application security.
