Need of Securing Azure Cloud Environment
Data Protection -
Securing data in Azure ensures its confidentiality, integrity, and availability, protecting it from unauthorized access, tampering, and disruptions.
Cost-Effective -
Outsourcing Azure security services to CyberSapiens offers a cost-effective alternative to maintaining an in-house team. You benefit from advanced technologies and a team of experienced experts without the added costs of training and infrastructure.
Compliance and Regulatory Requirements-
Adhering to legal and industry standards avoids penalties and builds trust by demonstrating adherence to necessary security practices in Azure environments.
Mitigating Risks -
Implementing security measures in Azure reduces the likelihood of data breaches and vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.
Protecting Business Operations-
Securing Azure cloud environments ensures continuous availability of services and prevents incidents that could damage the organization’s reputation and operations.
Managing Costs -
Effective security in Azure prevents financial losses from breaches and optimizes the use of cloud resources, avoiding unnecessary expenses.
Ensuring Proper Configuration -
Properly configuring Azure cloud resources with appropriate security settings prevents misconfigurations that could expose the environment to risks.
Supporting Organizational Goals -
A secure Azure environment enables innovation and scalability, allowing organizations to confidently adopt new technologies and grow their infrastructure.
Types of Cloud Pentests we provide:
These are the testing techniques we utilise and the systematic approach combining several strategies designed to achieve specific goals. These techniques include Black Box Testing, White Box Testing, and Gray Box Testing, each contributing uniquely to the overall assessment of the application.
Also known as Clear Box testing, this approach grants penetration testers full administrative access to the cloud infrastructure, including configurations and source code. With complete visibility, the testers perform a detailed analysis to uncover internal and external vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and weaknesses in the cloud architecture.
In Gray Box testing, penetration testers are provided with limited knowledge of the cloud systems, such as partial access to user accounts or restricted administrative privileges. This simulates an attack from a semi-insider perspective, focusing on identifying vulnerabilities that could be exploited by someone with partial insider knowledge.

FAQs
Azure penetration testing is a security assessment that simulates real-world attacks on an organization's Azure cloud environment to uncover and mitigate vulnerabilities in cloud infrastructure and services.
It helps identify potential security risks in Azure environments, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data, applications, and services hosted in Microsoft Azure.
To scope an Azure Pen Test, details such as the services being used, the systems to be tested, the testing methodology, and compliance requirements are necessary. CyberSapiens collaborates with clients to gather this information and define the appropriate scope.
The duration of an Azure Pen Test depends on the complexity and size of the environment, typically ranging from a few days to several weeks. CyberSapiens provides a specific timeline based on the scope and infrastructure.
The primary objectives are to identify vulnerabilities, evaluate the effectiveness of security controls, and provide actionable recommendations to improve the security posture of your Azure environment.
The process generally includes reconnaissance, vulnerability identification, exploitation, and reporting. CyberSapiens follows a structured approach to ensure thorough and detailed assessments.
Scoping involves defining the Azure resources and services to be tested, such as virtual machines, storage accounts, databases, and identity management services. CyberSapiens works closely with clients to ensure all critical elements are included in the scope.
Yes, Azure penetration testing can include both internal assessments (within the Azure environment) and external assessments (from outside the Azure cloud) to fully understand potential threats.
Penetration tests for Azure environments should be conducted regularly, typically on an annual basis or after significant changes to cloud infrastructure. CyberSapiens advises clients on the best schedule based on their security needs.
Without regular Azure penetration testing, organizations may face undetected vulnerabilities, which could be exploited by attackers, leading to data breaches, system downtime, or regulatory non-compliance.
