Need of Securing AWS Cloud Environment
Data Protection -
Securing data ensures its confidentiality, integrity, and availability, protecting it from unauthorized access, tampering, and disruptions.
Cost-Effective -
Outsourcing AWS 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.
Mitigating Risks -
Implementing security measures reduces the likelihood of data breaches and vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.
Protecting Business Operations-
Securing cloud environments ensures continuous availability of services and prevents incidents that could damage the organization’s reputation and operations.
Managing Costs -
Effective security prevents financial losses from breaches and optimizes the use of cloud resources, avoiding unnecessary expenses.
Ensuring Proper Configuration -
Properly configuring cloud resources with appropriate security settings prevents misconfigurations that could expose the environment to risks.
Supporting Organizational Goals -
A secure cloud 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.
