Services
Cloud Security
Secure your cloud infrastructure against the latest cybersecurity threats.
Cloud Security Key Areas
Data Breaches
Protect sensitive data stored in the cloud through encryption, access control and security by design principles from unauthorized access or data breaches.
Account Hijacking
Deploy multi-factor authentication and continuous monitoring to prevent unauthorized access to cloud accounts and services, safeguarding against hijacking attempts.
Misconfiguration Risks
Identify and mitigate risks associated with misconfigured cloud services and resources through automated tools and regular audits.
Insecure APIs
Ensure the security of APIs used within your cloud environment by enforcing strong authentication, authorization protocols, and regular security assessments.
Insufficient Logging and Monitoring
Implement robust logging and monitoring to detect and respond to suspicious activities in real-time.
Compliance and Legal Risks
Address compliance requirements and mitigate legal risks associated with cloud data storage and processing.
How Cloud Security Works
Explore the methodology of Cloud Security.
Step 1: Planning and Scoping
Define the scope of the cloud security assessment, establish testing objectives, and select appropriate methodologies and tools. This can include the cloud environment account details, audit user role and more.
Step 2: Configuration and Compliance Assessment
Analyze configurations and settings of operating systems, network controls, applications, IAM policies, and data protection measures to ensure compliance with configuration baselines and benchmarks such as CIS.
Step 3: Vulnerability and Patch Management
Evaluate vulnerability management practices and patch management processes to address vulnerabilities identified.
Step 4: Audit and Reporting
Conduct audits to verify adherence to benchmarks and generate comprehensive reports detailing findings, including non-compliance issues and recommendations.
Step 6: Reporting and Recommendations
Document findings, provide detailed reports outlining discovered vulnerabilities, their severity, and recommendations for remediation.
Step 7: Remediation and Retesting
We offer technical support and consulting to assist your team in understanding and implementing recommended fixes. Once fixes are implemented, conduct retesting to ensure that vulnerabilities have been adequately addressed.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Explore common questions about our services related to Cloud Security.
What is cloud security?
Cloud Security assesses the security of cloud environments by simulating attacks to identify vulnerabilities and improve defenses.
Why is cloud security important?
Cloud Security assessments helps uncover weaknesses in cloud infrastructure and applications, allowing organizations to mitigate risks and enhance overall security posture.
How often should cloud security assessments be performed?
Cloud penetration testing should be conducted regularly, especially after significant changes or updates to infrastructure, to ensure ongoing protection against evolving threats.
What are the benefits of security hardening in cloud environments?
Security hardening strengthens cloud defenses by implementing best practices, configurations, and controls to reduce attack surfaces and enhance resilience against cyber threats.
Who performs cloud security assessments?
Cloud security assessments is typically performed by skilled security professionals known as penetration testers or ethical hackers. These individuals possess deep knowledge of cybersecurity principles, attack methodologies, and various tools and techniques used in penetration testing. Our testers are CREST or CSTL accredited and are often CHECK Team Leaders or CSTL, and usually hold certificates such as Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) or similar credentials that validate their expertise in the field.
