Cloud platforms have become the foundation of modern business operations, hosting mission-critical applications, sensitive customer data, APIs, Kubernetes clusters, and enterprise workloads. While cloud providers secure the underlying infrastructure, organizations remain responsible for protecting their cloud configurations, identities, workloads, applications, and data.
Misconfigured cloud services, excessive permissions, exposed APIs, insecure storage, weak network segmentation, and vulnerable cloud-native applications create opportunities for attackers to compromise cloud environments.
NuageSec's Cloud Penetration Testing Services simulate real-world attack scenarios against cloud environments to identify exploitable vulnerabilities before malicious actors can take advantage of them.
Cloud Penetration Testing is an authorized security assessment that simulates real-world cyberattacks against cloud environments to identify vulnerabilities, validate security controls, and measure an organization's ability to withstand cloud-based attacks.
Unlike automated vulnerability scans, penetration testing demonstrates how multiple weaknesses can be chained together to compromise cloud workloads, identities, applications, storage services, or cloud infrastructure.
Cloud environments are constantly changing through new deployments, services, users, and integrations.
Skilled attackers look for paths across identity permissions, public endpoints, container environments, and APIs. We validate these vulnerabilities:
While a cloud security assessment reviews configurations and governance, a cloud penetration test simulates real-world exploit paths.
| Feature | Cloud Security Assessment | Cloud Penetration Testing |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Objective | Reviews cloud configurations and governance settings | Simulates real-world threat actors and exploits |
| Evaluation Focus | Configuration alignment and governance rules | Exploitability, role chaining, and privilege escalation |
| Analysis Scope | Reviews overall cloud infrastructure parameters | Targeted exploit validations and attack paths mapping |
| Core Outcome | Identifies compliance and configuration gaps | Demonstrates exploit paths and lateral pivots |
| Analysis Style | Defensive configuration evaluation and baselines | Controlled offensive testing and threat simulation |
