What is cloud pen testing?

TCloud technology is a key business enabler, with cloud apps and infrastructure at the heart of today’s business operations. This makes securing those cloud technologies a number one priority for businesses. Cloud pen testing is the best way to scrutinize your cloud provider’s security and ensure your business data is protected. Target Defense uses our own expert cloud pen testers to uncover vulnerabilities, weaknesses and technical misconfigurations that a cyber attacker would target. Our most common engagements are for AWS, GCP Microsoft 365 & Azure.


Benefits of cloud penetration testing

The threat of hackers finding security flaws in your cloud apps and infrastructure increases every day. A cloud pen test from Target Defense will help you discover your cloud security flaws and make a plan to fix them.

Third-party cloud service providers own the technologies they produce and are primarily responsible for securing them. However businesses are also accountable for ensuring that the cloud is configured correctly, and securely integrated with their network. The grey area of what is known as the ‘shared responsibility’ model refers to security misconfigurations and vulnerabilities which can be introduced into the environment from either side. Cloud pen testing is the best way to uncover these hidden threats, keeping hackers out of the cloud and ensuring that businesses meet their security obligations when using cloud services.
