Cloud Penetration Testing
Cloud environments have become the critical infrastructure of modern organizations but also a preferred target for attackers.
Cloud penetration testing evaluates the security posture of cloud resources, permissions, configurations and services—just as a real attacker would.
The assessment is designed to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, excessive permissions and security gaps that could enable: unauthorized access, resource takeover, data leakage, or disruption to business operations.
Uncover Critical Vulnerabilities in Your Cloud Environment Before Attackers Do
Cloud misconfigurations are one of the leading causes of severe security incidents.
Excessive permissions, exposed services, leaked keys or poor environment segregation—all of these enable attackers to move quickly and cause significant damage.
At RedEntry we conduct cloud penetration testing according to leading standards (NIST, PTES, CSA, MITRE) with full alignment to your organization’s architecture, services, and unique risk profile.
Our assessments combine advanced automated tools with in-depth manual research to uncover complex and advanced vulnerabilities.
Critical Vulnerabilities Identified in Cloud Penetration Testing:
- Excessive permissions (IAM over-permissioning) and privilege abuse
- Exposure of storage resources (S3 / Blob / Buckets) and sensitive data
- Leakage of secret keys, APIs, and tokens
- Misconfigurations in networking services and security groups
- Unauthorized access to compute resources (VMs, containers, functions)
- Bypassing cloud security and monitoring mechanisms
- Lateral movement across accounts, projects or subscriptions
- Vulnerabilities in managed services
- Insecure hybrid cloud connections
- Weaknesses in CI/CD pipelines and cloud automation processes

Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at CHEQ
“We worked with RedEntry on a large-scale application penetration test, and the team exceeded all our expectations.
Even before the project began, they took the time to understand our needs, analyzed our systems in depth, and presented us with a clear and accurate picture of the risks. The testing was carried out thoroughly, transparently, and precisely—with detailed reports and practical recommendations that could be implemented immediately.
I highly recommend RedEntry to any organization that wants to ensure its security truly meets the highest standards.”
Advantages of Cloud Penetration Testing
Cloud penetration testing provides significant advantages—both security-related and business-related:
Real-time vulnerability detection
Identifying security gaps, misconfigurations and excessive permissions in cloud environments.
Compliance with standards and regulations
Supporting security and regulatory requirements such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR and privacy protection laws.
Evaluation of defense mechanisms and system performance
Practical testing of protection, monitoring and incident response mechanisms.
Prevention of breaches and data leaks
Simulating real-world cloud attacks before they occur in practice.
Reduction of business and operational risks
Minimizing exposure to financial damage, reputational harm and service disruptions.
Continuous improvement of organizational security posture
Providing actionable recommendations to strengthen security and harden the cloud environment over time.
Types of Cloud Penetration Testing
AWS Cloud Penetration Testing
A comprehensive assessment of the Amazon Web Services environment, including IAM, compute, storage and networking services. The test focuses on identifying excessive permissions, misconfigurations, resource exposure and abuse of managed services.
Azure Cloud Penetration Testing
Security assessment of the Microsoft Azure environment with emphasis on Azure AD, permissions, networks and managed services. The test evaluates common attack scenarios, environment segmentation and the ability for lateral movement within the cloud.
GCP Cloud Penetration Testing
Security testing for Google Cloud Platform, including IAM, projects, storage services and APIs. The goal is to identify unauthorized access, data exposure and risky configurations.
Oracle Cloud Penetration Testing
A dedicated security assessment for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), focusing on networks, identities and critical resources. The test identifies security gaps that could allow unauthorized access or impact business systems.
