Cloud Security Assessment

The operational cost for hosting applications on premise has increase over the past decade. Luckily, the advancement of technology within cloud solutions resolves this issue for many businesses worldwide. Popular cloud solution providers such as Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure offers cost effective deployments whilst providing enhanced security features. This could ultimately lead to businesses having a false sense of security. Optimum security can only be achieved with suitable configurations in place to suit your specific needs. 

In our experience, the downfall of applications hosted in the cloud are related to security misconfigurations. This is because the most significant security features do not come out of the box, and requires investment of time and resources to implement the suitable configurations. Although hosting applications in the cloud effectively segregates sensitive data that are traditionally stored on on premise servers, these misconfigurations could still allow an attacker to compromise the CIA of your application data.

Our expertise in penetration testing cloud environments, specifically AWS and Azure can give you a clear understanding of your security posture. Coupled with our consultancy services, we can ultimately aid in improving the security of your cloud assets all together.

Cloud security assessments are recommended to be done regularly, such as annually or whenever there are significant changes done. This is to ensure security measures are in place and up to date with the ever changing threat landscape of cyber threats.
