Secure your cloud services against the latest cyber security threats
Overview: Cloud Penetration Testing
With a focus on Cloud Penetration Testing, we aim to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers, ultimately ensuring the safety of your cloud environment.
Understanding Cloud Penetration Testing
In today’s digital landscape, businesses rely heavily on cloud infrastructure to store and manage their data. This shift towards the cloud offers undeniable benefits, but it also presents security challenges. It’s a proactive approach to security, designed to safeguard your cloud assets and sensitive data. Our team of experts is well-versed in the intricacies of cloud security. We understand that securing your cloud environment requires a deep understanding of not only the cloud infrastructure itself but also the potential risks and threats that can compromise it.
VULNERABILITIES
Web Application Vulnerabilities
Quint’s web application penetration testing service is designed to evaluate the security of both internally developed proprietary web applications and those sourced from third-party vendors.
Our comprehensive testing methodology includes assessing applications for vulnerabilities outlined in the OWASP Top 10, SANS25, OSSTMM, and so on which represents the most critical application security risks. Our expert web application security testing team will diligently identify vulnerabilities, including but not limited to:
- Injection flaws
- Authentication weaknesses
- Poor session management
- Broken access controls
- Security misconfigurations
- Database interaction errors
- Input validation problems
- Flaws in application logic
METHODOLOGY
Our Approach to Cloud Penetration Testing
Our approach to Cloud Penetration Testing is comprehensive and effective. We go beyond surface-level assessments and dive deep into your cloud infrastructure, employing industry-leading techniques and methodologies.
One of the cornerstones of our Cloud Penetration approach is the thorough assessment of security controls. These controls act as the guardians of your cloud infrastructure, and their effectiveness is paramount in defending against potential threats. We delve deep into the configuration and operation of these controls to ensure they are not just present but also configured correctly and capable of providing the intended level of protection.
Our team of experienced penetration testers leverages industry-leading techniques and methodologies to evaluate the efficacy of your security controls. This involves simulating real-world attack scenarios to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in your cloud security posture. By mimicking the tactics of malicious actors, we can assess whether your security controls can withstand various cyber threats and, if not, recommend necessary improvements.
Misconfigurations are among the most common and easily exploited vulnerabilities in cloud environments. A simple oversight in the configuration settings can expose sensitive data, grant unauthorized access, or leave your cloud infrastructure susceptible to cyberattacks. Therefore, our approach includes a meticulous review of your cloud configurations to identify and rectify any security gaps.
During the configuration review, we examine various aspects of your cloud environment, including network settings, access controls, authentication mechanisms, and data storage configurations. We compare your configurations against industry best practices and compliance standards to ensure that they meet the required security standards. Any discrepancies or misconfigurations are documented, and remediation recommendations are provided to address these issues promptly.
Beyond security controls and configuration settings, we take a holistic view of your cloud infrastructure through architecture analysis. The overall architecture of your cloud environment plays a crucial role in determining its resilience against cyber threats. Our team evaluates the design of your cloud infrastructure to identify any weaknesses or architectural flaws that could be exploited by attackers.
During the architecture analysis, we assess the logical and physical layout of your cloud resources, the interconnections between components, and the access pathways within your cloud environment. We pay special attention to potential single points of failure, overprivileged accounts, and design decisions that might inadvertently create security vulnerabilities. By scrutinizing the architecture, we aim to uncover hidden risks and recommend architectural changes to enhance security.

Process
Process For Web App Pen Testing
A web application penetration test follows a cyclic process, continually iterating until all vulnerabilities are identified and addressed. It involves replicating attacker techniques, focusing on the web application environment and setup. The process includes scoping, information gathering, network mapping, threat modeling, attack execution, and reporting. The testing concludes with a customized report that highlights vulnerabilities by severity and ease of exploitation, along with prioritized guidance for remediation.
