What we look for
Cloud vulnerabilities we hunt for
Cloud breaches come from misconfiguration and over-privileged identities, not zero-days. We hunt the flaws that let an attacker turn a small foothold into control of your environment.
Identity & Access Management Flaws
Over-privileged roles and policies that let a small foothold escalate to full account control.
We test for
- Privilege escalation paths
- Wildcard and over-broad policies
- Unused and stale credentials
- Cross-account trust abuse
Storage & Data Exposure
Publicly accessible or misconfigured storage that leaks sensitive data.
We test for
- Public buckets and blobs
- Misconfigured ACLs and policies
- Unencrypted data at rest
- Snapshot and backup exposure
Network & Service Misconfiguration
Exposed services and permissive rules that widen the cloud attack surface.
We test for
- Open security groups and firewall rules
- Exposed management interfaces
- Insecure default services
- Public database endpoints
Secrets & Key Management
Hardcoded or poorly protected secrets that unlock the wider environment.
We test for
- Secrets in code, metadata, and environment
- Key rotation and scoping
- Metadata service (SSRF) abuse
- Secret manager configuration

Field notes from the offensive side
Offense in Depth in Red Team Operations
Defense in depth layers protection. Offense in depth layers attack paths so a red team still reaches its objective when one route fails. Here is how it works.
Security Between Penetration Tests
An annual pentest covers two weeks and leaves fifty uncovered. Here is how to secure the rest of the year without waiting for the next scheduled engagement.
The Limits of AI in Penetration Testing
AI is changing penetration testing, but it will not replace human testers. Here is what it does well, where it falls short, and why judgment still wins.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What teams most often ask before
scoping cloud penetration testing.
01What does a cloud penetration test cover?
We assess your AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud environment for the misconfigurations, over-privileged identities, and exposed services that let an attacker move from a small foothold to broad control, benchmarked against cloud security best practices.
02Is this the same as a cloud configuration review?
A configuration review checks settings against a benchmark. A penetration test goes further by chaining findings into real attack paths, showing how a misconfiguration actually leads to compromise rather than just flagging it.
03Do you need access to our cloud account?
For the most thorough results we recommend a scoped level of access so we can assess identity and configuration from the inside, but we can also test from an external attacker perspective. We agree the exact approach during scoping.
