Kroll Penetration Testing

• Kroll Cyber Security Services help AWS customers identify, validate and reduce cyber risk across critical digital assets. Our offensive security experts assess external and internal attack surfaces, web applications, APIs, mobile applications, AWS cloud environments, network infrastructure, user-facing attack paths and security operations controls.
• Kroll delivers penetration testing as a programmatic capability, strategic advisory function and tactical testing service. We support long-running enterprise programs, annual cycles, one-off assessments, release-driven tests and objective-based exercises that answer business questions such as: Can an attacker reach a critical AWS workload or gain access to sensitive data and assets? Are segmentation and identity controls effective? Can application, API or cloud weaknesses expose sensitive data? Has remediation reduced exploitable risk?
• Kroll brings deep technical testing, frontline threat intelligence, structured project management and actionable reporting. Our Offensive Security practice includes 100+ skilled penetration testers, red teamers and application security engineers globally and performs 135,000+ testing hours per year.

Buyer problem solved

Organizations need testing that satisfies assurance requirements and improves security outcomes. Kroll converts testing from isolated findings into a repeatable risk-reduction capability.

• Programmatic testing: Kroll designs scalable testing programs across portfolios of applications, APIs, networks, cloud environments and business units. This model supports multi-year programs, annual testing calendars, centralized intake, consistent methodology, portfolio-level reporting, remediation tracking and retesting.
• Strategic testing: Kroll aligns testing to business priorities, threat intelligence, regulatory expectations, cloud transformation, critical business processes and security program maturity. Strategic testing helps buyers understand exposure, control effectiveness and where security investments reduce the most risk.
• Tactical testing: Kroll executes focused tests against specific systems, releases, cloud accounts, applications, APIs, mobile apps, internal networks, external perimeters or defined objectives. Tactical testing delivers high-confidence answers for launches, audits, customer assurance, remediation validation or urgent risk questions.

Customers outcomes:

• Identify exploitable vulnerabilities across AWS-hosted, AWS-connected and internet-facing assets
• Validate whether security controls are working as intended
• Build or mature an enterprise penetration testing program
• Execute annual, regulatory or customer-assurance testing
• Systemic program management and zero-noise deliverables
• Perform one-off tests for high-priority applications, APIs, cloud workloads or infrastructure
• Test specific objectives such as segmentation, privilege escalation, data access or cloud exposure
• Prioritize remediation by exploitability, likelihood and business impact
• Retest fixes and demonstrate measurable risk reduction
