What is AWS penetration testing?

AWS penetration testing is a specialized cybersecurity assessment targeting environments hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). This form of security testing involves simulating cyberattacks on AWS configurations, including EC2 instances, S3 buckets, RDS databases, and more, to identify potential vulnerabilities. The goal is to uncover flaws in AWS settings, permissions, services, and applications before they can be exploited maliciously.

Conducting AWS cloud penetration tests helps organizations maintain robust security postures, adhere to best practices, and meet compliance standards within cloud environments, ensuring the protection of data and assets on the world's largest cloud platform.

Deliverables

Blaze will provide your organization with a detailed report listing all the weaknesses and misconfiguration in your cloud environment.

The report includes the following:

• Executive summary where the issues, attack scenarios and business impact are explained in a non-technical language
• A detailed description of the vulnerabilities, demonstration of attack scenarios and suggestions for fixing the issues
• A remediation prioritization matrix, helping your team to prioritize fixes and decrease risks to the environment

Reports are delivered within 5 business days from the completion of the security assessment. Retesting is free if performed within 90 days from the delivery of the final report.

The reports can be used for vendor risk assessments and compliance audits that frequently require penetration testing, such as SOC 2 type II, CCPA, GDPR, PCI- DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001 and others.
