Cloud Penetration Testing

Uncover IAM privilege escalation, misconfigured S3/Blob storage, Kubernetes cluster exploits, and serverless vectors across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

AWS, Azure & GCP

Multi-Cloud & Hybrid Auditing

CIS Benchmarks

Full IAM & Kubernetes Scope

Zero Downtime

Safe Cloud Infrastructure Auditing

CORE ADVANTAGES

Why Leading Organizations Trust Vaeto Cloud Pentesting

Automated CSPM scanners only check config checkboxes. Our security team simulates real adversary cloud account takeovers.

IAM Privilege Escalation

Probing complex IAM policy paths to identify how low-privilege service accounts can escalate to full cloud admin access.

Kubernetes & Container Security

Testing container breakout vectors, EKS/AKS service account abuse, and unauthenticated Kubelet API access.

IaC & Terraform Remediation

Providing actionable Terraform and CloudFormation code patches so your team can remediate flaws directly in code.

30-Day Re-Testing SLA

Deploy cloud policy fixes with confidence. We re-test all remediated cloud vulnerabilities at zero extra charge.

CLOUD AUDIT SCOPE

Cloud Security Risk Matrix

Aligned with CIS Cloud Benchmarks & AWS/Azure/GCP Security Architecture Guidelines.

CLOUD-01CRITICAL

IAM Role Over-Privileging & Wildcard Policies

Excessive IAM permissions (`*:*`) allowing malicious users or compromised roles to escalate privileges to full cloud admin.

CLOUD-02CRITICAL

Exposed S3 Buckets & Blob Storage Containers

Publicly readable or writable cloud storage buckets leaking confidential customer records or environment secrets.

CLOUD-03CRITICAL

Kubernetes Cluster Misconfigurations & Unauth Kubelet

Exposed Kubelet APIs, over-privileged ServiceAccounts, and container breakout risks across EKS, AKS, and GKE.

CLOUD-04HIGH

Serverless Function Injection & Secret Exposure

AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, or Cloud Functions vulnerable to event injection or environment variable credential leaks.

CLOUD-05HIGH

Insecure Cloud Metadata Access (IMDSv1)

Unprotected Instance Metadata Service (169.254.169.254) endpoints allowing SSRF attacks to steal IAM tokens.

CLOUD-06HIGH

Hardcoded Cloud API Credentials in Code

AWS Access Keys, Azure Service Principal secrets, or GCP service account JSON keys committed to git repositories.

CLOUD-07MEDIUM

Unrestricted Security Group & Firewall Rules

Security Groups or VPC Network ACLs configured with `0.0.0.0/0` exposure for SSH, RDP, or database ports.

CLOUD-08MEDIUM

Container Registry (ECR/GCR) Image Flaws

Container images deployed to production containing unpatched CVEs, hardcoded SSH keys, or default root users.

CLOUD-09HIGH

Missing MFA on Cloud Admin Console

Root and Administrator accounts lacking mandatory hardware token or TOTP Multi-Factor Authentication.

CLOUD-10HIGH

Insecure Multi-Tenant Resource Isolation

Cross-account trust relationship flaws allowing external cloud accounts to assume roles within your cloud environment.
