Cloud Penetration Testing

Cloud Penetration Testing: Also known as ethical hacking, cloud penetration testing evaluates security and discovers vulnerabilities by utilizing hacker tools and techniques.

Fix Your Organization’s Greatest Security Weakness

Cloud penetration testing empowers organizations to bolster the security of their cloud environments, prevent avoidable breaches to their systems, and remain compliant with their industry’s regulations. It does this by helping to identify vulnerabilities, risks, and gaps in a security program. The actionable remediation advice it provides allows security teams to prioritize activities and attend to security issues in alignment with their greatest business risks.

OUR APPROACH

Our Cloud Penetration Testing is based on the SANS (SysAdmin, Audit, Network, and Security) framework, which is one of the most widely recognized and well-established security standard. We focus on identifying security vulnerabilities and risks in cloud environments. We have designed our methodology to assess the overall security posture of our client’s cloud infrastructure, applications, and services.

Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) in the payment card industry involves deploying a recognized solution by the PCI council, where hardware, processes, and technology undergo rigorous testing against the current P2PE Standard v3.1 or earlier versions. The P2PE standard combines a recognized and certified PTS device with software and encryption methods to allow cardholder data to be encrypted upon swipe and transmitted encrypted throughout the merchant environment until decrypted within a decryption environment, inaccessible to the merchant.
In today’s rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, achieving and maintaining PCI compliance is more critical than ever. With the latest update to PCI DSS 4.0.1, businesses must adapt to meet new standards designed to enhance security and flexibility.
