Qualysec’s Cloud Penetration Testing methodology blends configuration analysis with actual penetration testing to uncover vulnerabilities in cloud environments such as AWS, GCP, and Microsoft Azure. Our assessments simulate real-world threats from compromised users, applications, or other sources. Our time-limited assessments emphasize the practical effects of misconfigurations, as we strive to achieve specific objectives like obtaining privileged credentials, controlling crucial services, or accessing sensitive data.

The Methodology document provides a brief overview of the penetration testing process, which consists of the following phases:
– Pre-assessment
– Discovery and Testing
– Analysis
– Report generation
