Cloud penetration testing evaluates the security of cloud-hosted data and services, employing methodologies similar to external penetration tests without requiring on-site presence. It encompasses various services, including IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, hybrid cloud testing, compliance testing, and social engineering techniques. Industry-standard methodologies such as OSSTMM, NIST SP 800-115, and OWASP guides are employed to ensure thorough examination of cloud security.

3. What Is Cloud Penetration Testing
 Cloud penetration testing is often performed in a
similar fashion to external penetration test where
your organization’s data is hosted with one of the
main cloud service providers. VeriClouds is not
needed at the customer site to perform the
pentest or to establish VPN connections where as
with on-prem penetration testing, this would be
required.

5. Testing It Offers
 Clouds Cloud Penetration Testing:
 Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
 Platform as a Service (PaaS)
 Software as a Service (SaaS)
 Cloud hybrid testing (On premise and public cloud
based solutions)
 Cloud Compliance Testing (PCI DSS, HIPPA, GLBA,
and FFIEC regulations)
 Social engineering options available that imitate
techniques used by hackers to target your employees
to obtain your company’s private information

7. Methods Used
 Cloud Penetration Testing use industry-proven
methodologies, such as:
 Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual
(“OSSTMM”)
 The National Institute of Standards and Technology
(“NIST”) Special Publication 800 (“NIST SP 800-115”)
 Open Web Application Security Project (“OWASP”) Testing
Guide
 Penetration Testing Execution Standard
 Penetration Testing Framework
 As well as, proven techniques that blackhat hackers utilize
