Pentera Cloud
About the product
Pentera Cloud is a module designed for automatic security testing of cloud infrastructure (including IaaS/PaaS services in AWS, Azure, GCP). Pentera Cloud enables secure simulation of attacks on an organization’s cloud resources in its actual production environment. This module discovers and maps all relevant elements of the cloud environment (computing instances, databases, storage, privileged accounts, etc.) in different regions, and then verifies configurations for vulnerabilities and errors that could lead to security breaches. Pentera Cloud tests, among other things, common cloud attack vectors (e.g., cloud service privilege abuse, flawed resource access policies, publicly accessible services requiring authentication, etc.), checking the cloud’s resilience to techniques described in MITRE ATT&CK for Cloud. This module can also analyze attack paths between the cloud and the local network, detecting scenarios in which an attacker exploits weaknesses in the hybrid environment (e.g., pivoting from on-premises networks to cloud services or vice versa). At the end of the tests, Pentera Cloud generates a report identifying potential attack chains involving cloud services, reveals critical configuration vulnerabilities, and recommends corrective actions.
Pentera Cloud is used by organizations that use cloud infrastructure or platforms and want to verify their cloud security status. This module helps identify non-compliance with cloud service configuration practices (e.g., improper IAM permissions, public S3 buckets containing sensitive data, lack of key encryption, or exposed API secret keys). With automated testing, DevOps teams and security teams can quickly verify the security of new cloud deployments (e.g., after deploying a new service or changing the configuration). Pentera Cloud is also useful for compliance audits (e.g., CIS Benchmarks, ISO27017, etc.). It allows companies operating in a hybrid model to ensure that the integration of their local data center with the cloud does not create unintended attack vectors.

Benefits of Implementation
Enhanced cloud security: Detects cloud-specific vulnerabilities, such as misconfigured permissions or network resources, before they can be exploited by attackers. It also reveals potential attack paths between the cloud and the corporate network, strengthening overall protection.
Adaptation to dynamic environments: Cloud environments are subject to frequent changes (scaling, new services). Pentera Cloud provides continuous validation even in rapidly changing environments, ensuring that new threats arising from changes in the cloud are identified immediately.
Configuration optimization and compliance: The module provides detailed recommendations on how to improve cloud service configurations (e.g., close unnecessarily open ports, restrict access to keys), helping to maintain compliance with security policies and industry standards.
Saving time and expert resources: Manual security testing of a complex cloud is complex and time-consuming. The automation offered by Penter Cloud speeds up this process and reduces costs compared to hiring external auditors or cloud security consultants.
