A Checklist for Cloud Penetration Testing

Mon., 5. August 2024 | 1 min read

Cloud penetration testing allows a security team to identify vulnerabilities in a cloud system, improve cybersecurity and reduce losses related to cyberattacks. A checklist is crucial for cloud penetration testing because it ensures testing is extensive, structured and visible to all stakeholders. With a checklist, your cloud pen testing will be robust.

Cloud Pen Testing Checklist

We have created a checklist to ensure that cloud pen testing is extensive. The checklist is broken down into three phases: Analyze, Execute and Remediate. The first phase consists of preliminary activities to gather information and prepare for cloud pen testing. The second phase conducts tests to find vulnerabilities and the last phase fixes these vulnerabilities. Each phase is divided into sub-phases based on the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG). The sub-phases contain the individual tests.
