Put Your Cloud to the Ultimate Test

Don't Let Simulation Become Reality

Bishop Fox's Cloud Penetration Testing combines best-in-class technology and deep cloud expertise to test your cloud environment and its weaknesses against the most common attack pathways. Starting with an objective-based approach, we put you in the driver’s seat with complete control of the outcome of your test. You define the scenario to achieve a true depiction of what would happen if a skilled adversary took aim at your protected assets.

Peeling back the complex layers of your cloud environment, we put your environment to the test against the same tactics, techniques, and procedures you’re likely to face in a real-world encounter. Extending analysis beyond simple misconfigurations and vulnerabilities, our assessors will uncover a variety of weaknesses and gaps - from unguarded entry points to overprivileged access and vulnerable internal pathways. Cutting through the noise that plagues baseline testing, we focus your security team where it makes the biggest impact.

Delivering actionable insights and prescriptive recommendations based on the issues attackers are most likely to exploit, your team can focus their time and efforts on findings that ultimately improves resiliency to shut future attackers out before they even have a chance.

Test Beyond the Baseline

Test Your Cloud Environment Against the Latest Attacker Techniques

Our Cloud Penetration Testing engagement tests your cloud ecosystem against todays most advanced adversary tradecraft. As a result, we deliver valuable, focused insights into tactical and strategic mitigations that make the most impact.
