Cloud Penetration Testing and Security

DeepSeas helps organizations uncover exploitable weaknesses across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS environments through manual penetration testing and adversary simulation. Testing examines identity, permissions, configurations, exposed services, APIs, secrets, logging, and cloud boundaries to reveal attack paths automated tools miss. Receive practical remediation guidance, proof of exploitation, and complimentary retesting within six months.

Our Cloud Security Services

Manual testing and adversary simulation identify exploitable cloud weaknesses, attack paths, configuration issues, and security gaps.

Cloud Penetration Testing

DeepSeas tests IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS environments manually and with automated scanning to uncover exploitable weaknesses, validate attack paths, and provide actionable remediation guidance.

Cloud Attack Surface

Assess exposed cloud assets, services, APIs, and boundaries to identify reachable entry points and overlooked risks across accounts, subscriptions, and environments.

Identity Access Testing

Evaluate roles, permissions, trust relationships, authentication paths, and credential exposure to determine how an attacker could move from access to sensitive resources.

Hybrid Cloud Testing

Test integrated on-premises and cloud environments to uncover attack paths crossing infrastructure boundaries, connected accounts, workloads, and administrative control planes.

Adversary Simulation

Use real attacker tradecraft and manual validation to demonstrate whether defenses can detect and prevent realistic intrusion paths across cloud environments.

Remediation Retesting

Receive proof-of-exploitation documentation, tactical and strategic recommendations, and complimentary remediation retesting within six months to validate corrective work.

Manual Cloud Security Testing

Find Cloud Weaknesses Before Attackers Do

Cloud compromises often begin with identity, permission, configuration, or trust issues rather than traditional unpatched software. DeepSeas examines your cloud environment across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, combining automated scanning with manual testing by certified ethical hackers. The engagement connects initial footholds to sensitive data, production workloads, or administrative control planes, then provides evidence-based remediation guidance and retesting within six months.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cloud penetration testing and how does IT work?

Cloud penetration testing is an authorized security assessment that simulates realistic attacks against cloud environments such as IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. DeepSeas combines automated scanning with manual testing to examine identity, permissions, configurations, exposed services, APIs, secrets, logging, and boundaries between environments. Testers safely validate real weaknesses, document attack paths and evidence, and provide remediation guidance without treating scan output as the final answer.
