Cloud environment testing

Most cloud incidents start with a misconfiguration, not a software flaw.

Cloud penetration testing (AWS, Azure, GCP) focused on IAM, exposed buckets and storage, configuration and the cloud-native attack surface.

When this matters

A misconfigured cloud environment exposes risk without needing an exploit.

Unlike traditional infrastructure testing, a cloud assessment looks at identity, permissions between managed services and storage exposure — often the attack path never touches a software vulnerability, only a badly designed combination of permissions.

Coverage

What we assess in cloud accounts and resources.

The scope accounts for the provider, accounts, organizations and the managed services that matter to the environment.

01

IAM and permissions

Roles, policies, accumulated permissions and privilege escalation paths between identities and services.

02

Exposed storage

Buckets, containers and disks with public or incorrect permissions, or sharing beyond what is needed.

03

Cloud-native surface

Serverless functions, queues, containers, instance metadata and integrations between managed services.

04

Configuration and secrets

Keys, environment variables, logs and settings that can expose credentials or sensitive data.

Inside the delivery

See how this work takes shape.

From technical alignment to delivery, the work has to leave context, evidence and next steps visible to everyone involved.

Process

An assessment oriented to the account, not just the host.

Reconnaissance covers identities, policies and relationships between services, on top of the assets published to the internet.

01

Scope and rules of engagement

We document assets, access, limits, execution window and owners before any activity starts.

02

Guided assessment

Vorvex specialists carry out the work, with Apex supporting reconnaissance, correlation and evidence handling.

03

Validation and prioritization

Findings are analyzed for exploitability, technical impact and consequence for the business.

04

Report and retest

We deliver reproducible evidence and recommendations and, when contracted, validate the fixes you applied.

Ask on WhatsApp
Is cloud testing the same as traditional infrastructure testing?+

No. Traditional infrastructure focuses on hosts, networks and published services. Cloud testing also assesses identity, permissions between managed services and provider-specific configuration.

Do you test AWS, Azure and GCP?+

Yes, adapting the methodology to the services and permission model of each provider.

Do we need to grant read access to the cloud account?+

Read-only access normally speeds up the review of IAM and configuration, but external-only scenarios can also be arranged depending on the objective.

Does the test respect the shared responsibility model?+

Yes. Recommendations distinguish what is under the customer's control from what belongs to the cloud provider.
