Cloud Security Assessment
Most cloud breaches are misconfigurations, not zero-days. We review your AWS, Azure or GCP environment - IAM, network, storage, logging and workload posture - against CIS Benchmarks and well-architected security principles.
Overview
The vast majority of cloud breaches are a result of misconfigurations, overly permissive identity roles, and exposed data buckets, not zero-day exploits. Securing a modern cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP) requires a deep understanding of cloud-native control planes, IAM relationships, and ephemeral workloads.
We perform highly comprehensive cloud security assessments combining automated posture analysis with manual configuration reviews. We audit your identity policies, network security groups, database encryption settings, and Kubernetes clusters against CIS Benchmarks to shut down attack paths before they can be exploited.
