Our Approaches To AWS Pentesting
AWS external 
penetration testing

AWS external penetration testing

AWS External Penetration Test helps to find and fix vulnerabilities in public services such as RDS databases, API Gateway endpoints, S3 buckets, protecting your project from external cyberattacks. We use this type of testing to ensure that your organization's perimeter defenses are robust and effective, protecting against data leaks and unauthorized access.

penetration testing

AWS internal penetration testing

By simulating attacks from authenticated users or internal breaches, AWS pentest identifies flaws in internal configurations, authorization settings, and other threat vectors. By remediating vulnerabilities we found, you can prevent insider threats and protect your cloud environments from attacks that exploit existing access levels.

Types Of AWS Pentesting Services We Provide
01
AWS network penetration testing
AWS network penetration testing

Our penetration testing approach for this type of service prioritizes three key areas: evaluating the segmentation of your virtual networks, identifying weaknesses in firewall rules and access control lists, and analyzing the effectiveness of your systems in detecting suspicious network activity. We provide you with the complete report of identified vulnerabilities, prioritize them by severity, and create a remediation strategy.

02
AWS web application penetration testing
AWS web application penetration testing

Penetration testers provide you with a security assessment of web applications hosted on AWS services, verify data security, detect authorization system violations, and prevent intrusions. To maintain your application's security, TechMagic advises running a web application pen test following any major changes to your infrastructure or software.

03
AWS infrastructure security audit
AWS infrastructure security audit

This test helps to identify configuration flaws of AWS infrastructure components like EC2 instances, S3 buckets, IAM, and Lambda. TechMagic's experienced security engineers use proven methodologies to identify misconfigurations, access management problems, and code flaws. We recommend conducting penetration testing at least once a year to protect your cloud infrastructure from any risks.

Benefits Of AWS Penetration Test
Improve your cloud-based defenses
Improve your cloud-based defenses

By identifying vulnerabilities in the cloud environment, an AWS pentest helps to evaluate the effectiveness of your implemented infrastructure security measures and reveal previously unknown security weaknesses, allowing for timely remediation.

Meet compliance standards
Meet compliance standards

Numerous regulations (HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, NIST) and industry standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001) require organizations to regularly perform security assessments. An AWS penetration test can help organizations meet these requirements.

Increase customer trust
Increase customer trust

By proactively identifying and addressing vulnerabilities, organizations show customers their privacy is a top priority, fostering trust and loyalty. Also, by conducting pentesting to avoid costly data breaches and reputational damage, companies can increase the trust of stakeholders who value demonstrating responsible risk management.

Save costs
Save costs

An AWS pentest can be a cost-effective way to identify potential security weaknesses and reduce the risk of a data breach compared to the potential breach cost.

AWS Penetration Testing Process

Step 1

Preparation

We begin by collaborating closely with our clients, meticulously analyzing all the information they provide about their projects. Then we define the scope and objectives of the test with the client. Also at this stage, we obtain all necessary permissions, if required by Amazon Web Services.

Step 2

Penetration test

At this stage, testing begins. We conduct controlled simulations of possible hacker attacks to see the vulnerabilities. We combine automated tools and manual testing to find all possible hidden security gaps. Then we use identified flaws to assess the impact of potential attacks. Exploitation provides concrete evidence of how an attacker could breach the AWS environment and the potential consequences of such breaches. Our comprehensive penetration testing approach aims to uncover all potential vulnerabilities within your AWS environment, allowing us to prioritize and remediate them before attackers can exploit them.

Step 3

Reporting

Following a breach, testers determine the extent of unauthorized access. This phase conducts a critical analysis of penetration testing results to assess the security of the AWS environment. The testing team provides a detailed report on detected vulnerabilities, exploitation techniques, and potential consequences. This report also includes prioritized recommendations for remediation.

Step 4

Results overview

This stage represents the end of the AWS penetration testing process and provides companies with actionable insights. By evaluating both technical details and potential business disruption, our penetration testing provides a comprehensive review of vulnerabilities, empowering you to make risk-based decisions.

FAQs
What is AWS penetration testing?

AWS penetration testing is a method of simulating a hacker attack by a security engineer. It is not only scanning your system for vulnerabilities or potential backdoors for hackers. Tests help you discover how attackers can exploit gaps in your security. A penetration test provides a comprehensive and expert security assessment of potential risks to AWS services, as well as a step-by-step plan for removing them and strengthening your security infrastructure.

Does AWS offer penetration testing services?

Amazon Web Services (AWS) does not provide penetration testing services. However, they follow the shared responsibility model. AWS takes responsibility for the security of the cloud infrastructure. At the same time, you are responsible for the security of sensitive information and configuration settings in your applications. Therefore, you are able to conduct your penetration tests using both Amazon's services and reliable third-party programs.

Which AWS resources do not permit penetration testing? And what is allowed?

They strongly prohibit any action that may have a negative impact on the AWS cloud environment. AWS customers are not permitted to conduct DoS simulation operations or test anything outside of their scope of ownership and competence. You can request penetration testing for any services you or your company has built with AWS. Companies can conduct penetration tests on their AWS services: EC2 instances, S3 buckets, Lambda functions, and more. Also, you can check whether other services, such as email services or cloud storage, are properly connected to your AWS infrastructure. Testers do not have access to evaluate the infrastructure of third-party services, but they are able to check whether such connections compromise your security.

What is the difference between Amazon inspector and penetration testing?

Amazon Inspector is AWS's automatic service that detects potential risks and weaknesses in your resources. A penetration test is a more comprehensive method to safeguard your AWS security. During the test, specialists use a variety of services and manual testing methods. This comprehensive approach allows for a deeper exploration of your existing services, uncovering potential threats and their real-world consequences.
