With the rate of cloud adoption accelerating, traditional penetration testing often falls short in addressing the unique challenges that cloud environments present.  Cloud-native architectures, with their dependence on APIs, containerisation, and dynamic scaling, introduce new attack surfaces that require specialised testing approaches.  In this latest webinar from URM, we will examine why conventional methods often fail to uncover cloud-specific vulnerabilities and we will explore essential strategies for cloud penetration testing.  Attendees will gain insights into securing cloud resources, handling shared responsibility models, and aligning security testing with risk management goals.  Join us to learn practical approaches for protecting cloud-based infrastructures and meeting today’s cloud security and compliance demands.

Topics we will address include:

  • What We Mean by ‘Cloud Native’
    • Definition, different service models, security challenges
  • Traditional Penetration Testing - Why Doesn’t This Work?
    • Limitations, differences in attack surfaces and shared responsibilities
  • Thinking About the Purpose of Testing
    • Risk-based approach, continuous monitoring, collaborative
  • Testing the Cloud - What Can We Cover?
    • External infrastructure testing, web application testing, open-source intelligence gathering, cloud review, configuration review.

The webinar will conclude with a Q&A session where you can raise any specific pen testing-related queries with one of URM’s senior security consultants.
