Cloud Security & Offensive Testing

The Cloud Shift Created New Attack Surfaces And New Opportunities for Attackers

Modern infrastructures are no longer isolated networks, they are cloud-native, API-driven, and globally interconnected. While the cloud accelerates innovation, it also concentrates risk, expands external attack surfaces, and creates complex permission models that attackers know how to exploit.At NotLAN, we approach cloud security offensively:

We simulate how real attackers think, move, and escalate inside your cloud environments.

Our Cloud Security Services

Cloud Penetration Testing

     • External perimeter assessments targeting exposed cloud assets

     • Cloud-based web application and API penetration tests

     • Enumeration of misconfigured services, exposed storage buckets, and        orphaned resources

     • DNS, CDN, WAF, and firewall bypass techniques

Server racks with neon-blue icons representing storage bucket, DNS, API, firewall, and cloud, connected by a beam of light.

Identity & Access Misconfiguration Testing

• Assessment of IAM roles, policies, permissions, and privilege escalation paths

• Abuse of over-permissive roles, service accounts, and cross-account trust relationships

• Token theft, credential abuse, key exposure, and session hijacking scenarios

• Cloud provider-specific privilege escalation pathways (AWS, Azure, GCP)

Cloud Architecture & Configuration Review

• Secure architecture assessments aligned with best practices

• Review of network segmentation, VPC peering, private endpoints, and VPN   configurations

• Serverless, container orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS, AKS, GKE), and workload   isolation evaluations

• Assessment of backup, disaster recovery, and high availability configurations for   security weaknesses

Post-Compromise Simulation

• Lateral movement simulations within cloud control planes

• Exfiltration of data via cloud-native services

• Detection of persistence mechanisms inside cloud workloads

• Simulation of advanced threat actors leveraging compromised cloud credentials

• OWASP Top 10: applicable to cloud web applications and APIs

• CIS Benchmarks for AWS, Azure, and GCP

• PTES methodology extended for cloud infrastructures

• Custom threat modeling based on your cloud stack and risk profile
