Cloud & Kubernetes Security

Assess and harden your multi-cloud environment before a misconfiguration turns into an incident.

The cloud is now your largest attack surface. We assess configurations, IAM policies, Kubernetes clusters, containers, serverless architectures and deployment pipelines in AWS, Azure and GCP. We align with CIS Benchmarks, AWS Well-Architected and NIST SP 800-204.

Critical areas

CIS Benchmarks + K8s + Supply Chain

We cover the ten critical areas that drive the most cloud and Kubernetes breaches, aligned with each provider's CIS Benchmarks (AWS, Azure, GCP) and the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark.

IAM

Identity & Access Management

IAM policies, roles, excessive permissions, federation, MFA, dormant identity and exposed access key detection.

NET

Network & VPC

Segmentation, security groups, NACLs, peering, private endpoints, unintended public exposure.

DATA

Data Encryption

Encryption at rest and in transit, KMS/Key Vault management, key rotation, exposed snapshots and backups.

LOG

Logging & Monitoring

CloudTrail, Defender for Cloud, Cloud Logging, SIEM integration, tampering detection and visibility gaps.

COMP

Compute Hardening

EC2/VM hardening, golden images, patching, metadata service v2, security agents.

K8S-W

Kubernetes Workloads

Pod security standards, resource limits, securityContext, image provenance, runtime threat detection.

K8S-C

Cluster RBAC & Admission

RBAC, network policies, admission controllers (OPA/Kyverno), service accounts, secrets management.

SECRET

Secret Management

Vault/Secrets Manager, secret detection in IaC and repos, automated rotation, need-to-know principle.

IAC

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform/CloudFormation/Pulumi scanning, drift detection, policy-as-code, preventive validation.

CICD

Pipeline & Supply Chain

Runner security, artifact signing (Sigstore/cosign), SBOM, SLSA framework, supply chain attacks.

What we evaluate

  • AWS, Azure and GCP infrastructure pentesting
  • Kubernetes cluster and service mesh assessment
  • Container security review (image + runtime)
  • Serverless architecture analysis (Lambda, Functions)
  • IAM hardening and excessive-privilege detection
  • Exposed bucket, blob, snapshot and secret detection

Methodology

  1. 1Assessment against each provider's CIS Benchmarks
  2. 2Resource enumeration and permission graph analysis
  3. 3Horizontal and vertical cloud privilege escalation tests
  4. 4Secret scanning in IaC and repositories
  5. 5Logging, monitoring and alerting validation (CloudTrail, Defender)
  6. 6Retesting included at no additional cost

Deliverables

  • Per-account and per-service configuration report
  • Risk map prioritized by blast radius
  • Hardening plan with effort estimation
  • Architecture recommendations (landing zones, guardrails)
  • Knowledge-transfer session with the DevOps/Platform team
