Our Cloud Pentest Process

Modern cyber threats demand more than AI tools. Guided by seasoned experts who deploy AI augmented pentesting only when it improves outcomes, the Raxis Red Team stages lifelike attacks across digital, social, and physical fronts to uncover weaknesses and fortify defenses. Our Cloud Pentest Process is based on the same steps as all of our Penetration Test Services.

We start our Cloud Penetration Test with a collaborative chat to understand your cloud world, outlining key assets like VPCs and networks for a customized test that hits the mark.

Acting as cyber sleuths, we survey your cloud terrain to pinpoint open doors, leveraging AI for quicker, smarter detection of potential pitfalls.

Time to get hands on! Our professional penetration testers simulate real world attacks, probing for misconfigurations, insecure APIs, and internal cloud risks to reveal what could go wrong. We’ll leverage AI tools like PentestAI, Burp AI, and others when it makes sense to do so.

With ethical hacking flair, we safely exploit vulnerabilities to show real impact. Imagine controlled chaos that reveals threats without causing any harm. This step is what sets a Cloud Penetration Test apart, meeting compliance standards and highlighting exactly what many others leave out.

We wrap up with a crystal clear report packed with actionable fixes, prioritized risks, and compliance tips, plus a debrief to ensure you have what you need to remediate.

Why Internal Cloud Penetration Testing?

Internal cloud penetration testing is critical because it simulates what a real attacker—or even a malicious insider—could do after gaining access to your cloud environment. While external tests focus on threats from outside, internal testing reveals the impact of compromised accounts, misconfigured permissions, and insider threats targeting sensitive data and essential workloads within your cloud infrastructure.

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Raxis AWS penetration testing uncovers vulnerabilities in your AWS infrastructure and configuration, ensuring your cloud environment stays secure against real-world attacks.

Microsoft Azure

Our expert-led Azure penetration testing identifies and mitigates risks in your Azure setup, strengthening defenses and maintaining compliance with industry standards.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

With GCP penetration testing, Raxis simulates sophisticated attacks on your GCP systems, exposing weaknesses before hackers can exploit them.

Salesforce Applications

Protect your data with expert Salesforce penetration testing services that identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, ensuring your Salesforce environment is secure and compliant.

Hybrid Cloud Solutions

Enhance agility and security with hybrid cloud solutions that seamlessly integrate public and private cloud environments, enabling flexible scaling, cost efficiency, and robust protection for sensitive data and workloads.

Other Cloud Platforms

Whether your infrastructure runs on DigitalOcean, Linode, IBM Cloud, or other specialized environments, our penetration testing ensures consistent security validation regardless of your platform choice.

The Bank Heist

Raxis Hack Stories

All stories are based on real events encountered by Raxis engineers; however, some details have been altered to protect our customers’ identities.

Imagine this: A bustling bank, its employees confident in their security protocols, unaware of the quiet storm brewing. Enter the Raxis Strike Team, armed with permission and a mission to test the unthinkable. After tailgating into a bank property, internal network penetration testers infiltrated a bank employee’s workstation, skillfully uncovering previously used credentials. With surgical precision, they tested these credentials across systems, eventually gaining access to the domain and cracking user password hashes. The result? A treasure trove of credentials that worked seamlessly across employee workstations and the banking system itself.

But we didn’t stop there. In a controlled proof of concept, our team logged in as a teller to initiate a funds transfer and then switched roles to a manager to approve it—all while the bank’s team watched in awe. This wasn’t just a test; it was a masterclass in uncovering vulnerabilities that others might miss. By demonstrating how real-world attackers could exploit overlooked weaknesses, Raxis showcased why our penetration testing is not just thorough but transformative—empowering organizations to fortify their defenses before threats become reality.

F.A.Q.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Raxis Internal Penetration Testing?

Raxis offers a range of penetration testing services, including internal penetration testing. This specialized assessment simulates attacks from within your network, uncovering vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious insiders or external attackers who have already breached your perimeter defenses.

How does cloud Penetration Testing differ from automated vulnerability scans?

Unlike automated scans, Raxis Strike employs manual cloud penetration testing against your internal or VPC network by expert engineers to uncover crucial security risks that automated tools cannot detect.

Can I include PCI segmentation testing with an Internal Network Penetration Test?

Yes, and that is often the most convenient scoping for our customers. The Raxis pentester can often initiate segmentation testing scans and leave them running while working on a manual internal network penetration test. This combined scope can help Raxis do more in less time, saving your team money and helping you work within your organization’s budget.

How long does a Raxis Strike Internal Penetration Test take?

The duration of a Raxis Strike penetration test can range from 3 days to several weeks, depending on the scope of the assessment.

Do I need an Internal Network Penetration Test if I’ve already done an External Penetration Test?

Raxis strongly recommends doing both. An internal penetration test focuses on what an attacker can access and if they can use that access to jump to other critical systems. Is your phone network segmented from your production network? Are there devices that aren’t secure or outdated systems on your network? Any of these issues could allow an attacker to gain access and then pivot to more critical systems. While an external test can tell you if an attacker can get in, an internal network penetration test reveals what they can do once they get inside.

How does Raxis ensure the safety of my systems during VPC security testing?

Raxis operates within clear contractual boundaries and has strict policies against damaging or destroying customer property. The goal is to expose vulnerabilities without causing harm against your VPC or any systems. While employing advanced hacking tools inherently carries some risk, our extensive experience and rigorous protocols significantly minimize the potential for system instability or data loss during penetration testing.

What kind of report will I receive after a Cloud Penetration Test?

You’ll receive a detailed report that includes an analysis of your environment, a play-by-play storyboard of the test, screenshots of hacker tool outputs, and a clear remediation plan. Our report is compliant with NIST 800-115, the standard for Penetration Testing reporting accepted by all major compliance standards.

Does Raxis include retesting after vulnerabilities are addressed?

Yes, Raxis can include a retest to validate remediation efforts, which is often required for compliance purposes.

How does Raxis handle cloud Penetration Testing?

Raxis Strike is fully capable of working with various cloud providers and content delivery networks, including Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Cloudflare, and Akamai. We also have specialized Salesforce Penetration Testing for applications built on their low-code platform.

How is Raxis different than other penetration testing providers?

Raxis Strike and Raxis Attack leverage our penetration testing team’s collective expertise, fostering collaboration to deliver the most comprehensive and valuable findings for your organization.

How does Raxis Strike collaborate on a penetration test?

For each engagement, a lead engineer oversees the process and conducts the majority of the assessment. When specialized expertise is required for specific targets, our team collaborates to ensure the most thorough and effective penetration test possible.

Does Raxis internal Penetration Testing meet regulatory compliance requirements?

Yes, Raxis Strike and Raxis Attack both meet or exceed requirements for various compliance standards, including NIST 800-171/CMMC, PCI, HIPAA, GLBA, ISO 27001, and SOX.
