Why GCP Pentesting?
There are a variety of ways in which cloud environments can be compromised and misconfiguration of servers can expose your environment to external attackers. However, external attackers are not the only threat, internal employees can also cause tremendous damage. They should be closely monitored due to several reasons such as potential of their own malicious intent/activity, potential for making mistakes that open a security loophole or by unintended action, or even falling prey to external attackers’ techniques.
GCP pen testing enables your organisation to effectively assess the security posture of your applications and infrastructure that usually would not be directly evaluated during a traditional pen test.
GCP pen testing is an authorised hacking attempt against a system hosted on the platform. The primary goal of this testing is to identify strengths and weaknesses of the system, so that its security posture can be determined.
