Break it first · Cloud Security & Pentesting
Close the cloud attack paths that matter
Most cloud breaches come from misconfiguration and over-privileged identities, not zero-days. We review your AWS, Azure or GCP setup, then think like an attacker to find the paths from an exposed asset to your crown jewels.
Outcomes
What you walk away with
IAM privilege-escalation paths found and closed
Public exposure of storage, services and secrets eliminated
Kubernetes and container hardening gaps identified
Prioritised fixes, often as infrastructure-as-code changes

FAQ
Cloud Security & Pentesting questions
Do we need to notify our cloud provider?
