Overview of this book

With AWS, Azure, and GCP gaining prominence, understanding their unique features, ecosystems, and penetration testing protocols has become an indispensable skill, which is precisely what this pentesting guide for cloud platforms will help you achieve. As you navigate through the chapters, you’ll explore the intricacies of cloud security testing and gain valuable insights into how pentesters evaluate cloud environments effectively. In addition to its coverage of these cloud platforms, the book also guides you through modern methodologies for testing containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes, which are fast becoming staples in the cloud ecosystem. Additionally, it places extended focus on penetration testing AWS, Azure, and GCP through serverless applications and specialized tools. These sections will equip you with the tactics and tools necessary to exploit vulnerabilities specific to serverless architecture, thus providing a more rounded skill set. By the end of this cloud security book, you’ll not only have a comprehensive understanding of the standard approaches to cloud penetration testing but will also be proficient in identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities that are unique to cloud environments.

How Do Enterprises Utilize and Implement Cloud Networks?

Welcome, readers! Whether you’re already an experienced penetration tester or you’re new to cybersecurity, penetration testing cloud networks requires specialized knowledge. One of the key differences between penetration testing cloud networks and penetration testing on-premises networks and computer systems is that the organization you’re working for doesn’t own everything in its computing environment. When you conduct red team engagements in cloud networks, both the organization you work for and its cloud provider (whether that's Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP)) have needs that must be respected. The good news is if you master the skill of pentesting cloud networks, you may have a lucrative career ahead of you. Organizations use the cloud now more than ever, and demand for cloud services continues to grow.
