Cloud Auditing & Hardening

Securing and accelerating the protection of the cloud services

Cloud security is a collection of procedures and technology designed to address external and internal threats to business security.In modern-day enterprises, there has been a growing transition to cloud-based environments and IaaS, Paas, or SaaS computing models.

The dynamic nature of infrastructure management, especially in scaling applications and services, brings a number of challenges to enterprises. These as-a-service models give organizations the ability to offload many of the time-consuming, IT-related tasks. Without taking active steps to improve their cloud security, organizations can face significant governance and compliance risks when managing client information, regardless of where it is stored.

Accusaga successfully adopts Cloud services and places adequate countermeasures to defend against modern-day cyberattacks. Regardless of whether your organization operates in a public, private, or hybrid cloud environment, cloud security solutions, we provide best practices that are a necessity when ensuring business continuity.

Challenges

With the emergent cloud technology services we face many technological challenges in different aspects of data, information handling and storage.

Unknown assets in the environment and ownership are typically missing from the inventory which leads to cloud governance and associated cyber risks such as data breaches.

Enabling business innovation by protecting critical assets against known and emerging threats across the entire cloud environment is crucial.

Gaining detective visibility and preemptive threat insight to detect both known and unknown adversarial activity is crucial for cloud services, and lack of secure cloud strategy and architecture limits this capability.

Cross-functional coordination and management to address security program requirements of the cloud is crucial and challenging.

The common vulnerabilities we tackled in the past

With over 400 cloud security engagements, our team have identified design, configuration, and implementation based flaws, including but not restricted to:

Supported Cloud Providers

Amazon Web Services

Microsoft Azure

Google Cloud Providers

What do you get?

On-demand Cloud Security Assessment

We provide cloud security assessment and evaluation by testing and analyzing the client's organization cloud infrastructure to ensure the organization is protected from a variety of security risks and threats. Our Cloud Security Assessment runs continuous security checks on your cloud assets and resources and give you a practical, proven, and reliable way to measure your cloud risk against leading security industry standards.

Cloud Continuous Auditing

Periodic audits no longer meet the challenges of managing multi-cloud risk and thus, Accusaga focuses on collecting frequent audit evidences to analyze and provide risk data. The goal of such an audit is to establish a set of controls and best practices against threats.

Cloud Periodic Security Monitoring

Accusaga's Cloud monitoring includes both automated as well as manual assessment, which involves monitoring websites, servers, software and provids Periodic security assessment and regularly examines your IT posture to identify vulnerabilities and gaps in it.

WSA Cloud Audit Security Services

We provide more than just a centralized repository of the cloud audit findings. It’s all the capabilities required for cloud security management of services using Strobes.

Deliverables

Technical Report

    Accusaga provides a technical report consisting of:

  • Proofs and findings of the cloud sevices for exploitations

  • Analysis, Reviewing of assessed cloud services and configurations.

  • Details regarding the exploitation of an inherent weakness in the design and implementation of cloud security controls.

  • Risks and the improvements identified.

  • Impact on the business

  • Controls to level down the threats.

  • Automated as well as manual assessment of cloud reports.

Executive Management Report

    This report consists of :

  • Risks and impact of findings along with their respective evidences.

  • Cloud security management and controls.

Compliance Report

Follow reporting standards as per the compliance standards

  • Mapping of the identified findings to the compliance controls

  • Comparison of findings with previous activities or as per the internal audit findings

Our Assessment Methdology

A holistic approach to perform penetration test that not only discovers security vulnerabilities, but also finding business logic vulnerabilities along with security checklists based on industry standards, including OWASP Top Ten, PCI Compliance while measuring and analyzing a performance to provide quality, timely feedback for improvement.

1. Define Scope

Accusaga defines a clear scope for the client that includes setting of boundaries on the project and define exact goals, deadlines, and project deliverables before an application assessment can take place. This open communication between Accusaga and the client organization is encouraged at intitial stage to establish a comfortable and trust worthy foundation.

2. Information Gathering

Accusaga team gathers and distributes necessary information and assimilates them on the project management activities and collects as much information as they can on the target, employing a myriad of OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) tools and techniques. The assembled information will assist us with understanding the working states of the association that permits us to evaluate the risk precisely as the engagement progresses.

3. Enumeration

We consolidate computerized contents and instruments, among different strategies in further developed data gathering and establish an active connection to the target hosts to discover potential attack vectors in the system. The accumulated data from this stage will be used for further exploitation of the system.

4. Attack and Penetration

We secure the organization’s servers, web applications, and networks using Penetration. This pen test checks the IT infrastructure and exposes all the loopholes present in the security and then attempts to exploit these flaws by simulating cyber attacks on the infrastructure. We use different methods and open-source scripts and in-house tools to gain a high degree of penetration. All these are done cautiously to secure your application and its information.

5. Reporting

This is the final stage of the whole assessment process. In this stage, the Accusaga analysts aggregate all obtained information and provide the client with a thorough, comprehensive detailing of our findings. The entire report will contain a high-level analysis of all the risks along with the final report that highlights all the weaknesses and strengths present in the application.

6. Discussion & Remediation

Once the Assessment Methodology is done, our team will discuss the report and find the appropriate solutions for the bugs located. A comprehensive discussion will be carried out to fix these vulnerabilities and We ensure that the changes were implemented properly and all the vulnerabilities have been fixed. The team will finally provide detailed closure or remediation report which reflects more secure state of the application.

Detect & prevent attacks, before they succeed.

Stay ahead of the rapidly evolving threat landscape and keep your data protected without having to spend a fortune.
