Evolve Security’s Azure penetration testing methodology utilizes best practices and methodology developed through years of testing traditional network infrastructure and modernizes the approach by targeting high-risk assets such as cloud-hosted APIs and applications, cloud databases, and cloud services. Through a combination of Open-Source Intelligence Gathering (OSINT), vulnerability identification, threat-modeling, and exploitation simulation, Evolve Security helps organizations identify risks and gaps in their Azure environment. The actionable insights produced through rigorous testing allows security teams to prioritize remediation activities and align security roadmaps with their greatest business risks. Common and complex findings unique to Azure cloud environments include:
- Permissive Productivity Suite Access and Sharing (Microsoft 365, Sharepoint)
- Weak and Legacy Password Policies (Exchange)
- Misconfigured Conditional Access Policies
- Cleartext Credentials in Configuration Files
- Unpatched, Exploitable Resources
- Privilege Escalation via Metadata Service
- Insecure ADCS Deployment
In collaboration with your team’s key stakeholders, Evolve Security develops realistic attack models and testing scenarios to evaluate your highest priority assets. From unguarded cloud access points to shadow IT to overprivileged accounts, we help dive beyond basic misconfigurations to identify complex attack chains in your Azure environment. Beginning with a baseline evaluation and building into objective-based testing, Evolve Security’s Azure security experts contextualize insecure configurations, vulnerabilities and potential attack paths unique to your cloud environment. At the conclusion of each Azure penetration test Evolve Security produces tailored Executive and Technical reports detailing technical processes, findings, identified risks, and recommended remediations.
