Cloud & Container Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing
Using CIS Benchmarks and industry best practices, we identify and assess Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities including RBAC misconfigurations, secrets exposure, network policy issues, and container vulnerabilities.

Why Cloud Security Matters?
Cloud misconfigurations are the leading cause of security breaches
Cloud providers secure the infrastructure, but you're responsible for securing your configurations, data, and applications. Misconfigurations are the #1 cause of cloud breaches.
Misconfigured containers can allow attackers to escape to the host system, access other containers, or compromise the entire Kubernetes cluster.
Cloud environments often contain sensitive credentials, API keys, and certificates. Poor secrets management can lead to unauthorized access and data breaches.
Regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS have specific requirements for cloud security. Regular assessments help maintain compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
We assess all major cloud platforms including AWS (Amazon Web Services), Azure (Microsoft Azure), GCP (Google Cloud Platform), as well as private clouds and hybrid environments. We also assess managed Kubernetes services like EKS, AKS, and GKE, and container platforms like Docker, Podman, and containerd.
CIS Benchmark scanning checks your configuration against industry-standard security baselines - it's like a compliance checklist. Penetration testing goes further by actively attempting to exploit misconfigurations and vulnerabilities to prove real-world impact. We combine both approaches for comprehensive assessment.
We test for: RBAC misconfigurations and privilege escalation, network policy gaps allowing pod-to-pod attacks, secrets exposed in environment variables or volumes, privileged containers and host path mounts, vulnerable container images, insecure API server configuration, etcd exposure, and Pod Security Standards violations.
Yes, we can assess both cloud-managed Kubernetes (EKS, AKS, GKE) and self-managed/on-premise clusters. For on-premise assessments, we can work with VPN access, jump hosts, or perform on-site testing. We've tested clusters running on bare metal, VMware, OpenStack, and various other platforms.
Timeline depends on scope and complexity. A single Kubernetes cluster assessment takes 1-2 weeks. Multi-cluster or multi-cloud assessments take 2-4 weeks. Enterprise environments with dozens of accounts/clusters may take 4-6 weeks. We provide detailed scoping during initial consultation.
We use industry-leading tools including: kube-bench for CIS Kubernetes benchmarks, Trivy/Grype for image vulnerability scanning, kube-hunter for Kubernetes penetration testing, ScoutSuite/Prowler for cloud configuration review, Falco for runtime security, and custom scripts for advanced scenarios.
Yes, our report includes detailed remediation guidance with specific Kubernetes manifests, Terraform/CloudFormation templates, and Helm values for fixing issues. We also provide free retesting after you've applied fixes, and can offer hands-on remediation support as an additional service.
We test for: vulnerable base images with known CVEs, misconfigured Dockerfiles (running as root, exposed secrets), privileged containers and capabilities, missing resource limits allowing DoS, insecure registry configurations, container escape vulnerabilities, and runtime security issues like missing seccomp/AppArmor profiles.
Yes, we assess the entire DevSecOps pipeline including: image build security, container registry security, secrets in CI/CD variables, deployment pipeline permissions, GitOps configurations, and supply chain security. This ensures security is built-in from development to production.
Cost depends on: number of clusters/accounts, cloud providers involved, scope (Kubernetes, containers, IaaS), compliance requirements, and assessment depth. A single Kubernetes cluster assessment starts at one price point, while enterprise multi-cloud assessments cost more. Contact us for a free consultation and accurate quote.
