Adversarial Cloud Penetration Testing

Adversarial Cloud Penetration Testing

Identify the exploitable attack paths that configuration reviews alone cannot reveal.

Cloud environments are now central to business operations, but they also introduce complex, interconnected risks that traditional configuration reviews can’t fully expose.

Kroll’s Adversarial Cloud Penetration Testing service goes beyond compliance-driven assessments to simulate how attackers chain misconfigurations, identities and trust relationships to compromise cloud environments.

Client Outcomes

Cloud breaches are rising sharply, and attackers are increasingly relying on valid accounts, misconfigured identities and overlooked trust paths, rather than malware, to gain access.

Traditional cloud configuration reviews surface isolated issues. Adversarial penetration testing chains findings, uncovers breach impact, provides prioritized actionable and improves cloud breach detection and response readiness.

Client outcomes include:

  • Confirmed exploit chains and breach paths
  • Identification of detection blind spots
  • Prioritized remediation roadmap
  • Improved SOC readiness and cloud incident response playbooks
  • Validation of CSPM and EDR coverage
