Center of Excellence Security - Azure Cloud Penetration Testing

Strengthen Your Azure Security

Securing your Azure environment with real-world attack simulations and actionable insights.

Azure Cloud Penetration Testing at COE Security

At COE Security, our Azure Cloud Penetration Testing service is designed to evaluate the security of your Microsoft Azure environment. Azure provides a comprehensive suite of cloud services and features that enable businesses to scale and innovate, but without proper security controls, these environments can be vulnerable to various attack vectors. Misconfigurations, improper access controls, and unmonitored services can expose your organization to significant risk.

Our Azure penetration testing service simulates real-world attack scenarios, targeting key services such as Azure Virtual Machines, Azure Storage, Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), and more. By identifying and addressing security weaknesses before they are exploited, we help ensure the integrity and confidentiality of your cloud infrastructure.

With COE Security’s Azure Cloud Penetration Testing, you will gain an in-depth understanding of the security posture of your Azure environment and be better prepared to protect your critical assets from cyber threats.

Our Approach

Define testing scope, assets, and access: Identify subscriptions, tenants, services, and permission levels for review.
Discover active resources and services used: Enumerate VMs, Storage, AD, Functions, and App Services in the tenant.
Analyze Azure Active Directory setup: Review users, groups, roles, conditional access, and privilege misuse risks.
Check storage accounts and data exposure: Assess public blobs, container access, shared keys, and CORS settings.
Inspect VM instances and NSG rules applied: Examine network ports, RDP/SSH access, extensions, and weak defaults.

- Evaluate identity and role-based access control: Detect overly broad roles, privilege paths, and unused permissions.
- Test App Services, APIs, and Logic Apps: Identify injection flaws, broken auth, and excessive function privileges.
- Review logging, diagnostics, and alerts setup: Verify Log Analytics, Defender for Cloud, and activity audit trails.
- Perform exploit simulation and post-exploit tests: Emulate lateral movement, token misuse, and resource abuse.
- Deliver final report and Azure remediation plan: Provide fixes aligned with CLI, portal, and IaC recommendations.

Five areas of Infrastructure Security

Hardware Pentest

Hardware penetration testing is a critical assessment process aimed at identifying vulnerabilities in physical devices and their associated systems. This testing involves a comprehensive evaluation of hardware components, firmware, and communication interfaces to uncover potential security weaknesses that could be exploited by malicious actors. By simulating real-world attack scenarios, security professionals assess the effectiveness of physical security measures, analyze firmware for flaws, and evaluate the robustness of communication protocols. The ultimate goal is to provide organizations with actionable insights and recommendations to strengthen their hardware security posture, ensuring that devices are resilient against emerging threats and safeguarding sensitive data from unauthorized access.

Web Application Penetration Testing

COE Security’s web application penetration testing focuses on identifying vulnerabilities in web applications that could lead to unauthorized access, data theft, or system compromise. Our skilled penetration testers use advanced tools and techniques to simulate cyberattacks, testing for common issues like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and authentication bypass. For organizations with cloud-based applications hosted on Azure, we provide tailored assessments to ensure your web services are secure against evolving threats. We deliver clear reports and remediation recommendations, helping secure your applications and reduce exposure to cyberattacks.

AI/LLM PenTest

At COE Security, our AI and Large Language Model (LLM) Penetration Testing service is tailored to evaluate the security of AI-driven applications and systems. As organizations increasingly leverage AI and LLMs for various functions, understanding their vulnerabilities is crucial. Our team conducts comprehensive assessments that focus on potential risks associated with model training data, API endpoints, and user interactions. By simulating real-world attack scenarios, we identify weaknesses such as data poisoning, model inversion, and adversarial attacks. The insights gained from our testing help organizations enhance their AI security measures, ensuring robust protection against emerging threats while maintaining compliance with relevant standards. Our goal is to empower you to harness the full potential of AI technologies while safeguarding your systems and data.

DevOps Security Testing

At COE Security LLC, our DevOps Security Testing service integrates security practices into the DevOps pipeline, ensuring that security is a fundamental component throughout the software development lifecycle. We emphasize the importance of proactive security measures, conducting assessments at various stages, from code development to deployment. Our approach includes automated scanning for vulnerabilities, manual code reviews, and configuration assessments to identify potential security risks early in the process. By collaborating closely with development and operations teams, we help foster a culture of security awareness and compliance. The insights gained from our testing enable organizations to address vulnerabilities swiftly and effectively, ultimately enhancing the security of applications and infrastructure while maintaining the agility and efficiency that DevOps offers.

Firmware Security

Firmware forms the foundation of hardware functionality and is increasingly targeted by attackers. Our Firmware Security Testing service focuses on identifying vulnerabilities such as insecure boot processes, hardcoded credentials, and unprotected firmware updates. We analyze firmware binaries, configuration files, and underlying code to detect and address risks. To support your engineering team, we provide actionable remediation insights and secure coding recommendations, ensuring your firmware is resilient against both known and emerging threats. With our assistance, you can safeguard your devices and maintain trust in your hardware solutions.
