Enhance Google Cloud Security Through Penetration Testing

Center of Excellence Security - Penetration Testing

Fortify Your Google Cloud

Thoroughly securing your Google Cloud, our GCP Cloud Penetration Testing service identifies vulnerabilities through real-world attack simulations.

GCP Cloud Penetration Testing at COE Security

At COE Security LLC, our GCP Cloud Penetration Testing service provides a comprehensive evaluation of your Google Cloud Platform. We assess IAM configurations for overly permissive roles, analyze Compute Engine for OS and software vulnerabilities, and review Cloud Storage permissions for data exposure and encryption.

We also evaluate VPC setups, including subnets, firewall rules, and routing policies, to detect misconfigurations, while testing security groups for unnecessary traffic permissions. Our team simulates attacks on Cloud Functions and APIs to identify vulnerabilities and ensures Cloud Logging and Monitoring are properly configured. You’ll receive a detailed report with prioritized findings and actionable recommendations to strengthen your GCP security posture.

Key Features of GCP (Cloud) Penetration Testing

Analyze IAM policies for overly permissive roles and enforce least privilege on service accounts.
Examine Compute Engine instances for OS patch levels, vulnerabilities, and SSH access controls.
Review Google Cloud Storage bucket settings for public access, versioning, and encryption.
Assess VPC configurations, including subnets, firewall rules, and routing tables for misconfigurations.
Analyze firewall rules to ensure they are sufficiently restrictive and check for unauthorized access.

Evaluate Cloud Functions and Cloud Run for code vulnerabilities and proper authentication.
Test API security, validating authentication methods and checking for injection vulnerabilities.
Ensure Google Cloud Logging and Monitoring capture relevant events and set up alerts for suspicious activities.
Assess Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies for effectiveness in identifying sensitive data.
Compile a report on vulnerabilities with prioritized remediation recommendations and a strategic plan.

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.

Black Box

At COE Security LLC, our Black Box Penetration Testing service is designed to assess the security of your systems without prior knowledge of their internal workings. This approach simulates the perspective of an external attacker, allowing our experts to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious parties. By focusing on the application and network interfaces, we conduct thorough reconnaissance, vulnerability assessments, and exploitation attempts to uncover potential security weaknesses. The results of our testing provide valuable insights into your security posture, highlighting areas for improvement and offering actionable recommendations to enhance your defenses. This method not only helps protect your assets but also ensures compliance with industry standards and best practices.

AI/LLM PenTest

At COE Security LLC, 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.
