Cloud Security Assessment (AWS)
I conduct cloud security assessments focused on Amazon Web Services (AWS) environments to identify misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and exposed resources that could lead to data breaches or privilege escalation. My assessments evaluate both technical controls and cloud architecture from an attacker’s perspective.
Testing includes IAM privilege escalation analysis, S3 bucket access reviews, EC2 and network exposure assessment, and validation of logging and monitoring controls. The goal is to identify real-world attack paths and reduce the overall cloud attack surface.
Assessments combine automated tooling with manual review of cloud configurations and architecture to ensure alignment with AWS security best practices.
