Cloud Migration Security
Moving to AWS or Azure? Don't let cloud misconfigurations become your first major breach. Get your cloud security architecture right from day one.
Cloud breaches aren't inevitable, but they're common
82% of data breaches involve cloud-stored data. Most trace to misconfigurations caught by targeted testing.
Real Cloud Breach Costs
Capital One (AWS)
100M+ customer records stolen via misconfigured WAF, $80M+ settlement
Uber (AWS)
57M records exposed through publicly accessible S3 bucket
Tesla (AWS)
Kubernetes console exposed without authentication, cryptomining
Facebook (AWS)
540M records on unprotected Amazon S3 storage
These weren't sophisticated attacks. They were basic misconfigurations that would have been caught by pre-migration security review or post-migration validation testing.
Platform-specific expertise
Each cloud platform has unique security models, services, and misconfiguration risks.
AWS
Services We Assess
- IAM policies and role escalation
- S3 bucket permissions and encryption
- EC2 security groups and NACLs
- Lambda function security
- RDS and DynamoDB encryption
- CloudTrail and GuardDuty setup
- EKS and ECS container security
- Secrets Manager and KMS
Common Misconfigurations
S3 public exposure, overly permissive IAM, unencrypted EBS volumes
Azure
Services We Assess
- Azure AD and role assignments
- Storage account access policies
- NSG and ASG configuration
- Key Vault security
- Azure SQL encryption
- Security Center configuration
- AKS security
- Managed identities
Common Misconfigurations
Storage account public access, weak NSG rules, missing encryption
What we find in cloud assessments
These are the most common and most dangerous cloud security issues we discover.
Identity & Access
- Service accounts with admin privileges (common in AWS)
- No MFA on privileged accounts
- Hardcoded credentials in code or environment variables
- Overly permissive IAM policies (Principal: *)
- Unused roles with dangerous permissions
- Cross-account access without proper constraints
Data Exposure
- Publicly accessible storage (S3, Blob, GCS)
- Unencrypted databases and storage volumes
- Snapshots and backups without encryption
- Database credentials in plaintext
- Data exfiltration paths via misconfigured egress
- Exposed sensitive data in logs
Network Security
- Security groups allowing 0.0.0.0/0 access
- Management ports (SSH, RDP) exposed to internet
- No network segmentation between environments
- Missing VPC flow logs
- Improper peering or transit gateway configuration
- Exposed Kubernetes API servers
Logging & Monitoring
- CloudTrail/Activity Log/Cloud Audit disabled or misconfigured
- Log retention too short for compliance
- No alerting on privileged actions
- Missing monitoring for security events
- Logs not centralized or protected
- Failed authentication not tracked
Compute Security
- Containers running as root
- Outdated instance images with vulnerabilities
- Serverless functions with excessive permissions
- Instance metadata service (IMDS) not protected
- No instance isolation or segmentation
- SSH keys embedded in images
Application Security
- Insecure CI/CD pipelines deploying to production
- Secrets in container registries or repos
- API gateways without authentication
- Serverless functions vulnerable to injection
- Missing WAF protection for web apps
- Unauthenticated access to admin interfaces
