What is SkySiege's AWS Vulnerability Assessment

What our AWS Vulnerability Assessment does and how it works

What is the SkySiege Cloud Vulnerability Assessment?

SkySiege’ Vulnerability Assessment is a custom-built, automated vulnerability assessment service designed specifically for AWS. It scans your AWS resources and infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities, such as poor configurations, exposed data, or unprotected resources. These vulnerabilities can threaten your business by risking theft, compromise, imitation, or attack on your technology or data.

How does SkySiege do this?

After gaining access to your cloud account, we scan the configuration of your AWS resources. We test the data from scanning for configurations known to introduce vulnerabilities or have a higher risk of hosting vulnerabilities. We then compile the results into a PDF, detailing the vulnerabilities we found, how they put your solution and organisation at risk, suggestions for fixes, and the resources hosting the vulnerabilities.

How does SkySiege’s Vulnerability Assessment differ from traditional Cloud Penetration Testing?

SkySiege has the technology, tools and experience to detect vulnerabilities in the cloud without requiring direct application access. As the cloud provides a number of tools and resources to protect applications, your cloud configuration can be more important to your application’s security than the security of the application itself.

By accessing data through the cloud platform’s API, we bypass the long and potentially disruptive application testing, allowing for a safer, more efficient validation of your cloud platform, with faster, more accurate, and less intrusive results compared to traditional application penetration testing.

Why should I get a SkySiege scan?

Staying secure is crucial for various reasons, including legal compliance, financial stability and business continuity.

Compromised cloud hosted resources and data have caused businesses to cease operations. Cloud vulnerabilities are easy to create and incredibly difficult to recover from.

Why aren’t my resources secure by default?

Cloud resources are complex and need to accommodate the diverse needs of organisations of all sizes. This makes it easy to set up resources that are insecure, either in general or for your specific use case.

Additionally, setting up secure resources is more challenging and requires more effort and knowledge than setting up insecure resources. As a result, many quick and efficient setups often compromise security. The trade off between convenience and security is a common issue within modern technology; for instance, simple, easy-to-remember passwords are much less secure than complicated, difficult-to-remember passwords.

So I should get a scan to identify these vulnerabilities?

Yes.

Our Vulnerability Assessment is designed to provide quick, efficient, and low-impact feedback on vulnerabilities in your cloud. When vulnerabilities are present, time is critical, as every second increases the risk of compromise. SkySiege delivers immediate insights into your cloud’s vulnerabilities, enabling you to make fast and informed decisions without waiting for a full bespoke penetration test. This allows you to fix vulnerabilities and release updates more quickly and securely.

How do you detect and list vulnerabilities?

During our scan, we collect all necessary data from your cloud and transfer it to our secure local systems. We then run our bespoke tests on this data to identify any vulnerabilities in your cloud resources. The results are consolidated into a PDF, which is securely delivered to you. This document lists all identified vulnerabilities, explains why each one is a risk, provides steps to mitigate or eliminate the vulnerabilities, and specifies the relevant resources.

Can you really do this the same day?

Yes. Our scan and report generation is usually done within the hour once we have access.

We need you to provide this access so that we can begin the scan. You can read our documentation on how to do this here.

Can you provide consistent scanning part of a security model or Security Operations Center (SOC)?

Yes. This is part of our enterprise offering, which includes consistent long-term monitoring and data maintenance. Contact our sales team to discuss how we can integrate with your model.

Do you perform traditional penetration testing as well?

Yes, we do. Contact our Sales team to discuss your application’s needs.
