Organizations often struggle with implementing effective cloud security strategies. The complexity of cloud environments involves accounting for identity and access management, virtual network security, data storage security, cloud services configurations, password and access policies, and monitoring controls, to name a few. Development teams often deploy new services and applications to cloud environments without proper security validation and testing. Organizations that misunderstand the shared security model most cloud providers adhere to can lead to severe consequences.

Optiv's Cloud Infrastructure Assessments identify security, performance, and reliability weaknesses of your AWS cloud infrastructure that supports your cloud-based applications. Our experts assess the architecture and security configuration of your AWS environment to identify potential vulnerabilities and weakness that could be exploited by attackers. We leverage commercial and open-source tools to scan your AWS environment. We then manually review the configuration for each cloud component (EC2 instances, S3 buckets, EKS, containers, etc.) and compare it against Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmarks and other best practices to identify weaknesses and areas of improvements. Through deep manual validation of security configurations, we identify potential threats within your AWS cloud infrastructure.
