Azure
Our Azure Security services help you proactively identify and remediate vulnerabilities in your Microsoft Azure environment, ensuring robust protection against cyber threats and compliance with industry standards.
The Importance of Azure Security
Microsoft Azure is a comprehensive cloud computing platform offering a range of services to support various business operations. However, the complexity and scalability of Azure environments introduce unique security challenges. Ensuring the security of your Azure infrastructure is essential to protect sensitive data, maintain business continuity, and meet regulatory requirements.
Our Approach
At Pretera, we systematically identify vulnerabilities within Azure environments through a comprehensive approach. We begin by assessing the Azure architecture and understanding the various services and configurations in use, tailoring our testing methodology to the specific features of Microsoft Azure.
Our process includes evaluating Identity and Access Management (IAM) configurations, network security groups, and resource settings to identify potential weaknesses. Next, we conduct reconnaissance to gather information about the Azure infrastructure, pinpointing exposed services and potential attack vectors.
We then perform targeted penetration testing to simulate real-world attacks specific to Azure, assessing the effectiveness of security measures and uncovering vulnerabilities in data protection, application security, and access controls. Finally, we provide detailed analysis and actionable recommendations for remediation, ensuring clients understand the findings and can enhance their security posture effectively within their Azure environment. Our approach empowers organizations to leverage the cloud securely while maintaining compliance and resilience against evolving threats.
