Cloud Infrastructure & Security Audits
Your cloud environment is only as secure as its configuration. We identify the hidden privilege escalation paths, lateral movement vectors, and data exposure risks that automated CSPM tools miss.

Why Cloud Security Matters
Why Cloud Infrastructure Security Fails
Cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP secure the platform. You are responsible for securing the configuration. Without structured offensive testing, minor oversights become critical breach paths.
Cloud Infrastructure Evolves Rapidly
Security validation must keep pace
Misconfigured IAM Policies: Over-privileged Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles are the #1 cause of cloud breaches, allowing attackers to escalate from a single user to a full administrative takeover.
Excessive Service Trust: Weak "AssumeRole" configurations and implicit trust between microservices create invisible paths for lateral movement across your environment.
Publicly Exposed Storage: Misconfigured S3 buckets, Azure Blobs, or GCP buckets that inadvertently leak PII, source code, or internal database snapshots.
Weak Network Segmentation: Flat VPC architectures that allow a breach in a development environment to pivot directly into high-stakes production data.
Insecure Container & K8s Deployments: Over-privileged containers and poorly configured Kubernetes orchestrations that allow for host-level breakouts and cluster-wide compromise.
Over-permissioned CI/CD Pipelines: Insecure "DevSecOps" workflows where leaked build-server secrets allow attackers to inject malicious code directly into your production fleet.
What We Test in Cloud Environments
External exposure and internal compromise simulation
The Pair Hacking Advantage: Intelligence-Led Cloud Security
Cloud breaches rarely depend on a single misconfiguration; they rely on complex exploit chains. All Cyrex cloud engagements utilize Pair Hacking - the synergy of our elite offensive engineers and proprietary AI-driven reconnaissance.
We don't just "scan" for issues; we simulate the coordinated, multi-vector behavior of a live threat actor.
Intelligent Chained Identity Escalation
Our engineers direct AI agents to map thousands of IAM permutations, identifying the "hidden" chains that lead to administrative takeover—paths that automated scanners cannot predict.
Automated Boundary Mapping
We use AI-augmented reconnaissance to rapidly simulate movement between disparate cloud accounts and subscriptions, validating your "blast radius" controls.
Context-Aware Lateral Movement
Our team simulates how threat actors move across VPCs and serverless clusters, utilizing AI to identify service-to-service authentication weaknesses.
Multi-Layer Logic Validation
We don't just look for "open" ports. We validate the interaction between identity, network, and orchestration layers to expose the "logic gaps" that occur when complex cloud services interact.
Specialized Expertise Across the Cloud Ecosystem
Our offensive approach adapts to the unique permission models, API structures, and infrastructure patterns of every major provider.
AWS (Amazon Web Services)
Deep-tier audits of IAM, S3, EC2, Lambda, and EKS. We focus on the "shared responsibility" nuances of the world’s most widely used cloud.
Microsoft Azure
Hardening Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), Blob Storage, and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) against lateral movement and privilege escalation.
GCP (Google Cloud Platform)
Auditing IAM hierarchies, BigQuery permissions, and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) for high-scale, data-intensive environments.
Hybrid & Multi-Cloud
Securing the "connective tissue" between on-premise data centers and disparate cloud accounts, ensuring consistent security across your entire estate.
Tailored Cloud Engagement Models
When to Schedule Cloud Security Testing
Cloud infrastructure is dynamic. Your security validation must keep pace with rapid deployment cycles and architectural shifts.
