At Redbot Security, our Cloud Security Review (CSR) provides a thorough evaluation of your private and public cloud architectures, policies, and permissions across AWS, GCP, and Azure environments. We begin by mapping your cloud-based attack surface from both internal and external perspectives, giving you a clear view of potential vulnerabilities and helping you stay ahead of malicious actors.
By assuming that a threat actor already has some level of access to your cloud environment, we’re able to pinpoint gaps that could lead to high-impact breaches. Our recommendations focus on best-practice security enhancements that reinforce your defenses and reduce the risk of costly attacks.
Although a CSR is not a penetration test, we often receive questions about cloud pentesting, for AWS. You can perform penetration tests within your own AWS account by following AWS’s Penetration Testing guidelines, without needing prior approval. If you plan to run other types of security tests, refer to AWS’s guidelines on simulated events.
Important: Testing AWS infrastructure or services outside your own account is prohibited, and AWS does not allow security assessments of the services themselves.
Redbot Security’s Cloud Security Review (CSR) provides an in-depth analysis of your AWS, GCP, and Azure environments, identifying misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and exploitable weaknesses before attackers do. By simulating real-world attack scenarios, we expose security gaps that could lead to data breaches or unauthorized access. Our expert recommendations focus on strengthening identity management, access controls, and cloud security policies to help you mitigate risks effectively. While CSR is not a penetration test, we offer guidance on AWS-approved cloud pentesting and best practices for securing your cloud infrastructure.
By design, a CSR uses an open-security (whitebox) approach that requires authorized access to the cloud environment—allowing reviewers to inspect the console, run queries, and analyze configurations in detail. Because each system is unique, there’s no one-size-fits-all automation. Contextual understanding of your infrastructure is key to ensuring a thorough and successful security review.

A Cloud Security Review (CSR) begins by mapping your cloud-based attack surface from both internal and external perspectives. This approach assumes a malicious actor already has some access to your environment, allowing us to pinpoint and address critical vulnerabilities. By identifying these risks early, we help you implement best-practice security controls that mitigate potential high-level impact in the event of a breach.
