Azure Penetration Testing is the process of simulating an attack on an Azure-based infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities, risks, and potential security breaches. The goal of this testing is to improve the security posture of the Azure environment by finding and fixing weaknesses in the infrastructure, configuration, and application layers. A professional penetration tester will perform various techniques such as network scanning, application and database testing, and social engineering to assess the security of the environment.
The findings from this testing will then be used to improve security measures and reduce the risk of a real attack. Azure Penetration Testing is a critical component of a comprehensive security program and is recommended to be performed regularly to ensure the security and confidentiality of sensitive data and resources.
