Azure Penetration Testing for Applications
Microsoft Azure is a comprehensive cloud platform that provides organisations with a range of scalable tools and services.
As with any cloud computing platform, the overall security of the apps you host and develop in Microsoft Azure will depend on how it is used and managed.
Mismanagement or lack of security best practice can allow security vulnerabilities and risks to develop.
What is Azure Pen Testing for applications?
Azure Penetration Testing is a penetration testing method that is designed to assess the security of applications developed or hosted in Microsoft Azure. Microsoft Azure Penetration Testing conducts controlled attacks on Azure application resources. These are designed to identify any potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the security infrastructure.
- Azure cloud application pen testing can identify vulnerabilities before criminals get a chance to exploit them.
- This testing method uses Azure pen testing tools to simulate real-world attack scenarios. Pen testers attempting to exploit any vulnerabilities to assess how resilient your app configuration and API's is against controlled attacks.
- If your organisation relies on Azure applications, we strongly recommend that Azure Pen Testing is conducted to ensure that data and applications, have sufficient protection from potential threats.
Certified by CREST and Offensive Security, our qualified testers employ real-world hacking techniques to uncover profound insights.

How does Pen Testing Work for Azure applications?
- Manual and automated techniques: Azure Pen Testing fully tests the security posture of your Azure application resources.
- OWASP Top 10: Performing comprehensive tests on your application endpoints to pinpoint potential vulnerabilities, we prioritise identifying risks highlighted in the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) top 10 list, which details the most critical web application security risks.
- Configuration review: We review and monitor your application configurations. Ensuring your configurations align with Microsoft’s cloud security benchmark to guarantee you’re following best practices
- Perform Fuzz Testing and Port Scanning: Fuzz testing involves a variety of unexpected inputs in your software, detecting possible overlooked problems in the development stage. Port scanning on your endpoints helps discover any exposed or potentially at-risk ports that might serve as entry points for security breaches.
- Vulnerability scanning is conducted in an attempt to discover any weaknesses and security flaws with the Azure environment. Automated tools will scan the resources, looking for indicators such as misconfigurations and outdated software versions. The findings will then be analysed to determine the likelihood of them being exploited and their potential impact.
- Exploitation of vulnerabilities: Attempts will be made to exploit these vulnerabilities, providing insights into the effectiveness of security controls. A Microsoft Azure penetration testing report will then be drawn up based on this testing process with recommendations as to how security measures can be improved in your Azure hosted applications.
