Google Cloud Security Pentesting Methodology

Google Cloud Security Pentesting Methodology

Penetration Test of a Web Application hosted on Google Cloud in 2023 is quite different to just a simple/traditional web app pentesting.
Cloud Penetration testing is misunderstood to be just config review in Google Cloud. In this video, we have Kat Traxler who is a cloud security researcher, SANS Course author and has worked in the Google Cloud space to even build open source tools that can be used to perform cloud security testing.
