The Azure Cloud Security Pentesting Skills You NEED!

The Azure Cloud Security Pentesting Skills You NEED!

Karl Fosaaen, the author of Penetration Testing "Azure for Ethical Hacker" and the VP of Research at NetSPI, came as a guest to share why the penetration Test of a Web Application hosted on Azure Cloud in 2023 is quite different to just a simple/traditional web app pentesting and the skills you need to pentest Azure environments. Cloud Penetration testing is misunderstood to be just config review in Microsoft Azure Cloud just like in AWS and Google Cloud. In this video, we have Karl Fosaaen was kind enough to answer the following questions and methods.
