Pen testing Azure isn't just about scanning for open ports. It requires a cloud-native mindset. Here are best practices for planning and executing tests effectively.
Key Best Practices:
-
Define a clear scope and get permission from Microsoft
-
Enumerate Azure AD users and roles properly
-
Focus on misconfigured services (e.g., storage blobs, key vaults)
-
Test identity and access controls
-
Simulate lateral movement across subscriptions
-
Document findings and remediation guidance
Wrap-Up: Treat Azure penetration testing as a continuous process—not a one-time event. Combine automated tools with manual testing for the best results.
