Cloud service providers (CSPs), such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, offer automated services that allow customers to provision new systems and applications quickly and efficiently and scale their environments on demand.

Pen tests aim to identify as many potential security threats and vulnerabilities as possible in an environment. When conducted effectively and regularly, pen tests can help businesses identify and fix security weaknesses before cybercriminals find and exploit them. By conducting regular pen tests, organizations can get feedback on the effectiveness of their security processes and improve their overall security posture.
