# What should I expect during a cloud penetration test?

A cloud penetration test typically focuses on misconfigurations, access control weaknesses, exposed services, and identity risk. Depending on scope, testing may include identity management related tests, storage review, credential attacks, and detection validation. The goal is to identify real weaknesses and provide clear, actionable remediation guidance.
