HackerOne's Cloud Security Capabilities for AWS Customers
As rapid digital transformation drives organizations towards AWS cloud solutions, attack surfaces expand, and cybercriminals find new opportunities to exploit cloud application vulnerabilities. Digital-native organizations and those migrating their applications to cloud must incorporate new approaches to their cloud security strategies.
HackerOne provides security capabilities for AWS customers looking to improve security in their cloud applications. These include vulnerability pentests specific to AWS environments, an AWS Security Hub integration for fast, effective security actions, and highly skilled, ethical hackers with AWS Security Specialty certified training. AWS customers can now identify and fix vulnerabilities quickly, develop a better understanding of their cloud application security profile, and access the expertise of AWS Certified hackers.
Improved Cloud Application Security for Your Organization
Protect Your AWS Environment with Targeted Pentesting
As part of the HackerOne Assessment offering, the new HackerOne Assessments: Application Pentest for AWS explicitly tailored for AWS-deployed applications. The pentest discovers risks specific to an organization’s AWS environment following a methodology using top HackerOne platform cloud vulnerabilities. This helps AWS customers prevent data leaks, subdomain takeovers, unauthorized access to applications, and more. Figure 1 below shows the checklist in HackerOne that specifies AWS-specific methodology parameters.
By combining a SaaS platform with a community of skilled, background-verified testers, teams can quickly start their pentests, gain insights to remediate risk faster, and mature their security programs.
HackerOne Integrated With AWS Security Hub
The new AWS Security Hub integration exchanges vulnerability findings between HackerOne and Security Hub, streamlining workflows to accelerate security actions. By consolidating and routing vulnerability intelligence from HackerOne to AWS Security Hub, the integration delivers greater visibility into crucial gaps that could lead to a cyberattack.
AWS customers can sync all HackerOne vulnerability findings and use AWS Security Hub as the single console for management and prioritization. They can also compare AWS Security Hub findings with those found by the HackerOne community to see duplicates, understand status, and plan remediation, as shown in Figure 2 below.
With consolidated vulnerability reports, unified findings for more informed responses, and faster time to remediation, AWS customers can improve application security. HackerOne’s AWS Security Hub integration means severe vulnerabilities are routed to the right people at the right time to increase security team efficiencies, improve reporting, and reduce application exploitation.
A HackerOne Community of AWS-Certified Security Specialty Hackers
Your organization can work with highly skilled certified experts with specialized, proven expertise in vulnerabilities specific to your AWS cloud environment. You will extend your attack surface coverage and be able to address vulnerabilities from multiple threat angles, including cloud misconfigurations, unauthorized access, and data exposure. Instead of switching pentest vendors to find diverse testing expertise, you find it all in this talented community of certified hackers. Figure 3 below shows the official certification seal of a HackerOne AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner.
Organizations using AWS can now better protect their AWS environments against risk and attacks with highly skilled and certified hacker-powered security, more streamlined team workflows, and comprehensive and rapid vulnerability discovery and reporting.
