 7 Warning Signs You Need One (Before It’s Too Late) Cloud Security Architecture Assessment is no longer optional — it’s essential. Cloud computing has transformed modern business—driving speed, scalability, and innovation. But with this flexibility comes risk. Without a well-architected security foundation, your cloud infrastructure may be vulnerable to cyberattacks, data loss, and compliance failures. Wondering if your cloud setup is truly secure? Here are 7 warning signs that it’s time for a Cloud Security Architecture Assessment — and how FORTBRIDGE can help you close security gaps before they turn into serious incidents. 1. Frequent Security Misconfigurations Are your teams constantly fixing open S3 buckets or public cloud storage ? Misconfigurations are the #1 cause of cloud breaches. Simple errors—like default credentials or overly permissive access—can expose critical data. If your team spends more time reacting than preventing, it’s time to schedule a Cloud S...

In today’s digital-first world, your business data is your most valuable asset. But if you’re storing it in the cloud, how confident are you that it’s secure? Many businesses mistakenly assume that cloud providers like AWS , Azure , or Google Cloud take care of all security. In reality, under the shared responsibility model , you are responsible for securing your cloud configuration, data, and user access. That’s where a Cloud Security Assessment Review comes in — and it could be the smartest cybersecurity investment you make this year. What Is a Cloud Security Assessment Review? Think of a Cloud Security Assessment Review as a comprehensive health check for your cloud infrastructure. It is a structured process designed to identify: ·       Security misconfigurations ·       Data exposure risks ·       Identity and access management gaps ·       Compliance violation...

Web applications power everything from online shopping to banking and internal business tools. But if your app isn’t secure, it becomes an easy target for attackers. That’s why Web Application penetration testing (pentesting) is essential. At FORTBRIDGE , we’ve worked with companies of all sizes to identify vulnerabilities before real attackers can exploit them. In this guide, we’re sharing 20 practical and beginner-friendly tips to help make your web app pentesting smarter, faster, and more effective. Before You Begin: Set Yourself Up for Success A solid setup avoids false starts, wasted time, and missed vulnerabilities. Before diving in: ·       Define your objective – Are you testing purely for security, or performance as well? ·       Get written permission – Always, even if it’s an internal system. ·       Choose the right tools – Start with Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, and Nmap. 20 Practical W...

Let’s face it—cyber threats are evolving fast. Hackers aren’t just working out of basements anymore. They’re using advanced tooling, automation, and now even artificial intelligence (AI). So the real question is— is your business ready for what’s coming next? At FORTBRIDGE , we believe AI in network penetration testing isn’t just a trend—it’s a necessity. If your business is online (and whose isn’t?), securing your network is more critical than ever. AI is already changing how we test and protect systems—and it’s only getting smarter. What Does AI Have to Do With Pentesting? Let’s break it down: ·       AI (Artificial Intelligence) is technology that learns from patterns and adapts over time. ·       Pentesting (Penetration Testing) is the practice of simulating cyberattacks to identify and fix weaknesses before real attackers exploit them. Now imagine combining the two. AI in Network Pentesting means your infrastructure is ...

Cyber threats are increasing every day, and businesses need robust security to stay protected. That’s where network penetration testing comes in—it helps organizations identify weaknesses before attackers do. But here’s the catch: pentesting also comes with legal risks and ethical challenges. If not conducted properly, it can lead to serious legal consequences. So, how can businesses stay compliant while ensuring their systems are secure? Let’s take a closer look. Understanding the Legal Risks in Network Pentesting Before testing any system, it’s essential to have proper authorization. Without the right approvals, even well-intentioned testing can land you in legal trouble. Key Legal Risks to Be Aware Of: ·       Unauthorized Testing is a Crime – Laws like the UK’s Computer Misuse Act make unauthorized access illegal. ·       GDPR and Data Protection – Handling personal data without proper consent may breach the General Data Protection...
