INDUSTRY & SECURITY THREAT LANDSCAPE

Misconfigured cloud virtual machines remain one of the most exploited entry points for attackers targeting

enterprise AWS EC2 and Azure environments.

Industry Landscape
Threat Landscape

Business & Cyber Challenges

Always-on digital banking and transaction platforms
Banks and fintechs now run core services—payments, wallets, lending, trading—on cloud VMs. Any outage or breach can immediately affect millions of users and transactions. Attackers target these workloads for direct financial gain, fraud, and data theft. Regulatory expectations around uptime and integrity make VM compromise especially critical.
High-value target for fraud, account takeover, and data theft
Credential stuffing, phishing, and API abuse often lead to takeover of cloud-hosted channels. Attackers use compromised VMs as pivot points to internal payment systems and customer data stores. Stolen data can be monetized, resold, or used for large-scale fraud. This makes financial cloud infrastructure a persistent target for organized cybercrime.
Complex hybrid architectures and legacy integration
Many institutions mix on-prem core banking systems with cloud-hosted digital layers. This creates complex trust paths between old and new systems. Misconfigured network rules or VM connections can unintentionally expose internal systems. Attackers exploit these gaps to move from a single cloud VM into deeper banking infrastructure.
Strong compliance pressure and audit expectations
Financial institutions face strict expectations around security controls, incident logging, and protection of customer information. A compromised VM with poor logging can trigger major compliance and reporting issues. Auditors also expect clear evidence of regular, professional security testing. Failure to show this can impact licenses, partnerships, and market reputation.

How Codec Networks Cloud VM Pentesting Helps

Identifies exploitable paths into payment and transaction systems
Testing simulates real attacker routes from exposed cloud VMs into payment gateways, APIs, and transaction-processing services. This helps banks understand exactly how financial flows could be disrupted or manipulated. Prioritized fixes then close the highest-risk paths first.
Reduces risk of account takeover and fraud infrastructure abuse
Pentesting reveals where compromised VMs could be used for session hijacking, credential stuffing support infrastructure, or mule account orchestration. By hardening these points, institutions reduce both fraud volume and operational abuse of their platforms. This directly protects revenue and customer trust.
Validates segmentation between digital channels and core banking
The service checks whether an attacker on a cloud VM can reach core banking, card switching, or treasury systems. If segmentation is weak, concrete paths and required controls are documented. This supports safer modernization without exposing crown jewels.
Strengthens evidence for audits and regulatory reviews
Reports provide clear technical and business risk mapping that can be shown to internal and external auditors. Demonstrating regular, structured cloud pentesting improves confidence in the institution’s security governance. It also supports smoother sign-off during compliance reviews.
Improves ransomware and outage resilience for critical services
Simulated destructive scenarios show how quickly systems could be disrupted if attackers hit cloud-hosted banking components. This enables better backup, failover, and isolation strategies. In practice, it reduces the chance of long-running outages that affect customers and markets.

Threat Landscape

Ransomware Attacks on Cloud Workloads

Threats

Ransomware has evolved from endpoint-level malware into large-scale cloud workload shutdown campaigns. Attackers now target publicly exposed virtual machines as their primary entry point. Once inside a single VM, they escalate privileges, disable backups, and encrypt entire application stacks within minutes.

In cloud environments, ransomware impact is amplified due to interconnected storage, automation, and rapid lateral movement. A single compromised VM can cascade into a full application outage, halting digital services, revenue operations, and customer access globally.
