☁️ Think cloud pentesting is just network testing in AWS, Azure, or GCP?

Think again.

Cloud risk often lives in IAM permissions, exposed storage, serverless functions, misconfigurations, and trust relationships—not just firewalls and open ports.

🔍 Our latest guide explains how cloud pentesting works, what providers allow you to test, and where real attack paths can hide.

👉 https://7asecurity.com/blog/2026/08/cloud-pe*******on-testing/

Cloud pe*******on testing looks different from a standard network test. The risk sits in identity and access management, not firewalls. AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud all let you test your resources without asking first. However, you just must stay inside their published rules. Cloud penetra...

🤖 Is your LLM secure—or have you only tested what it says?

LLM pentesting needs to go beyond model output. Prompt injection, data leakage, insecure tool integrations, excessive agency, and agent manipulation can all create real attack paths.

🔍 Our latest checklist covers what teams should scope and test across models, agents, plugins, tools, and data sources.

👉 https://7asecurity.com/blog/2026/08/llm-pentesting-checklist/

LLM pentesting needs to cover more than the model's text output. A proper test scopes the model, its plugins, and its data sources. Then, it works through known risk categories, including prompt injection, data leakage, and tool abuse. Shipping an AI feature moves faster than most security processes...

🔍 What should you expect from a pe*******on test?

A pentest goes beyond testing and a final PDF. From scoping and manual testing to actionable reporting and retesting, every stage matters.

🔐 At 7ASecurity, free fix verification is included.

🔍 What actually happens after you book a pe*******on test?

A good pentest is more than testing followed by a PDF. 🛡️ It starts with clear scoping and access, continues with hands-on testing and actionable findings, and finishes with remediation and verified fixes. ✅

Our latest guide walks through what clients should expect from the full pe*******on testing process—from the first scoping call 📋 to the final retest 🔁.

👉 https://7asecurity.com/blog/2026/08/what-to-expect-from-a-pe*******on-test/

What to Expect From a Pe*******on Test, From Scoping to Retest What to expect from a pe*******on test goes well beyond the final report. At least, that’s how we do it at 7ASecurity. Before testing starts, you'll agree on scope and hand over access. During testing, you're expected to stay reachable...

🛡️ Which pe*******on test does your business actually need?

A web app pentest won't answer the same questions as a cloud audit. AI security testing isn't the same as an internal pentest. Choosing the right assessment starts with understanding your business risk.

📖 Our latest guide explains what each pentest service covers, what it doesn't, and how to match the right test to your environment.

👉 https://7asecurity.com/blog/2026/07/pentest-services-business-risk/

Pentest Services Explained: Matching the Test to Your Situation Pentest services aren't one and all the same. This guide matches your situation, a new web app, a cloud migration, an AI feature, or a suspected internal risk, to the test or combination that fits. Scan the trigger table, read the scope...

📋 Which security compliance standards actually apply to your business?

From ISO 27001 and SOC 2 to GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and NIST CSF, understanding the right framework is essential for reducing risk, winning customer trust, and meeting regulatory requirements.

📖 Our latest guide breaks down 14 of the most important security compliance standards every business owner should understand—and how to determine which ones matter for your organisation.

👉 https://7asecurity.com/blog/2026/07/security-compliance-standards-for-business-owners/

Security compliance standards help businesses protect sensitive data, meet regulatory requirements, and build customer trust. This guide explains 14 essential frameworks, including ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and more. Learn which standards apply to your business, avoid compliance risks,...

📶 Is your organization using WPA3 Personal Transition Mode?

That's not automatically a security issue. Transition Mode exists to support older devices during migration—but if it becomes permanent, it keeps WPA2-era risks alive.

🔍 Our latest guide explains when Transition Mode makes sense, when it doesn't, and what security teams should review—from segmentation and PMF to legacy devices and wireless reachability.

👉 https://7asecurity.com/blog/2026/07/wpa3-transition-security-risk/

WPA3 Personal Transition Mode lets WPA2 and WPA3 devices connect to the same SSID during migration. It solves a real compatibility problem, but it keeps WPA2-era risk in play. Treat it as a time-limited bridge, not the target state. Document why it exists, isolate legacy devices, use strong passphra...

🚨 Does a scanner flagging jQuery 3.5.1 mean your application is vulnerable?

Not necessarily.

Many findings stem from outdated bundled libraries, duplicate versions, or unsafe application code—not jQuery 3.5.1 itself. The key is separating scanner noise from real XSS risk.

📖 Our latest guide explains what to verify, what to fix, and how to focus on evidence instead of assumptions.

👉 https://7asecurity.com/blog/2026/07/jquery-3-5-1-vulnerabilities/

Searches for jQuery 3.5.1 vulnerabilities often mix up older jQuery XSS issues with scanner noise. The major 2020 DOM manipulation flaws, CVE-2020-11022 and CVE-2020-11023, affected versions before 3.5.0. jQuery 3.5.1 followed 3.5.0 and kept those fixes while addressing a regression. Teams should st...
