The Challenge

The global economy relies on finance and government to maintain resilience to threats. Monetary authorities and regulators are working globally to address this challenge by creating frameworks that address cyberattack resiliency. These include the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) Act in the European Union, Critical National Infrastructure Banking Supervision and Evaluation Testing (CBEST) in the United Kingdom, and Threat Intelligence Based Ethical Red-Teaming (TIBER-EU) in Europe.

Complying with these regulations requires forethought and planning beyond that of a normal red team operation. These requirements and frameworks focus specifically on the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of key systems used to perform essential business operations. They are aligned to regulators’ needs and use custom threat intelligence specific to the client and their profile. The challenge for organizations that must align to these frameworks is how to safely test their environments while effectively simulating advanced attackers and their methodologies.

The Solution

NetSPI’s Threat Intelligence-Led Red Team Operations allows organizations to meet their requirements and formulate appropriately targeted evidence-based scenarios that are most likely to affect their business.

Our team is accredited for those frameworks that require it, such as CBEST, and can provide testing for TIBER-EU and other standards. We work with regulators and threat-led intelligence firms to ensure you meet compliance requirements.

NetSPI uses threat intelligence data from threat actors who have shown interest in similar organizations. This includes validated threat data, evidence of breaches past and present, active vulnerabilities, access brokerage, and numerous other sources. This data is analyzed, and applicable tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) are collated to provide information for an engagement plan. These TTPs and target systems are combined to form scenarios used for the operation with firm guidelines and processes to ensure realistic simulation.

"The financial services sector has suffered more than 20,000 cyberattacks, causing $12 billion in losses, over the past 20 years."
