Bolstering Cyber Resilience with High-Quality Red Teaming

What is TIBER-EU?

• Enhance Protection, Detection, and Response: TIBER-EU tests aim to identify weaknesses in an entity's security posture across people, processes, and technologies, thereby enabling targeted improvements in protection, detection, and response capabilities.
• Strengthen Financial Sector Resilience: By fostering greater cyber maturity within critical financial institutions, TIBER-EU helps to fortify the overall resilience of the European financial system.
• Provide Assurance to Authorities: The consistent and meticulous approach outlined in the TIBER-EU framework provides assurance to regulatory authorities about the cyber resilience capabilities of supervised entities.

How Does TIBER-EU Work?

• The Entity: The entity being tested (e.g., a bank or financial market infrastructure) defines the critical functions and assets to be included in the scope of the test.
• Authorities: Competent authorities (such as central banks or financial supervisors) oversee the TIBER-EU process, ensuring adherence to the framework and facilitating mutual recognition of test results.
• Threat Intelligence Provider (TIP): A specialized organization that analyzes the cyber threat landscape and develops tailored threat intelligence profiles relevant to the entity.
• Red Team Provider (RTP): A cybersecurity firm with expertise in ethical hacking and offensive security techniques selected to carry out the simulated cyberattack.
• White Team: A small group within the entity that holds prior knowledge of the test and manages its logistics in coordination with the authorities.

The Critical Role of Red Teaming Expertise in TIBER-EU

• Emulation of Advanced Threat Actors: Expert red teams possess a deep understanding of real-world adversary TTPs. They can leverage this knowledge to accurately emulate sophisticated attackers, including tactics like zero-day exploits, advanced social engineering, and evasion techniques.
• Tailored Attack Methodology: Seasoned red teams tailor the attack methodology to align precisely with the threat intelligence profile, ensuring the simulation effectively tests the entity's defenses against the most relevant risks.
• Focus on Impact: The best red teams don't merely exploit vulnerabilities; they focus on demonstrating how those vulnerabilities can lead to the compromise of critical functions and business objectives.
• Constructive Collaboration: Effective red teams work collaboratively with the entity's blue team (internal security personnel) to facilitate knowledge sharing, real-time learning, and the development of stronger detection and response capabilities.
• Actionable Reporting: Skilled red teams produce clear, comprehensive, and actionable reports that translate technical findings into business risks and mitigation strategies.
