Proactive Security for Nordic Financial Institutions

TIBER

Fraktal offers specialized TIBER (Threat Intelligence-Based Ethical Red Teaming) services for financial institutions in Finland, Denmark, Sweden, and Iceland.

Why Tiber matters?

TIBER was introduced in 2018 by the European Central Bank (ECB) to address the complex cyber threats faced by the financial sector. It provides a standardized and intelligence-led methodology for conducting controlled, realistic cyberattack simulations.

Each participating nation adds its own nuances to TIBER, but the core objective remains consistent everywhere:

Assess and enhance cyber resilience against real-world threats
Align with evolving regulations, including the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA)
Foster continuous improvement through lessons learned in adversary simulations

OUR TIBER PROCESS

Preparation & Scoping

We collaborate with your organization and the relevant Nordic authorities to define the scope, identify critical assets, and outline safeguards. This activity sets the stage for a controlled exercise, ensuring alignment with both national TIBER guidelines as well as organizational priorities.

Unique Purple Teaming Perspective

Our extensive background in purple teaming uniquely positions us to deliver exceptional value within the strict parameters of TIBER engagements. While TIBER is a structured exercise, our deep expertise in collaborative adversary-defense simulations enhances the quality and relevance of every phase of the process.

How Our Purple Teaming Expertise Adds Value to TIBER

DORA Compliance

Starting January 17th, 2025, DORA introduced formal Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) requirements for financial institutions. TIBER is widely viewed as the “how” to meet the “what” of DORA's TLPT.

By conducting TIBER-based engagements now, you:

Prepare for DORA and avoid last-minute compliance rushes
Gain experience with frameworks already recognized by your national competent authority
Establish a robust, repeatable testing program that evolves alongside regulatory changes

Let's Build Your Resilience
