Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) 

Home Services Attack Simulations Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) 

Have you wondered what a coordinated attack by cybercriminals precisely targeting your company would look like? Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) isn't just another security test - it's a deep and realistic simulation of real threats that could affect your organization. At Elementrica, we use the latest information on tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) used by current adversaries to launch attacks that reflect real-world scenarios. With TLPT, we can uncover non-obvious vulnerabilities that standard tests may miss, giving you unique insights into the real-world resilience of your infrastructure against advanced threats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you want to know about Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) 

What is Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) and how does it differ from traditional penetration testing?

Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) is an advanced form of penetration testing that focuses on simulating actual attacks carried out by cybercriminals. Unlike traditional testing, which often relies on known vulnerabilities and standard methods, TLPT uses up-to-date information on tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) used by advanced adversaries. As a result, TLPT provides a more realistic picture of an organization's security and identifies vulnerabilities that can be exploited in real-world attacks.

How can TLPT help improve our organization's security?

TLPT allows you to assess your organization's resilience to advanced attacks by identifying security vulnerabilities that may not be detected by standard penetration testing. By simulating real-world attack scenarios, TLPT provides valuable information about how systems, processes, and people respond to threats. This makes it possible to implement targeted corrective actions, improve security procedures, and increase employee awareness, all of which lead to a significant strengthening of the organization's overall security posture.

What are the benefits of conducting TLPT compared to standard penetration testing?

Conducting a TLPT provides a more realistic view of threats, focusing on critical assets and potential attack vectors specific to the organization. It helps increase security awareness among employees, meets regulatory requirements, and supports a proactive approach to risk management.

What is the process of conducting TLPT and what are the steps involved?

The TLPT process involves several key stages. First comes planning and preparation, where the goals, scope, and principles of testing are established and the organization's specifics understood. Next, information about the infrastructure, potential attack vectors, and threat modelling are collected. In the attack simulation phase, realistic attacks are implemented according to the established scope, using real adversaries' techniques. Finally, the results are analyzed and reported, along with detected vulnerabilities and recommendations.

What types of attacks are simulated during TLPT?

TLPT simulates various attacks, including attacks on network infrastructure, web and mobile applications, social engineering attacks such as phishing, attacks on endpoint devices, and attempts to bypass authentication and authorization systems. Simulations can also include insider threat scenarios to assess an organization's response to the actions of rogue employees.

Does TLPT take into account the latest techniques and tactics used by advanced cybercriminals?

Yes, TLPT is based on up-to-date information on tactics, techniques and procedures used by advanced adversaries. Our specialists keep abreast of the latest threats and trends in cyber security, which allows us to simulate the most current and realistic attack scenarios.

Will TLPT help us meet regulatory requirements and security standards such as NIS-2 or DORA?

Conducting TLPT can help us meet regulatory requirements and security standards, such as NIS-2, DORA or ISO 27001. Attack simulations provide evidence of a proactive approach to risk management and allow us to identify and eliminate vulnerabilities, which is key to regulatory compliance.

What are the costs associated with conducting a TLPT?

The cost of TLPT depends on a number of factors, such as the scope of the tests, the complexity of the infrastructure, the duration of the project and the specific requirements of the client. After an initial consultation, we prepare a personalized offer tailored to the organization's needs and budget.
