TIBER-EU is the European framework for threat intelligence-based ethical red-teaming and the first EU-wide guide on how authorities, threat intelligence and red-team providers should collaborate with different organizations to help improve their cyber resilience. Thanks to its threat intelligence offering, Outpost24 is well-positioned to create attack scenarios in line with the TIBER-EU framework.
