On 2 May, the European Central Bank has published the Threat Intelligence-based Ethical Red Teaming (TIBER-EU) Framework. It aims at providing a view on how to ensure controlled  tests against cyber-attacks for financial institutions of all sorts.

The ECB says with regard to TIBER-EU that:

• it “is the first European framework for controlled cyber hacking to test resilience of financial market entities
• Framework facilitates testing for cross-border entities under oversight of several authorities
• Goals are to help entities gain insight about their protection, detection and response capabilities and to help them fighting cyber attacks”
