A cyber security testing, risk management, compliance and incident response service, Nettitude, has achieved CBEST accreditation, with an accredited penetration testing team.
Developed by CREST alongside the Bank of England (BoE), CBEST is an intelligence-led testing framework, that focuses on the more sophisticated and persistent attacks against critical systems for essential services. CBEST tests also include specific cyber threat intelligence, so that the tests replicate as closely as possible the evolving threat landscape and will remain relevant.
CBEST is designed to improve and test resilience to cyber-attacks across financial services. CBEST accredited companies undergo assessments and their staff need to demonstrate technical capability, experience and communication acumen.
Rowland Johnson, CEO of Nettitude, said: “The new intelligence-led framework will ultimately improve the prevention, detection and response of the types of cyber-attack that could harm the UK’s financial services sector, which is something we’re very proud to be supporting.”
