Your infrastructure is tested every day. Now prove it holds.
Obsidio now brings Swiss-grade DDoS resilience testing to the Middle East and Southeast Asia — giving central banks, financial institutions, and government bodies the independently verified proof their regulators now expect.
The gap between security policy and operational proof is real.
Most institutions can describe their resilience strategy. Far fewer can produce independent evidence that their defences actually hold under realistic conditions.
Centralised testing does not replicate real attacks
Genuine DDoS attacks originate from thousands of geographically distributed devices, not a single datacenter. Load-testing tools cannot reproduce that. Your WAF learns to recognise the test, not the threat, and your results become meaningless.
Regulators now expect evidence, not assurances
Across the GCC and Southeast Asia, operational resilience frameworks have moved from advisory to enforceable. Boards and risk officers are being asked for documented, repeatable proof — not policy documents or attestation letters.
The region's threat environment has materially changed
Financial infrastructure and government systems across the Middle East and Southeast Asia face increasing attention from sophisticated, state-linked threat actors. The assumption that existing defences are adequate is no longer defensible without structured, realistic testing.
The regulatory moment has arrived.
For years, cyber resilience was a best-practice conversation. Across the GCC and Southeast Asia, it is now a compliance requirement.
Regulators expect organisations to demonstrate — with independently verified evidence — that they can withstand and recover from severe cyber events, not simply describe how they would respond.
Regulators across the Gulf Cooperation Council have materially tightened operational resilience requirements. The CBUAE Operational Resilience framework, SAMA Cyber Security Framework, NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls, and Central Bank of Oman IT Risk Management Framework all now set enforceable expectations for documented, repeatable evidence of cyber resilience — not just policy documentation. ADGM and DIFC-licensed institutions face equivalent expectations from their respective regulators.
Bank Negara Malaysia's Risk Management in Technology (RMiT) framework, the Securities Commission's cybersecurity requirements, and Malaysia's Cyber Security Act 2024 — which introduced mandatory incident reporting obligations for critical information infrastructure operators — have collectively raised the bar for what regulated institutions must demonstrate. NACSA's guidelines reinforce the direction: evidence-based resilience validation is increasingly expected, not optional.
Real attacks. Real evidence. Full control.
The Obsidio platform combines distributed real-device traffic with verifiable reporting — giving you proof that withstands both technical and regulatory scrutiny.
100,000+ globally distributed real devices
Not virtualised instances. Not datacenter IPs. Real hardware devices and smartphones generating traffic indistinguishable from an actual botnet — so your defences are tested against something that behaves like a real attack, and your results are meaningful.
Tamper-proof, digitally signed reports
Every simulation produces evidence that is digitally signed and cannot be altered after the fact. Your risk officer can hand it directly to your regulator or external auditor with confidence that the record is complete and unmodified.
Configure. Test. Adapt. Retest.
The Obsidio platform is self-service, designed for security and compliance teams to run simulations on demand. Whether you are running internal red team exercises or validating mitigations after an engagement, you can deploy a configuration change, validate it in minutes, and retest without scheduling a vendor. No black-box results.
Fully authorised and controlled
All simulations run against your own infrastructure under explicit written authorisation. Instant stop controls give your team complete authority at every point, with a full audit trail maintained throughout.
Built for institutions where downtime is not an option.
Obsidio is deployed by organisations whose continued operation is a matter of national, financial, and infrastructural significance.
Central Banks & Financial Regulators
The institutions anchoring national financial stability require the highest standard of resilience evidence. Obsidio delivers simulations and reporting designed for regulatory-grade scrutiny at the level these institutions set for others.
Commercial Banks & Financial Institutions
Licensed banks operating under GCC and Malaysian regulatory frameworks need verifiable proof of operational resilience structured to satisfy compliance requirements at board level — not just IT level.
Government & Sovereign Digital Infrastructure
National digital platforms represent targets of growing strategic interest. Obsidio provides the testing rigour that sovereign infrastructure requires and that national cybersecurity strategies across the region now expect.
Telecom & National Critical Infrastructure
Telecommunications providers and energy operators face resilience expectations converging with those of the financial sector. This is no longer a technology conversation — it is a governance one.
Financial Market Infrastructure
Stock exchanges, clearing houses, and national payment systems are systemically critical. Obsidio delivers simulations mirroring real-world attack dynamics for the institutions that underpin market integrity.
Cloud & Managed Service Providers
Enterprise cloud and SaaS providers serving regulated industries are required to demonstrate their own operational resilience. Obsidio provides the independently verified evidence that procurement and compliance teams now demand.
Why Switzerland matters in cybersecurity.
Obsidio's Swiss origin is structural, not cosmetic — it shapes the platform's neutrality, confidentiality posture, and regulatory standing.
Neutral & Independent
No geopolitical exposure. No conflicts of interest. Swiss governance operating at arm's length from any single regulatory jurisdiction or national interest.
Meets Global Regulatory Standards
The platform was designed from the outset for the evidence and confidentiality standards expected of FINMA-supervised institutions, and maps directly to the operational resilience requirements of regulators across the GCC and Southeast Asia.
Strict Confidentiality
Test parameters and results remain under your infrastructure control. Swiss privacy principles apply across all engagement structures.
Engineering Precision
Swiss-built and operated, with the same rigour applied to the Obsidio platform as to any Swiss-grade technical infrastructure. Reliable, repeatable, exact.
Active across the Middle East & Southeast Asia.
Obsidio MESA covers the GCC financial and government markets alongside Malaysia and the broader Southeast Asian region. Active commercial engagements span central banking, financial services, government digital infrastructure, and critical national systems across both regions. If your organisation operates in a market not listed here, reach out — regional coverage is expanding.
Middle East & GCC
The GCC bloc has reached a level of financial-sector maturity and regulatory convergence that has placed operational resilience at the core of supervisory expectation. Frameworks from CBUAE, SAMA, the Central Bank of Oman, ADGM, and DIFC have aligned in direction: documented, evidence-based proof of cyber resilience is now expected. National digital infrastructure programmes across the region are accelerating in parallel.
Active across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain.
Southeast Asia
Malaysia represents the primary Southeast Asian market. Bank Negara Malaysia's RMiT framework, Malaysia's Cyber Security Act 2024, the Securities Commission's cybersecurity requirements, and the broader regional alignment with international resilience standards have collectively reset the baseline for what regulated institutions must demonstrate.
Primary presence in Malaysia, with regional expansion underway.
