Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT)

An intelligence-driven red team test that emulates the tactics of real threat actors relevant to an organization against live production systems.

Definition

TLPT uses tailored threat intelligence to design scenarios and covers critical functions. The EU's DORA requires TLPT at least every three years for designated financial entities, aligned with the TIBER-EU framework.

Example

A bank's TLPT emulates a ransomware group known to target European payment providers.

Exam tip

Associate TLPT with DORA and TIBER-EU in the financial sector.
