No: 562240000067 Date(g): 13/5/2019 | Date(h): 9/9/1440 Status: In-Force

The principal objective of the framework is to provide guidance on how to conduct the red teaming activities and how to test the detection and response capabilities of the Member Organization against real sophisticated and advanced attacks and enhance the knowledge of the involved stakeholders. Likewise, the Framework aims to support the sharing of threat intelligence and lessons learned with the Member Organizations that will contribute to the cyber resilience of the Saudi Arabian Financial Sector.

The Framework will ensure that the red teaming exercise is executed in a controlled manner. This is important given the nature of the targets during the testing, namely business critical and (live) production systems (i.e. critical information assets).
