For nearly two decades, Nexon has helped Australian organisations stay ahead of cyber threats through penetration testing, red teaming, and threat assessments. As the threat landscape continues to evolve, so do our services. Today, we’re proud to introduce the next step in cyber resilience: Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT).
What makes Threat-Led Penetration Testing different?
Traditional penetration testing checks for weaknesses in your systems. TLPT goes further. It simulates how real-world attackers, those targeting your industry and geography, would approach your organisation. This means you’re not just testing technology, but your team’s ability to detect, respond, and recover from a genuine threat.
TLPT is intelligence-led, using the latest insights into adversary behaviour. It’s designed to give business leaders a clearer picture of how resilient their organisation really is.
Learn more in the blog by Nexon’s Penetration Testing Practice Lead, Dan Weis, and discover how TLPT unlocks deeper threat insights for your organisation.
Why TLPT matters for Australian organisations
Cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated, and boards are under pressure to demonstrate resilience. TLPT helps you:
- Validate your defences: Not just firewalls and software, but your people and processes.
- Prioritise real risk: Focus on what matters most to your business, not a long list of low-priority issues
- Meet regulatory expectations: TLPT aligns with global standards like TIBER-EU and Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), and is increasingly relevant in Australia’s financial, healthcare, and government sectors.
- Build stakeholder confidence: Show regulators, customers, and your board that you’re taking proactive steps to protect your organisation.
What you get with Nexon’s TLPT engagement
When you engage Nexon for a penetration test, you’re not just getting a technical assessment—you’re unlocking a more sophisticated view of your organisation’s threat environment.
Our TLPT methodology includes:
- Briefing: We learn about your business, sector, and risk profile.
- Threat Intelligence: We identify adversaries relevant to your organisation.
- Scenario Design: We build realistic attack simulations.
- Execution: We run controlled attacks to test your defences.
- Analysis & Reporting: We provide clear, actionable insights, and recommendations.
Added Value: Threat Profile Analysis
As part of every Nexon Penetration Testing engagement, you’ll also receive a complimentary Threat Profile Analysis. This report gives you visibility into:
Mentions of your organisation on the dark web
Breached data and credentials
Exposure on ransomware forums and underground marketplaces
References in malware listings and breach disclosures
This added insight helps you act on potential risks before they escalate – at no extra cost.
