Obsidio

Obsidio is a Swiss-built platform that provides controlled, realistic Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) simulation testing for organizations seeking to validate the resilience of their infrastructure against real-world attack conditions. The platform operates a network of over 100,000 globally distributed real hardware devices, including smartphones, rather than virtualized instances or datacenter-based load generators. This approach is designed to replicate the decentralized nature of actual DDoS attacks, generating traffic patterns that mirror those produced by genuine botnets, which prevents security tools such as Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) from distinguishing test traffic from real attack traffic. Key capabilities include: - Self-service simulation configuration, allowing WAF, load balancer, and red teams to run on-demand tests without vendor scheduling - Cryptographically attested, tamper-proof reports generated after each simulation - Compliance evidence aligned with regulatory frameworks including, but not limited to, FINMA, DORA, and NIS2 The platform is positioned for organizations in regulated industries, with noted adoption among Swiss financial institutions. Its governance model emphasizes independence, neutrality, and verifiability, principles it associates with Swiss institutional standards. Obsidio's primary use case is resilience testing and compliance validation, enabling security and risk teams to produce audit-ready proof of DDoS resilience for regulators, auditors, and executive stakeholders.
