Overview

A leading Malaysian cybersecurity consulting firm, Techlab Security, has transformed the regional cyberdrill landscape by leveraging Nemesis Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) to deliver continuous, automated security validation services across South-East Asia.

Operating in Malaysia's rapidly evolving digital economy, where cybersecurity regulations are becoming increasingly stringent, Techlab needed a solution that could scale cyberdrill services while maintaining the highest standards of security testing.

The Challenge: Scaling Traditional Cyberdrill Services

  • High Operational Costs: Each manual drill required extensive planning and specialized staff deployment. Both time- and budget consuming.

  • Scalability Constraints: Unable to serve growing demand from financial institutions, government agencies, and critical infrastructure operators

  • Inconsistent Quality: Human-dependent execution led to variable testing standards across different client engagements

  • Regulatory Pressure: Malaysian organizations increasingly required continuous security validation under national cybersecurity frameworks

The Solution: Automated Cyberdrill-as-a-Service

To address these challenges, Techlab integrated Nemesis' comprehensive BAS capabilities into their service portfolio.

Scope of Work

  • Service Model: Continuous automated cyberdrill programs replacing infrequent manual assessments

  • Testing Methodology: MITRE ATT&CK-aligned scenarios customized for Southeast Asian threat landscape, focus on validating security controls

  • Regional Coverage: Services extended across Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia

Objectives

  • Continuous Security Validation: Automated execution of realistic attack scenarios providing continuous security posture monitoring

  • Industry-Specific Testing: Tailored cyberdrill scenarios addressing sector-specific threats including banking trojans, ransomware, and APT campaigns

  • Scalable Service Delivery: Simultaneous testing across multiple client environments without proportional resource increases

  • Regulatory Compliance Support: Automated documentation and reporting to meet Malaysian and regional cybersecurity requirements

Client Outcomes

  1. Enhanced Security Posture: Average 60% improvement in mean time to detection across client base

  2. Cost Optimization: 70% reduction in traditional testing expenses while achieving actionable and continuous results

  3. Operational Efficiency: Reduced security team workload through automated testing and validation.

Client Success Stories

  • Major Malaysian Property and Investment Firm: Successfully conducted cyberdrill on golden images, validated response procedures against threat scenarios and improved cybersecurity awareness through realistic attack simulations.

  • Expressway and Toll Road Management Company: Successfully conducted a 4-hour stress test cyberdrill to simulate a real world attack scenario. Curated roadmap to improve detection and response processes and timings. 

Conclusion

The shift from traditional manual cyberdrills to continuous automated security validation allowed Techlab’s to keep delivering superior outcomes at scale while reducing costs and complexity. All while meeting the new regulatory requirements in Malaysia.
