Proof, not promises.
Most organisations pass audits. Few can demonstrate their defences hold under conditions that resemble a real attack. Obsidio closes that gap.
Why conventional testing leaves you exposed.
Centralised traffic is easy to filter
Test traffic from a single source is rejected by upstream defences before it ever reaches your infrastructure.
WAFs learn the test pattern
Repeated testing from the same origins trains your defences to recognise the test, not the threat.
Limited scale understates real exposure
Synthetic load testing cannot reproduce the volume and behavioural diversity of a real distributed attack.
Results satisfy auditors, not attackers
Reports from inadequate testing pass procedural review, but offer no operational assurance.
How WAF bypass actually happens
When test traffic originates from a small set of recognised sources — datacenter IP ranges, known load-testing services, or cloud regions associated with security tooling — modern WAFs and edge providers learn to identify and downweight it. The simulated attack is filtered before it ever exercises your application logic, your origin defences, or your rate-limiting configuration.
The test passes. The report is clean. But your defences have demonstrated nothing other than their ability to block the test itself. A real distributed attack from tens of thousands of residential IPs and mobile devices behaves nothing like that signature — and your false confidence becomes an exposure your board cannot see.
Real scale. Real conditions. Real evidence.
100,000+ globally distributed real devices
Not virtualised instances. Not datacenter IPs. Real hardware devices and smartphones generating traffic indistinguishable from an actual botnet — so your defences are tested against something that behaves like a real attack. The geographical and behavioural diversity ensures your edge providers cannot pre-filter the test.
Tamper-proof, digitally signed reports
Every simulation produces evidence that is digitally signed and cannot be altered after the fact. Your risk officer can hand it directly to your regulator or external auditor with confidence that the record is complete and unmodified — and the same report can be referenced across multiple supervisory cycles.
Configure. Test. Adapt. Retest.
The Obsidio platform is self-service, designed for security and compliance teams to run simulations on demand. Whether you run internal red team exercises or engage external security consultants, Obsidio gives you the distributed scale and independently verified evidence output that manual red team engagements cannot replicate — and the audit trail to prove each test occurred.
Fully authorised and controlled
All simulations run against your own infrastructure under explicit written authorisation. Instant stop controls give your team complete authority at every point, with a full audit trail maintained throughout. Authorisation is verified before any traffic is generated.
From authorisation to evidence in four steps.
Authorize
DNS or technical verification confirms you own the infrastructure being tested. No simulation begins without it.
Configure
Select simulation type, scale, duration, and target parameters. The platform is self-service — no vendor scheduling required.
Simulate
Traffic originates from 100,000+ real distributed devices across global locations, generating conditions indistinguishable from a real distributed attack.
Report
Export a tamper-proof, digitally signed compliance report ready for your regulator, auditor, or board.
