Frequently asked questions
What is Obsidio?
Obsidio is a Swiss DDoS simulation platform designed for critical infrastructure and companies. It provides controlled, realistic DDoS simulations that generate verifiable, audit-ready proof of operational resilience.
Who needs DDoS simulations?
Any organisation whose operations depend on online availability — banks, insurers, FMIs, energy and telecom providers, healthcare, government services, and large e-commerce. Anywhere FINMA, DORA, NIS2, or board-level resilience evidence is required.
How does Obsidio differ from other testing providers?
Traditional providers use a small number of cloud load generators. Obsidio orchestrates real, ethically sourced devices distributed worldwide, generating traffic that's indistinguishable from a genuine attack. Every result is cryptographically signed and independently verifiable.
How do you ensure tests are safe and authorized?
Every simulation requires explicit ownership verification — typically a DNS TXT record — before any traffic is generated. Tests run inside Trusted Execution Environments with full audit logging. No traffic can be launched against infrastructure you don't control.
Will simulations disrupt our production systems?
You define the intensity, duration, and scope. Most institutions run progressive simulations starting in a controlled window with conservative limits, then ramp up as confidence grows. Live metrics let you abort instantly.
What evidence will we receive after a test?
A cryptographically attested PDF report plus structured JSON data: full traffic profile, mitigation effectiveness, regulator-aligned control mapping, and tamper-proof signatures any auditor can verify.
How does Obsidio support compliance?
Reports map directly to FINMA operational resilience requirements, DORA Article 25 testing obligations, and NIS2 incident-response expectations. Repeat the same scenario quarterly to show continuous improvement over time.
Is Obsidio only for financial institutions?
No — finance is our deepest expertise but the platform serves any critical-infrastructure operator. Healthcare, energy, telecom, government, SaaS, and large e-commerce all use Obsidio.
Who develops and operates Obsidio?
Obsidio is built and operated by Papers AG, a Swiss engineering firm specialising in regulated-industry security and compliance tooling.
