How Was TTPSEC Founded?
TTPSEC SpA was founded as a Center of Excellence in Cybersecurity (CoE) with a clear mission: to sustainably raise the level of cybersecurity in Chile and across the region. More than a service provider, we are an organization focused on building specialized knowledge and developing advanced technical capabilities, combining solid methodologies with innovative, actionable solutions.
After more than 20 years creating value from within public and private organizations, we made a decisive move: to offer a professional service genuinely centered on the client — not on selling generic solutions.
We were clients before we were vendors. We were real CISOs.
We lived through the same challenges our clients face today: tight budgets, high risk exposure, critical decisions under pressure, lean teams, and the obligation to protect without room for error. We faced them, overcame them, and learned from every experience — including the mistakes. That lived experience is the foundation of our value proposition.
We don't believe in replicating models designed for multinationals in organizations that don't have that level of investment, maturity, or risk profile. That's why we design solutions aligned with your reality and your operational and regulatory context. We don't offer a one-size-fits-all approach — because we understand that every cybersecurity challenge requires a specific response, not a pre-packaged recipe.
Our team is made up of highly specialized consultants — all certified professionals and graduate-level instructors at prestigious universities across Latin America. This ensures permanently up-to-date knowledge, backed by hands-on experience in critical environments and aligned with the most demanding international standards.
For us, cybersecurity is not a trend or a product — it is part of our professional DNA. That is why we are not here just to deliver a service. We are here to become your strategic partner, with honesty, technical judgment, real-world experience, and a genuine commitment to the protection and continuity of your business.
Why the Name TTPSEC?
The name TTPSEC is not arbitrary or commercial — it is conceptual, technical, and strategic.
TTP
Derived from Tactics, Techniques and Procedures — a fundamental concept in cybersecurity that describes how adversaries actually operate:
- Tactics: the attacker's why (objective).
- Techniques: the how of executing the attack.
- Procedures: the specific way it is carried out.
This model is the backbone of frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK and defines our vision: understanding the adversary through their real behavior, not theoretical assumptions.
SEC
Stands for Security, understood in its broadest sense:
- Information security
- Cybersecurity
- Operational security (IT / OT / ICS)
- Risk management and business resilience
TTPSEC = security grounded in adversarial reality.
Why is this consistent with how we work?
- We design defense, detection, and response based on real TTPs.
- We integrate threat intelligence, Purple Team, Blue Team, and advanced detection.
- We translate technical frameworks (such as MITRE ATT&CK) into executive language and business decisions.
- We align technical security with risk, impact, and operational continuity.
Security is built by first understanding the adversary, then protecting what truly matters: the business, the people, and the operation.
Where Have We Worked?
As a company, we launched in 2022, and by 2024 we had consolidated our path to full dedication. We are building something with a clear proposition: delivering real, honest cybersecurity tailored to each organization.
As professionals, however, we bring over 20 years of real-world cybersecurity experience and 15 years developing talent through graduate programs, diplomas, and certifications across Latin America.
Our team has worked in strategic national institutions, holding positions of responsibility in areas such as incident response, auditing, critical infrastructure protection, and cyber intelligence.
Our color is purple because we bring together the best of the Blue Team (defense) and the Red Team (offense), integrating both perspectives to work from a 360° strategy centered on real threats.
More than providing services, we build partnerships. And more than applying best practices, we generate impact. Because we understand that cybersecurity is not just technology — it is strategy, knowledge, processes, culture, and coordinated action.
Our clients come from key industries:
