Over the last 10+ years, OWASP SAMM has proven an effective model for improving secure software practices to a wide variety of organizations. Release v2 of SAMM adds automation along with maturity measurements which assess both coverage and quality. Here we look at some the new features and changes compared to the previous version.
We at Mint Security wanted to have a look at the Koronavilkku application and pitch in. The application proved to be of very high quality securitywise. There were no significant security findings.
Recon and red teaming can be done separately, but they also work hand in hand. It may be a good idea for a company to do a thorough recon to understand the adversaries view on the organization – and this not only in the technical sense.
Developers are, in effect, the only people in any organization who can fix vulnerabilities hidden in their applications. Veracode Security Labs helps meet the requirements of security standards while providing a meaningful way for the entire development team to learn more.
How much common ground is shared between technical vulnerability scanners and the de facto global information security standard? Quite a lot, actually. In this blog post we examine how Holm Security VMP platform meets ISO 27001 requirements for detecting vulnerabilities in an organization’s information systems, assessing the involved risks and taking corrective actions.
Managing a Splunk installation can be a complex task, but with proper tools and processes, it will become a lot more approachable. Recently, a customer wanted to have a Splunk environment that they could install and manage with Ansible. So that is what we created.
Planning for an industry standard compliant information security management system — in brief: carrying out an ISO 27001 project — can break cover from various starting points. Some organizations have already familiarized themselves with the standard, some have even written the first mandatory documents. Yet for many, this article could be the first contact with any form of security work at all.
Researchers at Spamhaus Malware Labs identified and blocked 17,602 botnet C&C servers hosted on 1,210 different networks. That is an enormous 71.5% increase from the number of botnet C&Cs seen in 2018. Since 2017, the number of newly detected botnet C&Cs has almost doubled from 9,500 to 17,602.
“The cloud!” somebody shouts out loud. “This means my data is sent to the cloud – my precious telemetry data that in the hands of the bad guys could reveal too much about myself!”. This is correct. And for the sake of transparency, let’s have a look at what actually goes on behind the scenes.
Mint Security tarjoaa Splunkia käyttäville erilaisia lisäarvollisia Splunk konsultointipalveluita jolla saadaan omasta ympäristöstä kaikki irti – turvallisesti.
Through Network Behavior Analytics for Splunk and our native integrations for Demisto and Graylog, we instantly enrich network indicators (FQDNs, URLs, and IP addresses) to provide security teams with hunting material.
This blog post will show you how to integrate Travis CI and Veracode. Travis is a cloud based continuous integration (ci) service, that can be used to automate tests and builds for software projects hosted in GitHub.
Clustered Splunk Enterprise installations are mainly managed by the related management nodes. Indexer Cluster with the Cluster Master and Search Head Cluster with the Search Head Cluster Deployer. Without an additional process of change management, there is no way to easily track down what has been changed, by who and when.
Mint Security has a set of predefined delivery models to choose from. These are based on best practices and experience.
A common tool used to assess the security of a web application is penetration testing. Known also as pentest. Pentest is a “legal” simulated attack that seeks to use an application in a way that could be harmful to either the system, the data in the system, or the people who use the system.
So, you’ve got your Splunk Enterprise up and running and collecting data from some of your systems. A few dashboards have been created too and life is good. But perhaps, there could be more .

When Spamhaus Malware Labs observe a 100% increase in the number of domains that are being registered by cybercriminals to host a botnet command & control (C&C) it’s time to stop. Cybercriminals prefer to use a domain name registered exclusively to host a botnet C&C
Mint Security is a Splunk partner and a license reseller. In addition, Mint Security provides a vast range of überconsulting for Splunk. From a single server to clustered multisite setups with integrated SSO and 2FA.
As the use of open source code in development projects continues to grow exponentially, software development teams must take great pains to address open source risk.
Splunk Enterprise is known as a de-facto do-it-all log collector, that in reality is fairly easy to start with, but can be complex to master.
CIRCLean is a independent open source software built on the Raspberry PI. It transfers files from untrusted to trusted USB sticks. CIRClean adds a ‘.DANGEROUS’ filename extension to all suspicious files.
This post is not a technical silver bullet. Nor is it the absolute truth. As a starting point though it is good. It adheres to common sense, is based on risk analysis – and provides good value for the effort.
The main points in this post are about the different E’s (elliptic and ephemeral) as well as EC in the key exchange and the certificate signature algorithms.
