Five Core Tenets Of Highly Effective DevSecOps Practices

One of the enduring challenges of building modern applications is to make them more secure without disrupting high-velocity DevOps processes or degrading the developer experience. Today’s cyber threat landscape is rife with sophisticated attacks aimed at all different parts of the software supply chain and the urgency for software-producing organizations to adopt DevSecOps practices that deeply

Are Source Code Leaks the New Threat Software vendors Should Care About?

Less than a month ago, Twitter indirectly acknowledged that some of its source code had been leaked on the code-sharing platform GitHub by sending a copyright infringement notice to take down the incriminated repository. The latter is now inaccessible, but according to the media, it was accessible to the public for several months. A user going by the name FreeSpeechEnthousiast committed

Threatest - Threatest Is A Go Framework For End-To-End Testing Threat Detection Rules


Threatest is a Go framework for testing threat detection end-to-end.

Threatest allows you to detonate an attack technique, and verify that the alert you expect was generated in your favorite security platform.

Read the announcement blog post: https://securitylabs.datadoghq.com/articles/threatest-end-to-end-testing-threat-detection/


Concepts

Detonators

A detonator describes how and where an attack technique is executed.

Supported detonators:

  • Local command execution
  • SSH command execution
  • Stratus Red Team
  • AWS detonator

Alert matchers

An alert matcher is a platform-specific integration that can check if an expected alert was triggered.

Supported alert matchers:

  • Datadog security signals

Detonation and alert correlation

Each detonation is assigned a UUID. This UUID is reflected in the detonation and used to ensure that the matched alert corresponds exactly to this detonation.

The way this is done depends on the detonator; for instance, Stratus Red Team and the AWS Detonator inject it in the user-agent; the SSH detonator uses a parent process containing the UUID.

Sample usage

See examples for complete usage example.

Testing Datadog Cloud SIEM signals triggered by Stratus Red Team

threatest := Threatest()

threatest.Scenario("AWS console login").
WhenDetonating(StratusRedTeamTechnique("aws.initial-access.console-login-without-mfa")).
Expect(DatadogSecuritySignal("AWS Console login without MFA").WithSeverity("medium")).
WithTimeout(15 * time.Minute)

assert.NoError(t, threatest.Run())

Testing Datadog Cloud Workload Security signals triggered by running commands over SSH

ssh, _ := NewSSHCommandExecutor("test-box", "", "")

threatest := Threatest()

threatest.Scenario("curl to metadata service").
WhenDetonating(NewCommandDetonator(ssh, "curl http://169.254.169.254 --connect-timeout 1")).
Expect(DatadogSecuritySignal("EC2 Instance Metadata Service Accessed via Network Utility"))

assert.NoError(t, threatest.Run())
