Synthetic Adversarial Log Objects (SALO) is a framework for the generation of log events without the need for infrastructure or actions to initiate the event that causes a log event. Learn more about its purpose and how you can utilize it.

Automate and simplify finding detections against ATT&CK techniques used by adversaries with Splunk SURGe's open-sourced project, ATT&CK Detections Collector (ADA).

Good news, you can use Splunk to proactively hunt using Network Traffic and DNS query logs data sources to detect potential Log4Shell exploit. From Splunk SURGe, learn even more detections against CVE-2021-44228.

Accompanying today’s announcement from CISA (BOD 22-01) and their new Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, SURGe and Splunk Threat Research Team (STRT) have coordinated to add functionality into Enterprise Security Content Updates (ESCU). This added functionality will help network defenders understand vulnerability context alongside relevant ESCU detections.

Software supply chain attacks are not going away. As our network defenses improve, adversaries must move up the chain to stay a step ahead of our defenses.

The SolarWinds Orion compromise resulted in the first recorded use of Golden SAML in the wild. Learn how you can start detecting this in Splunk now.
