Now that we are truly done with SOAR, our Testing Security project continues in full force. This post is a bit contemplative, and related to the question of ‘why test security if we are >>oh-so-sure<< that we did things right here… Continue reading How Much of Your Security Gear Is Misconfigured or Not Configured?

Aidan Finn discusses Azure DevTest Labs, a way to provide self-service for developers and testers with helpful automation but budge control for the business.
The post How to Develop and Test Software with Azure VMs appeared first on Petri.

What’s worse than powering up your latest build for the first time only to have absolutely nothing happen? OK, maybe it’s not as bad as releasing the Magic Smoke, but it’s still pretty bewildering to have none of your blinky lights blink like they’re supposed to.
What you do at that point is largely a matter of your troubleshooting style, and when [Scott M. Baker]’s Raspberry Pi jukebox build failed to chooch, he returned to first principles and checked the power cable. That turned out to be the culprit, but instead of giving up there, he did a thorough series …read more
Now that we are on a subject of testing security and breach/attack simulation tools, one more interesting questions arises: if you test security, what constitute a “pass”? Or, alternatively, at what level do you test? Think back the infamou… Continue reading Security Testing: At What Level?

A question came up as we are ramping up our testing security and breach and attack simulation tools research projects. Just how motivated are organizations to test whether they have done a good job with security? Note that I think there is a subtle dif… Continue reading On Negative Pressure or Why NOT Objectively Test Security?
Want to hear a penetration testing joke? No, not this one: …but this one: Q: Do you need a pentest done? A: Not sure … will it make us secure? On a more serious note, the biggest challenge with tests of anything is of course how you act on … Continue reading The Bane of All Security Tests: Acting on Results

In the early 20th century, Guinness breweries in Dublin had a policy of hiring the best graduates from Oxford and Cambridge to improve their industrial processes. At the time, it was considered a trade secret that they were using statistical methods to improve their process and product.
One problem they were having was that the z-test (a commonly used test at the time) required large sample sizes, and sufficient data was often unavailable. By studying the properties of small sample sizes, William Sealy Gosset developed a statistical test that required fewer samples to produce a reasonable result. As the …read more
