SaltMiner is a set of software components that together provide the ability to aggregate application security testing data from multiple scanning solutions. The solution includes the following components:
- Synchronization applications (Sync) that import data from the various scanning solutions and keep this data synchronized between SaltMiner’s Indices and the scanning vendors REST API end points.
- SaltMiner : performs ETL (extract, transform, load) operations that transform the information from the vendors data formats, apply custom business logic and put data into the indices that SaltMiner users for reporting.
- Elasticsearch: a set of Elasticsearch indices (data base) that are used to store the various datasets that make up SaltMiner.
- Kibana: a set of dashboards, visualizations and configurations that create the application security dashboard.
The individual components of SaltMiner are shown below.
