Wazuh

What is Wazuh stack

Wazuh is a powerful open-source platform that delivers Extended Detection and Response (XDR) and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) capabilities to protect your cloud workloads, containers, and on-premises or hybrid servers. Wazuh empowers your cybersecurity strategy with key features such as:

• Real-time log analysis and event correlation
• Intrusion detection and malware threat prevention
• File integrity monitoring (FIM)
• Security configuration assessment
• Vulnerability detection and management
• Built-in regulatory compliance support (e.g., PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, NIST 800-53, CIS)

Scalable Security Architecture with Centralized Control

The Wazuh architecture is built around lightweight, multi-platform Wazuh agents and three core components: the Wazuh server, the Wazuh indexer, and the Wazuh dashboard.

• Wazuh Agent: Deployed on endpoints such as Linux, Windows, macOS, AIX, Solaris, and HP-UX. These agents provide advanced endpoint detection and response (EDR), enabling threat detection, prevention, and response across your infrastructure - be it on-premise, in the cloud, or in virtualized environments.
• Wazuh Server: Acts as the central data processing engine, receiving and analyzing telemetry from hundreds or thousands of agents. It uses threat intelligence feeds and custom rule sets to detect known indicators of compromise (IOCs) and suspicious behavior. The server also manages agent configurations and remote updates, supporting horizontal scalability via clustering.
• Wazuh Indexer: A high-performance, full-text search engine designed to store and index security events and alerts. It enables fast querying and efficient correlation across large datasets - ideal for log management and forensic analysis.
• Wazuh Dashboard: A web-based SIEM dashboard for data visualization, threat hunting, and security operations. It features customizable panels for compliance monitoring, cloud security posture management (CSPM), vulnerability insights, and configuration drift detection. Users can also manage Wazuh settings and monitor platform health via this intuitive interface.

Agentless Monitoring for Network Devices

Wazuh also supports agentless monitoring for network security devices such as firewalls, switches, routers, and IDS/IPS systems. It collects Syslog data, conducts remote configuration assessments via SSH or API calls, and helps unify your security visibility across all assets.
