ResorsIT Uses Wazuh For EndPoint Protection

Wazuh is an open-source security monitoring platform that provides visibility into your IT infrastructure through log analysis, intrusion detection, vulnerability detection, and compliance monitoring. It collects and analyzes logs from servers, network devices, and applications in real time, generating alerts based on predefined rules and anomalies detected in that data.

Intrusion Detection

On the intrusion detection side, Wazuh monitors critical files for unauthorized changes and analyzes system logs and processes to identify suspicious activity. It regularly scans systems for known vulnerabilities using the CVE database and helps prioritize remediation based on severity. Events from different sources are correlated to identify patterns that individual log entries would not reveal on their own — alerts can be routed via email, Slack, or other channels based on configurable thresholds.

Configuration Assessment and Compliance

Wazuh also performs configuration assessment, evaluating system configurations against security best practices, and generates compliance reports for applicable regulatory standards. A web-based dashboard provides a central view of security events, logs, and system health, with customizable layouts for specific monitoring needs. It integrates with other security tools through a RESTful API and supports both agent-based and agentless collection methods.
