Open Vista Wazuh
Find Out More About Our Wazuh Services
Every digital business is concerned about data protection. To protect your data, you must watch for dangers, recognize them, and respond swiftly. However, these time-consuming methods never allow you to focus on your business successfully. As a result, our hassle-free wazuh services enable you to strengthen your security while meeting your present and future business needs.
Open Vista provides innovative managed detection and response services. With Wazuh's superior open-source security and remote log management capabilities, this combination enables real-time visibility into your organization's security posture. You may improve the overall security resilience of your systems by being able to recognize and respond to threats quickly. Organizations implement SIEM (Security Information Event Management) systems to address this issue.
To grasp the true meaning of SIEM, two crucial terms must be understood:
- SEM - Security Event Management - collects logs from endpoints.
- SIM - Security Information Management: It analyzes gathered logs.
So, the formula looks like this:
SEM + SIM= SIEM (Security Information Event Management)
SIEM is a technology that assists businesses in collecting logs and converting them into useful information that can then be evaluated. Simultaneously, it delivers real-time monitoring and analysis capabilities and warnings when any rule violation or security attack occurs.
Basic working and component workflow of Wazuh
Wazuh's platform combines cloud, container, and server application security features. These services include intrusion and malware detection, log data analysis, file integrity monitoring, vulnerability discovery, configuration assessment, and regulatory compliance assistance. The following are the three components that comprise the Wazuh solution:
- Wazuh agent: When installed on endpoints such as laptops, desktops, servers, cloud instances, or virtual machines, it provides prevention, detection, and response capabilities. It runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, HP-UX, Solaris, and AIX.
- Wazuh server: Investigate data received from agents, processing it with decoders and algorithms and employing threat intelligence to look for well-known indicators of compromise (IOCs). When configured as a cluster, a single server can assess data from hundreds or thousands of agents and scale horizontally.
- Elastic Stack: Wazuh server alerts are indexed and saved. Furthermore, integrating Wazuh with Kibana provides a comprehensive user interface for data visualization and analysis. This interface also manages and monitors Wazuh settings and status.
The Wazuh platform can monitor agent-less devices such as firewalls, switches, routers, and network intrusion detection systems (IDS). Wazuh agents scan monitored systems for malware, rootkits, and suspicious anomalies. Hidden files, cloaked processes, unregistered network listeners, and differences in system call answers can all be identified.
Some of Wazuh's key features are as follows:
- Intrusion Detection
- Log Data Analysis
- File Integrity Monitoring
- Vulnerability Detection
- Incident Response
- Regulatory Compliance
- Cloud & Container Security Monitoring
What are the top benefits of Wazuh?
Wazuh is an effective tool for detecting and mitigating IT security threats on-premises and in the cloud. Here are a few of the specific advantages for users:
Detection of threats in real-time
Each Wazuh server is directly connected to the MITRE ATT&CK database, allowing for real-time updates on risks discovered by the Wazuh user community. Because of this crowdsourced security data, every installation and agent across the whole community may be immediately updated once a new threat is confirmed.
Integrates XDR and SIEM features.
Wazuh is a comprehensive solution for proactive IT security threat management due to combining XDR and SIEM functionalities. Users can detect and neutralize attacks before they compromise their systems.
Comprehensive Endpoint Security
Wazuh agents are available for Microsoft Windows, Apple MacOS, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX endpoint operating systems.
A range of deployment options
Wazuh provides a variety of container deployment methods to better complement the contemporary microservices-based operating environment. Containers such as Wazuh Kubernetes, Puppet, Ansible, and Docker are available. Virtual machines, Amazon Machine Images, and even installation from sources are also available.
The SaaS option.
Wazuh has released a cloud-based version of its software to assist businesses in reducing administrative costs. Users benefit from endpoint protection and threat detection throughout their IT estate (including other cloud platforms) via a SaaS subscription but without the back-office infrastructure requirements and costs.
Operating Systems Supported
The Wazuh central components are 64-bit Linux operating system compatible, with specific suggested versions for each operating system.
- Amazon Linux 2
- CentOS 7 and 8
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 to 9
- Ubuntu 16.04 to 22.04.
- Debian 12
- Oracle Linux 9.1
Wazuh has qualities that make it a complete XDR.
Endpoint security
Wazuh delivers threat prevention, detection, and response capabilities. Wazuh agents installed on endpoints perform the following functions:
- Gather security information.
- Report configuration errors and security flaws.
- Keep an eye on the file system and notify us of any changes.
Wazuh offers self-defense capabilities, automatic reactions to recognized attacks, security visibility, and endpoint monitoring. The Wazuh solution can respond by uninstalling harmful files, blocking malicious network connections, and taking other remedies.
Threat Intelligence
Researchers in cybersecurity and threat actors continue to discover and exploit flaws in computer systems. As a result, businesses must be aware of existing and emerging IT infrastructure vulnerabilities.
Wazuh includes a vulnerability detection module that searches installed apps for vulnerabilities regularly. To provide security visibility, it correlates endpoint data with the most recent CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure) databases.
The Wazuh system also includes the MITRE ATT&CK framework, which allows it to swiftly identify and hunt for adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) across an organizational context. Event alerts are mapped to their associated MITRE ATT&CK method to contain important information.
Security Operations
The capacity of an XDR to aggregate, standardize, and correlate data from multiple sources is a significant feature. To create helpful security information, Wazuh captures and analyzes numerous events from various devices.
An anomaly and malware detection module in the security agents identifies anomalous and harmful events on endpoints. Wazuh assists regulatory compliance by employing rulesets meticulously mapped against compliance standards. Wazuh supports compliance frameworks such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, NIST SP 800-53, and TSC.
Cloud Security
Cloud-native solutions are increasingly being used by businesses to host their services. Wazuh protects on-premises workloads and cloud infrastructure in real-time. It can be linked with cloud services such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Microsoft Azure to give cloud-level security to these infrastructures. The Wazuh solution further protects containerized workloads by supporting popular technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
