Wazuh Platform

The Wazuh Platform is a unified, comprehensive open-source Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) platform engineered to provide threat detection, security monitoring, incident response, and compliance auditing across endpoints, networks, and cloud environments. Trusted by thousands of organizations worldwide, Wazuh delivers enterprise-grade security capabilities without proprietary licensing fees.

The platform architecture unifies three primary components: lightweight multi-OS Wazuh Agents, high-availability Wazuh Servers that process and analyze telemetry using custom decoders and rules, and the Wazuh Indexer/Dashboard based on OpenSearch. Core capabilities include real-time log analysis and correlation, File Integrity Monitoring (FIM), vulnerability management, rootkit and malware detection, container and Kubernetes security monitoring, cloud posture auditing (AWS, Azure, GCP), and automated active response playbooks that block attacks automatically.

Enterprises, educational institutions, government agencies, and managed service providers deploy the Wazuh Platform to replace costly commercial SIEMs and consolidate defensive tooling. It integrates smoothly with Docker, Kubernetes, AWS CloudTrail, Microsoft 365, and external ticketing tools. Common operational use cases include building centralized corporate security operations centers, monitoring regulatory compliance across hybrid server fleets, detecting insider threat activities, automating incident containment, and fulfilling statutory compliance frameworks like PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR.
