Wazuh delivers robust security monitoring and protection for IT assets through its integrated Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) capabilities. The platform is designed to safeguard digital assets and enhance an organization's cybersecurity posture by addressing a wide array of security challenges. It offers automated vulnerability detection by pulling software inventory data via Wazuh agents and correlating it with continuously updated CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure) databases. This process helps identify known vulnerable software, enabling organizations to find and address flaws in critical assets proactively before they can be exploited by attackers. The platform operates through several central components: the Wazuh Indexer, a highly scalable full-text search and analysis engine responsible for indexing and storing alerts; the Wazuh Server, which manages agents, configures and updates them remotely, and analyzes received data through decoders and rules, leveraging threat intelligence for indicators of compromise; the Wazuh Dashboard, a flexible web interface for data mining, analysis, visualization, and configuration management; and the Wazuh Agent, a multi-platform component running on monitored endpoints to provide prevention, detection, and response capabilities.
