Wazuh is a free and open source SIEM and XDR platform.
The Wazuh central components analyze security data from endpoints in your infrastructure.
The following sections contain more details on Wazuh capabilities that help in protecting critical infrastructure.
Here is a blog post that shows how Wazuh can be integrated with CDB lists for detecting and responding to malicious files.
Using the Wazuh FIM module, you can detect changes to configuration files on critical systems and determine if the activity is authorized or malicious.
The active response module was configured to deny network connection from an identified malicious source in the blog post Responding to network attacks with Suricata and Wazuh XDR. Implementing security across multiple layers of critical infrastructure reduces an organization's attack surface.
