This versatile security app checks for vulnerabilities, watches logs, and acts as a single interface for other tools.

Education and user awareness are very important for combating the danger of cyberattacks. Unfortunately, sometimes sysadmins don't find the necessary information in time because the techniques for breaking through security are constantly changing.

Wazuh is a free and open source security platform that provides unified XDR and SIEM protection for endpoints and cloud workloads. Wazuh components abide by the GNU General Public License version 2 and the Apache License Version 2.0. The Wazuh agent is a single and lightweight monitoring tool. You can deploy the agent on laptops, desktops, servers, cloud instances, containers, or virtual machines. You can also use the agent to obtain information about vulnerabilities.
Wazuh can detect malware threats, identify vulnerabilities, monitor file integrity, and display information on system inventory. Another important benefit of Wazuh is that it is easy to integrate with other tools.
