This video provides an introduction to Wazuh, a free and open-source platform for threat detection, prevention, and response. It explains how Wazuh SIEM works through agents installed on different operating systems that collect and send logs back to the Wazuh server for analysis, allowing it to detect security-related events. The video also covers the deployment options available for Wazuh, including the all-in-one and distributed deployment options, as well as the importance of modules like configuration assessment and log collection. The speaker also acknowledges the Patreon supporters who make the production of high-quality content possible.
In this section of the video, the host covers an introduction to Wazuh, a free and open-source platform used for threat detection, prevention, and response. It’s a SIEM that collects, analyzes, aggregates, indexes, and analyzes security-related data from various sources, primarily log files, to detect intrusions, attacks, vulnerabilities, and/or malicious activity. Wazuh can be used to protect any computer or device, including networks, virtualized environments, containers, and cloud environments. The video covers the setup process for deploying Wazuh on Linux by setting up Wazuh agents on the operating systems to be protected, followed by an overview of the interface, how to view alerts using a few filters, and displaying a list of features offered by Wazuh.
In this section of the video, the speaker introduces the components of Wazuh SIEM, which includes the Wazuh agent, Wazuh server, and Elastic stack (also known as ELK stack). The Wazuh agent is installed on the devices that require monitoring and communicates with the Wazuh server to analyze the data received and match it against rule sets to identify security events. The Elastic stack displays and indexes the alerts generated by the Wazuh server and provides users with robust data visualization and analysis functionality. The speaker also explains how Wazuh can monitor devices like networking equipment that cannot run the Wazuh agent and the importance of modules like configuration assessment and log collection.
In this section, the speaker discusses the functionality of Wazuh SIEM and how it operates through agents installed on different operating systems, which will collect and send logs back to the Wazuh server for analysis. The logs are matched against rule sets and only events related to security issues, exploits, or malware are displayed. The Wazuh server can be used for threat intelligence, vulnerability detection, and regulatory compliance. The configuration of the Wazuh server can be time-consuming and confusing, but cloud images are available, which can simplify the deployment process, and make it easier for users to focus on the actual usage of the tool. Additionally, the speaker presents a lab environment with examples of different operating systems, such as a Windows 7 virtual machine, a Linux server, and an attacker system, and explains the deployment options for Wazuh, including the all-in-one option or the distributed infrastructure.
In this section, the speaker explains the deployment options available for Wazuh. The first option is the all-in-one option, which involves installing everything on a single server and is ideal for beginners. The second option is the distributed deployment option, which involves setting up each component on a separate server, making it suitable for large environments where scalability is essential. The speaker also explains what agents are and how they are used for endpoint security. Finally, the speaker acknowledges the Patreon supporters who make producing high-quality content possible.
