Wazuh Reviews

I use Wazuh for daily security operations mainly on EDR endpoints by installing it on the agents that we are monitoring to collect security data. It helps us monitor endpoints and know what is going on at each endpoint, and we are able to tap the data and use it in other platforms such as SOAR.

I find the threat hunting features of Wazuh most valuable, as we are more interested in the threat hunting side and want to move ahead into threat hunting before any threat becomes something that cannot be dealt with. Wazuh has a threat hunting functionality that we use extensively.

The intrusion detection capabilities work effectively in my environment, as we also have firewalls, and we rely more on the firewall side for intrusion detection.

The threat hunting features of Wazuh are particularly valuable for our operations. We focus heavily on threat hunting capabilities to address potential threats before they become unmanageable.

The intrusion detection capabilities integrate seamlessly with our existing firewall infrastructure. The system allows us to monitor endpoints effectively and collect security data that can be utilized across other platforms such as SOAR.

Wazuh is a SIEM platform with various applications in today's environment. Compliance checks have helped with regulatory requirements. I pulled in PCI DSS to check for file integrity monitoring. I completed one project where I removed malware.

The valuable features of Wazuh include being open source and having the capacity to be used for anything desired. It allows for creating new automations, whereas other Software as a Service platforms have their own business models. With this open source tool, organizations can establish their own customized setup.

I am currently evaluating and using Wazuh for file monitoring and compliance reporting. We are in the process of conducting a POC to understand how the rules work. I lead this effort to explore and evaluate Wazuh as part of my learning and work experience.

Wazuh's most valuable features include file monitoring and compliance reporting, which do not require excessive costs. These aspects are vital as they provide alerts for changes and facilitate the monitoring of compliance. The platform is also relatively easy to set up and operate. Reports are straightforward to extract and prove useful for compliance requirements.

I use the solution in my company as an open-source tool and in our organization as an SIEM and XDR. We mainly use it as a SIEM tool. Moreover, we can use it with Palo Alto Networks XDR for vulnerability scanning because it provides us with vulnerability detection modules. We also use SDS and IDS frameworks as my company is a fintech. We use PCI DSS and NIST 800-53 framework, which is provided by Wazuh.

The solution's most valuable features are the SIEM modules, vulnerability detection modules, NIST 800-53, and the MITRE framework. I think these four are the most valuable core things provided by Wazuh as an open-source tool.

We use Wazuh as a SIEM solution because it is open source, highly customizable, and continually expanding. Our clients can request various solutions for their issues, which Wazuh is able to address.

One of the most valuable features of Wazuh is its capability as a CVE helper. It assists in pulling reports about active CVEs in the system. Wazuh is a SIEM tool that is highly customizable and versatile. The fact that it is open source means it is always being expanded, which is beneficial for customizing solutions for individual client requests.

Our primary use case was around data collection and anomaly detection. We integrated Wazuh with Google Cloud and other cloud providers to receive alerts and insights if there is any unauthorized data access in the production environment. 

We also monitor virtual machines for any malicious command execution and get notifications for any privilege access attempts. Additionally, we detect anomalies in traffic patterns related to specific client accounts.

Wazuh has provided us with excellent clarity on data access, allowing us to significantly reduce instances of unnecessary production environment access and improve processes. 

We now have real-time visibility into the production environment on both cloud and critical virtual machines, which was not possible with our previous manual audits.

We use Wazuh for our Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) needs. It serves as a log aggregator and provides us the capability to monitor our servers for brute force attacks and other security threats. 

We use Wazuh's vulnerability management dashboard to scan our servers for vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with standards such as HIPAA and PCI DSS.

Wazuh has enhanced our security posture by providing visibility into our environment and enabling proactivity in incident response. It alerts us to any discrepancies in the environment, allowing us to respond swiftly. 

Additionally, it supports features like active response, blocking potential intrusions automatically.

I use the solution in my company for XDR and SIEM.

The solution's most valuable feature is that its XDR part provides a very good experience compared to other open-source software. Wazuh is also better than the existing XDR apps.
