What is Wazuh?
Wazuh is an EDR (endpoint detection and response.) solution and can be considered as an HIDS (host intrusion detection system). It monitors the endpoint for any indicators of a threat or policy violations in addition to the ability of auditing against some cyber security frameworks.
Wazuh can be used to achieve the following:
- Auditing a device for common vulnerabilities
- Proactively monitoring a device for suspicious activity such as unauthorised logins, brute-force attacks or privilege escalations
- Visualising complex data and events into neat and trendy graphs
- Recording a device’s normal operating behaviour to help with detecting anomalies

The book emphasizes integrating Wazuh with major security tools (Suricata, VirusTotal, TheHive, MISP, Fortinet, OPNsense) for real-time correlation and threat intelligence.
