Wazuh Agent

The Wazuh Agent is a lightweight, open source host-based intrusion detection and prevention system that can be easily installed on Windows, macOS, Linux, and other Unix-like operating systems. Developed by Wazuh, Inc., this agent helps organizations detect and respond to security threats in real-time.

The Wazuh Agent uses a combination of signature-based detection and behavioral monitoring to identify potential threats such as malware infections, unauthorized access attempts, system file modifications, and more. It also includes built-in support for monitoring logs from a variety of sources including servers, applications, and network devices.

The agent is easy to install and configure using simple command-line tools. Once installed, it can be used to collect data from multiple sources and send it to a central Wazuh server for analysis and correlation. This allows organizations to aggregate security data from across their network in a centralized location, making it easier to identify patterns and potential threats.

As an open source solution, the Wazuh Agent is available for free download and use under the GNU General Public License. It also includes a range of customization options that allow organizations to tailor the agent to meet their unique security needs.
