Book Description

Strengthen your cybersecurity posture with Wazuh’s powerful security monitoring and compliance capabilities.

Security Monitoring with Wazuh is a comprehensive, hands-on guide that helps you deploy, configure, and optimize Wazuh to detect threats, automate incident response, and enforce compliance. With real-world use cases, step-by-step configurations, and tool integrations, this book equips you to build an enterprise-grade defense system.

You'll begin by setting up an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) using Wazuh and integrating Suricata to monitor network and host-based threats. Moving forward, you'll explore malware detection, vulnerability assessment, and security automation with SOAR. The book also covers threat intelligence, incident response, and proactive threat hunting, helping you detect and mitigate cybersecurity risks effectively.

Beyond detection, you'll enforce compliance with industry standards such as MITRE ATT&CK, PCI DSS, and GDPR, ensuring regulatory adherence and security best practices. By integrating Wazuh with TheHive, Cortex, MISP, and other security tools, you'll streamline threat analysis and response.

By the end of this book, you'll master Wazuh's full potential, enabling you to deploy, manage, and enhance security monitoring across your infrastructure—from on-premises to cloud environments.
