Abstract
The rapid growth of network-based threats requires robust mechanisms to protect sensitive data and infrastructure. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) play a pivotal role in identifying and mitigating these threats. Snort, a widely-used open-source IDS, excels in real-time traffic analysis and packet logging, allowing organizations to detect suspicious activities and potential attacks. Complementing this, Wazuh offers a comprehensive security monitoring solution with capabilities like log analysis, file integrity monitoring, and vulnerability assessment.Integrating Snort with Wazuh enhances an organization's security by combining the strengths of network traffic analysis and centralized security management. This integration facilitates real-time threat detection, centralized alert correlation, and automated responses, providing a unified view of security incidents. The synergy between Snort and Wazuh ensures improved visibility into both network and endpoint activities, allowing for faster and more efficient incident response.The project focuses on implementing the integration of Snort and Wazuh to demonstrate the practical benefits of enhanced threat detection, centralized monitoring, and scalability. By addressing the challenges of fragmented security monitoring, the integration provides a streamlined and effective approach to safeguarding organizational assets against evolving cyber threats.
