Enterprise security doesn't require an enterprise budget, but it does require enterprise discipline. Wazuh has emerged as the premier open-source SIEM, XDR, and compliance monitoring platform, used by thousands of organizations to secure their environments without crippling licensing costs.

In this hands-on module, we move beyond proprietary, black-box tools and build a fully functional, open-source SOC stack from scratch. You will deploy the Wazuh manager, configure secure agent communication, write custom XML detection rules to catch advanced adversary TTPs, and build actionable dashboards to monitor your fleet. This is your masterclass in building, tuning, and operating a world-class security platform on open-source infrastructure.
