I set up a free SIEM with Wazuh and Kibana: this is how it detects a brute force attack in real time
El problema que casi nadie mira hasta que es tarde Trabajando en infraestructura para más de 25 sedes de una corporación, aprendí algo que se repite en todo el sector IT: el problema casi nunca es la falta de registros — es que nadie los revisa.

A cybersecurity expert developed a free Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system using open-source tools, including Wazuh and Kibana, to demonstrate its capabilities for small to medium-sized businesses.
