Summary

This chapter introduced us to the synergy between Wazuh and malware detection, covering its capabilities in FIM and using VirusTotal for enhanced threat intelligence and the CDB list to build a list of known malware hashes. The integration of Windows Defender logs with Wazuh provided us with a unified look at security events on a Windows machine. In the end, we talked about the integration of Sysmon with a Windows machine to detect fileless malware on the Windows machine.

In the next chapter, we will learn how to enhance Wazuh’s threat intelligence capabilities by integrating the Malware Information Sharing Platform (MISP). To build a scalable system, we will also integrate TheHive and Cortex with the MISP platform.
