Wazuh adds AI tools for SOC workflows

Wazuh described AI features for its cloud service and self-hosted deployments, including scheduled reports, local model use and a dashboard assistant built on third-party AI services.

The Hacker News

Wazuh presented AI as a way to reduce repetitive work in security operations rather than replace analysts. It said its cloud service and self-hosted deployments could both make use of AI tools.

For Wazuh Cloud, the company said the AI Analyst handled subscription data through Amazon Bedrock and Anthropic's Claude. It said the service sent scheduled reports by email and also made them available in the cloud console.

Wazuh said those reports included key indicators, endpoint coverage, alert volume, active vulnerabilities and a summary of the security posture. It said the data was encrypted in transit, processed in isolation and not kept permanently.

The company also described a self-hosted option in which Ollama ran Meta's Llama locally on the Wazuh server. In that setup, a script prepared archived logs for a chatbot, and a separate integration exposed Claude 3.5 Haiku in the dashboard through OpenSearch Assistant.
