As innovation and adoption of Kubernetes increases, the threat landscape also increases. Security professionals need to protect assets by adopting practices to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber threats while meeting strict compliance requirements. One of these requirements is to secure and monitor each layer of the cloud native stack, which includes the host OS Kubernetes runs on.

Wazuh can be used for this purpose. It is a free, open source host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS). It provides intrusion detection for most operating systems, including Linux, macOS and Windows. Wazuh provides a security solution capable of monitoring your infrastructure, detecting threats and poorly configured applications. Wazuh is a fork of a popular HIDS known as OSSEC. Its main components are the Wazuh manager, the Elastic stack and the Wazuh agent.
