Host-based IDS systems, or HIDS, work by monitoring activity that is occurring internally on a host. HIDS look for unusual or nefarious activity by examining logs created by the operating system, looking for changes made to key system files, tracking installed software, and sometimes examining the network connections a host makes. AlienVault USM features a complete integration of OSSEC, one of the most popular and effective open source HIDS tools. In this live demo, we'll show you how USM helps you get more out of OSSEC with: Remote agent deployment, configuration and management Behavioral monitoring of OSSEC clients Logging and reporting for PCI compliance Data correlation with IP reputation data, vulnerability scans and more We'll finish up by showing a demo of how OSSEC alert correlation can be used to detect brute force attacks with USM
