Why Atomic OSSEC
Atomic OSSEC is an endpoint and cloud workload protection software system that harnesses the rapid nature of open source security operation to meet all the requirements of extended detection and response (XDR). These requirements include deeper and more advanced security capabilities than earlier-generation endpoint detection and response (EDR) systems and intrusion detection systems (IDSs), namely in the areas of protection, detection, and response, and lower TCO, for which open source lays the foundation.
Atomic OSSEC is an IDS and XDR all in one, and you don’t have to wait for your big commercial vendors to patch software vulnerabilities in order to get protected. XDR is important to achieve (over traditional EDR) because security today must go deeper, wider and faster in protecting organizational assets, into a new landscape of potential vectors and vulnerabilities spanning the internet, cloud, and the virtualized server and container environments you create and run. Last but not least, the Atomic OSSEC IDS and XDR provides leading file integrity monitoring (FIM) software and support, which is a critical function for security and compliance.
The Atomic OSSEC security solution is also available for you as part of a managed, hosted service.
