OSSEC watches it all, actively monitoring all aspects of Unix system activity with file integrity monitoring, log monitoring, rootcheck, and process monitoring. With OSSEC you won't be in the dark about what is happening to your valuable computer system assets.

Alerting

When attacks happen OSSEC lets you know through alert logs and email alerts sent to you and your IT staff so you can take quick actions. OSSEC also exports alerts to any SIEM system via syslog so you can get real-time analytics and insights into your system security events.
