The OSSEC team is pleased to announce the general availability of OSSEC version
2.0.
This new version is the first one with support for agentless monitoring and
include many others new features and bug fixes:
*Compiled Rules - Per popular demand, we are introducing the capability in
the product to be able to use pre-compiled rules written in C. Customers who
felt that the XML format for writing rules was very limiting, can now use the
strong programming capabilities of C.
*Agentless Monitoring - Lot of enterprises are faced with the requirement
to monitor devices where there are restrictions on Agents to be installed
either because of scalability requirements or due to the lack of the native
operating system support. In version 2.0, Ossec customers can perform integrity
checking and real time logs inspection on remote systems (such as Linux based
devices, firewall devices such as PIX and routers etc).
*New Language Support - We added support for the Dutch language in the
install
*New Log Rules Support - We added support for Yum logs and fixed/improved
many of the other rules for different messages.
*New reporting tool - We added a new tool to create and help generate
reports
And much more...
