Is it in jira?

Hello tuutdo,


We used OSSEC with OSSIM.

My experience with OSSIM is you can't save queries and create elaborate
dashboards like you can with Metron. Metron also seems to have a better
path for integrating your own sensors.


OSSEC integration with Metron is on our wish list.

@Haruo, we haven't tightly integrated them yet, but have plans to do so in
Q1.  We have been running OSSEC for a very long time and are in the middle
of an upgrade/cleanup project that we want to complete before feeding the
data into Metron (v2.9.0 now supports JSON alerts).  Interested to hear
more about your service, feel free to contact me off list if needed.

I agree with Simon's opinion on OSSIM vs Metron.

In many ways it’s a matter of scale. OSSIM is a kind of lite version of
AlienVault, and used by them. I’ve seen people move from an OSSIM
architecture to Metron specifically to get better scaling, things like PCAP
capabilities etc. but also retain the OSSEC agents to handle endpoint and
scanning use cases, which they then feed into Metron. In these cases it was
mostly about scalability and flexibility to extend, as well as
manageability of multi-tenant environments.

In functional terms, Metron also emphasises behaviour profiling and machine
learning, whereas OSSIM is a more traditional rules-centric way of looking
at security and log monitoring.

Hope that helps you understand the difference a little better,
Simon

Jon thanks for the information.

I am indeed trying to learn both of them just wanted to get expert ideas.

OSSEC is also supported by OSSIM which is somewhat like metron. I  would
like to hear  ideas which may make metron better alternative and or
composite usage.

Regards,

Yes, I run both in my environment and they are both security products but
that's about where the similarities end.  Ossec is a host based solution
that monitors local activity with it's tree based rules engine, Metron is a
distributed solution that handles large sets of data from many sources and
a lot more.  A possible connection between the two may be that ossec
logs/alerts could be fed into Metron for enrichment, triage, alerting, and
analysis.

I would recommend either reading the documentation for both of them in more
detail, or spinning them both up to get a better handle on the differences.

Hi All,
I have come across OSSEC project and find it similar to metron. I am
confused a bit.
is anyone aware of Ossec and give some comparisons?

Regards,
