Summary

This chapter has shed light on the critical role of the Vulnerability Detector and SCA modules of the Wazuh platform. We have learned how to configure vulnerability detection with different customizations of packages, operating systems, applications, and so on. We also went through the workings of the Wazuh SCA module and how to create a custom SCA script from scratch. We learned how to fulfill requirements of the regulatory compliance framework such as PCI DSS, NIST 800-53 Controls, and HIPAA using the Vulnerability Detector and SCA modules.

In the next chapter, we will cover some important rules and custom Wazuh rules for different security use cases.
