Software reaches end-of-life (EOL) when vendors end standard support for a product or version, including regular security updates. Organizations that continue using EOL software face increased security risks because newly discovered vulnerabilities may no longer receive security patches from the vendor, leaving systems exposed to known and potentially exploitable vulnerabilities. Despite the security risks, EOL […]
Privilege escalation is the process by which an attacker gains permissions beyond those assigned to their current account. On Linux systems, threat actors who gain initial access as a low-privileged user often exploit misconfigurations or weak security controls to obtain root or other privileged access. With elevated privileges, they can disable security controls, modify system […]
Modern security operations need deep visibility into endpoints, networks, and cloud workloads, combined with actionable, real‑time intelligence about active threats and adversaries. Without this context, security teams struggle to distinguish high‑priority threats from benign events and low‑value alerts, slowing down investigations and increasing attacker dwell time. Wazuh provides unified visibility and threat detection across your […]
