What other security software do you use with OSSEC? Or does OSSEC handle all your security needs?


I'm currently using a pre-configured server that uses csf, lfd and iptables. I plan on building my own server in the cloud.


It will only be a web server using apache. It will have php and mod_wsgi running. I know how to handle security for apache and other modules.


If there is examples floating around please point me to them.

I would take a look at OSSIM (AlienVault) or Security Onion. I think OSSEC is nicely integrated with all three of these. From an information security standpoint, OSSEC is only going to cover HIDS/HIPS and FIM. It will not cover vulnerability management, asset management, NIDS/NIPS, IP reputation monitoring, etc…

 

From a Web Server perspective, I would still look to put a WAF (modsecurity) in place on top of OSSEC for Active-response capabilities (tar pitting/throttling, redirecting, etc…)
