Summary

Logz.io has announced its official support for Zeek in its Security Analytics platform, enhancing security monitoring capabilities for cloud and DevOps environments by integrating seamlessly with their ELK Stack. Zeek, formerly Bro, is an open-source network analysis tool that helps identify suspicious activities through extensive log files, and Logz.io now offers improved integration, correlation rules, and a dedicated monitoring dashboard for it. This integration simplifies the setup process by utilizing Filebeat, an ELK-native log forwarder, to streamline the logging pipeline, allowing users to receive real-time alerts for suspicious activities such as RDP vulnerability scans and SMB brute force attempts. The platform also provides a Kibana-based dashboard for visualizing security data, including alerts, malicious IPs, and port scanning activities, which enhances the ability to monitor and respond to security events effectively. This development complements existing integrations with other security tools like OSSEC and GuardDuty, with plans for further enhancements and new integrations in the future.
