Best for Budget-Conscious, Sovereign and OSS-First Teams

Wazuh Open Source SIEM

Free, open-source SIEM and XDR you fully control

Wazuh is a free, open-source security platform that delivers SIEM and XDR capabilities: log analysis, file-integrity monitoring, intrusion detection, vulnerability detection and regulatory compliance, all self-hosted and fully under your control. With no licensing cost and complete data sovereignty, it suits budget-conscious teams, sovereign deployments and OSS-first organisations, provided they have the engineering capacity to deploy, scale and maintain it. Artiflex makes that operationally viable.

What is Wazuh

Open-source SIEM and XDR you fully control

Wazuh is a free, open-source security platform that provides SIEM and XDR capabilities: log analysis, file-integrity monitoring, host intrusion detection, vulnerability detection and regulatory-compliance content. It is self-hosted, so all data and control remain in your infrastructure.

With no licensing cost and complete data sovereignty, Wazuh suits budget-conscious, sovereign and OSS-first organisations, provided they invest in the engineering to deploy, scale and maintain it, which Artiflex delivers as a managed capability.

Open Source,
Fully Controlled

Wazuh's value is economics and control: enterprise-grade capability with no licence cost and complete data sovereignty. The trade-off is engineering effort, which is where a delivery partner earns its keep.

  • Free, open-source SIEM and XDR with no licence cost
  • Log analysis, FIM, intrusion and vulnerability detection
  • Fully self-hosted for data sovereignty
  • Built-in regulatory-compliance content

Wazuh Highlights

Enterprise-grade capability, zero licence cost

Wazuh proves a capable SIEM does not have to carry a licence bill. The trade is engineering effort, which Artiflex provides so the platform is production-grade rather than a science project.

Open source

No licence cost; full source and data control

SIEM + XDR

Log analysis, FIM, IDS, vulnerability and compliance

Sovereign

Fully self-hosted for data-residency requirements

Zero licence cost

Capability without the licence bill

Wazuh delivers SIEM and XDR functionality with no per-GB or per-user licensing, redirecting budget from licences to the engineering and tuning that actually improves detection.

Broad capability

SIEM and XDR in one platform

Beyond log analysis, Wazuh provides file-integrity monitoring, host intrusion detection, vulnerability detection and compliance content, covering use cases that usually require several tools.

Data sovereignty

Fully self-hosted and controlled

Because Wazuh is self-hosted and open source, all data stays within your infrastructure, ideal for sovereign and data-residency requirements common in UAE government and regulated sectors.

Compliance content

Out-of-the-box compliance mapping

Wazuh ships content mapped to frameworks such as PCI-DSS, ISO 27001 and others, helping regulated teams demonstrate control coverage without commercial add-ons.

Who should put Wazuh Open Source SIEM on the shortlist

  • Budget-conscious organisations that want capability without licence cost

  • Sovereign and data-residency-sensitive deployments needing full self-hosting

  • OSS-first teams that value transparency and source control

  • Regulated teams using Wazuh's built-in compliance content

  • Organisations with, or partnering for, the engineering to operate it well

What to consider

The honest watch-outs

Every platform has trade-offs. We would rather raise these now than have you discover them three months into a deployment.

Capability is free; operating it is not

Wazuh has no licence cost, but it requires real engineering to deploy, scale, secure and tune. Without that, it becomes shelfware. Artiflex provides the deployment, hardening and managed operation that turns Wazuh into a production-grade SIEM.

How it is delivered

Self-hosted, cloud or co-managed. Artiflex makes open source production-grade.

Self-managed

On-premises or private-cloud Wazuh cluster, fully sovereign and under your control.

Wazuh Cloud

Hosted Wazuh as a managed service when you prefer not to run infrastructure.

Artiflex co-managed

We deploy, harden, tune and operate Wazuh so the open-source savings are real.

Why Artiflex IT

Delivering Wazuh Open Source SIEM across the UAE

Artiflex IT makes Wazuh production-grade for UAE organisations. We architect and deploy the cluster for scale and resilience, harden it, build detection and compliance content, integrate your log sources, and offer co-managed operation, so you get open-source economics with enterprise-grade reliability and tuning.
