A fully fledged Security Engine

One unified platform for complete protection

We use the open-source tool, Wazuh

Our Security Engine is built on Wazuh, the open-source platform that anchors this stack. Wazuh is the most widely adopted open-source cybersecurity platform, unifying XDR and SIEM in a single solution. It analyzes security data across endpoints, clouds, and networks to detect threats, respond to incidents, and ensure compliance, helping organizations strengthen their security posture through continuous monitoring and automation.

AskAkin layers AI-assisted workflows on top so teams can control coverage and policy, understand alerts and trends in context, and operate triage, reporting, and automation as one coherent analyst experience rather than juggling SIEM and XDR as disconnected programs.

Components

Wazuh indexer

From Wazuh (overview)

The Wazuh indexer is a highly scalable full-text search and analysis engine. It is responsible for indexing and storing alerts generated by the Wazuh server. It can be installed as a single-node or multi-node cluster, depending on the environment needs.

AskAkin hosts

AskAkin runs the indexer tier for you: cluster sizing, retention policies, backup expectations, and health monitoring so search stays fast during incidents and audits.

What the engine does

Same pattern as the Wazuh overview: a dedicated menu per area, with the active use case shown on a solid white panel for maximum contrast and readability.

Use cases

Configuration Assessment

From Wazuh (overview)

Wazuh monitors system and application configuration settings to ensure they are compliant with your security policies, standards, and/or hardening guides. The Wazuh agents perform periodic scans to detect misconfigurations or security gaps in endpoints that can be exploited by threat actors. Additionally, you can customize these configuration checks, thereby tailoring them to properly align with your organization's needs. Security alerts include recommendations for better configuration, references, and mapping with regulatory compliance.

With AskAkin hosting

  • Custom check packs aligned to your policies and audit scope—not only generic baselines.
  • Alert text that already points at remediation and compliance mapping, ready for ticket export.
  • Re-scan cadence after change windows so drift is caught before the next review.

Deployment

AkinSec deploys the full Security Engine in the cloud—the Wazuh indexer, server, dashboard, and agents as one connected stack—so your SIEM and XDR coverage is provisioned, scaled, and operated for you end to end. For how those components fit together at a technical level, see Wazuh documentation.

AskAkin hosts customer Security Engine deployments on Railway: production and staging workloads run there with the same operational discipline we apply across the product—updates, monitoring, and environment consistency—so your team gets a managed surface without operating the full Wazuh footprint day to day.
