Below lists all of the items that each subscription collects, the actual subscription XML is available in an Appendix. These are separated out into Baseline and Targeted. The intent is to subscribe all hosts to Baseline, and then enroll and remove hosts on an as needed basis to the Targeted subscription. While this appears to be the largest subscription, it really is the lowest volume on a per-device basis. Exceptions should be allowed for unusual devices — a device performing complex developer related tasks can be expected to create an unusually high volume of process create and AppLocker events.
This subscription doesn't require special configuration on client devices to enable event channels or modify channel permissions. The subscription is essentially a collection of query statements applied to the Event Log. This means that it is modular in nature and a given query statement can be removed or changed without impacting other query statement in the subscription. Additionally, suppress statements which filter out specific events, only apply within that query statement and aren't to the entire subscription.
To gain the most value out of the baseline subscription we recommend to have the following requirements set on the device to ensure that the clients are already generating the required events to be forwarded off the system. Apply a security audit policy that is a super-set of the recommended minimum audit policy. This ensures that the security event log is generating the required events.
Currently, there is no GPO template for enabling or setting the maximum size for the modern event files. This must be done by using a GPO. The annotated event query can be found in the following. Anti-malware events from Microsoft Antimalware or Windows Defender. This can be configured for any given anti-malware product easily if it writes to the Windows event log. Registry modification events. This adds some possible intruder-related activity to help analyst further refine their determinations about the state of the device.
If your organizational audit policy enables more auditing to meet its needs, that is fine. The policy below is the minimum audit policy settings needed to enable events collected by both baseline and targeted subscriptions. The Run and RunOnce keys are useful for intruders and malware persistence. It allows code to be run or run only once then removed, respectively when a user logs into the system.
Some channels are disabled by default and have to be enabled. The recommended and most effective way to do this is configuring the baseline GPO to run a scheduled task to configure the event channels enable, set maximum size, and adjust channel access. This will take effect at the next GPO refresh cycle and has minimal impact on the client device. Skip to main content. This browser is no longer supported. Download Microsoft Edge More info.

SolarWinds SEM can collect log data from most operating systems, including Linux and Unix, though it can only be installed on Windows servers. It will, however, collect log data from other operating systems, including Linux and Unix. All in all, SEM is an incredibly comprehensive intrusion detection system for functionality and customization with powerful security tools.
You can also download a day free trial to test it out before purchasing. This free application is, in my opinion, one of the best open-source options available. You can get around this by running an open-source dashboard like Kibana or Graylog. OSSEC organizes and sorts your log files and uses anomaly-based detection strategies and policies.
If you need technical support, help from the active user community is free to access, and Trend Micro—which produces OSSEC—also offers a professional support package for a cost. OSSEC offers compliance reporting functions as well, and its log file detection methods scan for unusual behavior or unauthorized changes that could specifically cause compliance issues.
By centralizing log file storage, Papertrail provides easy access and rapid search functions for your entire data archive. The tool uses both anomaly- and signature-based detection strategies can manage a variety of file types including Windows event logs, firewall notifications, and more , and sends out threat intelligence policy updates with new information learned from cyberattacks attempted on other users.
Like other SolarWinds products, Papertrail allows you to create and modify your own rules and policies. There are several subscription tiers for Papertrail storage , including a free option, so you can tailor pricing plans to suit the size of your company. It also centralizes your log files and metadata in one location, and if it detects log files have been altered inappropriately, you can automatically restore your log files from backups.
Similar to Papertrail , EventLog Analyzer protects log files with encryption and compression protocols and requires user authentication to access the data. The compliance reports are also customizable, so you can adjust existing reports to meet the requirements of new or upcoming regulatory acts.
Those managing larger networks can request a quote on the ManageEngine website. There are several versions of Splunk available, ranging from the free baseline application—which is an excellent anomaly-based HIDS—to paid options with a variety of NIDS features. The paid versions of Splunk, which include cloud-based options, offer automated features to respond immediately to detected threats, giving them IPS capabilities.
Splunk also boasts an excellent user interface and dashboard with useful visualizations. All versions of Splunk can be installed on Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems, and each includes a strong data analyzer for easy sorting and searching through your log data. Different free trial periods are available for the different tiers of Splunk, allowing you to try before you buy.
Sagan is another free option using both anomaly- and signature-based detection strategies. Sagan is customizable and allows you to define automatic actions for the application to take when an intrusion contingency is triggered. Sagan also allows for script execution, which means it can function more like an IPS.
Snort is an excellent open-source NIDS application chock-full of features. Not only does it work as a robust intrusion detection tool, but it also includes packet sniffing and logging functionality.
Similar to how OSSEC allows you to download rules and policies from the user community, predefined rules for Snort are available on the website, with options to sign up for subscriptions to make sure your threat intelligence policies are kept up to date. The events these policies detect include buffer overflow attacks, CGI attacks, OS fingerprinting, and stealth port scans. And, as mentioned above, Snort can be seamlessly combined with Sagan for a more comprehensive open-source monitoring solution.
Another free HIDS option, Samhain offers file security functions like integrity checks, monitoring, and analysis. Perhaps its most unique feature is its stealth mode monitoring, which essentially allows it to run without a hacker noticing. The tool uses a PGP key to protect central log files and backups, as well.
