Integrating IronSecureDoc with Wazuh

Integrating IronSecureDoc with Wazuh strengthens overall security posture, combining document security monitoring with robust threat detection and compliance management capabilities. As a result, you can monitor document-related activities, establish anomaly detection rules for document handling, and enforce compliance rules. Here’s how to integrate IronSecureDoc with a Wazuh manager in your deployment.

Set Up Log Monitoring

Log monitoring involves the configuration of the system to collect and analyze log data from various sources. This process helps identify anomalies and reveals potential threats while ensuring compliance. First, identify the log files or directories you want to monitor, such as an application log, system log, or any third-party tool log like IronSecureDoc.

<localfile>
  <log_format>syslog</log_format>
  <location>/path/to/ironsecuredoc/logs</location>
</localfile>
<localfile>
  <log_format>syslog</log_format>
  <location>/path/to/ironsecuredoc/logs</location>
</localfile>
XML

Next, edit the Wazuh configuration file, ossec.conf, on the Wazuh agent or manager nodes. Add a <localfile> entry for the log source. Define the log format, such as syslog, and specify the file path or location where the logs are stored. After editing, restart the Wazuh agent or manager to apply the changes. Wazuh will then monitor the logs, correlating events with its built-in rules or user-defined ones and sending alerts for suspicious activities or compliance violations.

Restart the Wazuh agent to apply the changes:

systemctl restart wazuh-agent
systemctl restart wazuh-agent
SHELL

This setup ensures that Wazuh captures and processes all relevant log events. Below is a screenshot captured by the Wazuh manager and a log of the activity, including IronSecureDoc.

Integrate IronSecureDoc's API

For advanced integration, use the IronSecureDoc API (if accessible) to have the Wazuh repository pull security events at the document level. Write a custom script to retrieve those events and submit them to Wazuh. Here is a sample Python implementation:

import requests

# API URLs for interaction
iron_api_url = "http://localhost:8080/v1/document-services/ping"
wazuh_api_url = "http://wazuh-manager:55000/alerts"

# API authentication headers
headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'}

# Fetch events from IronSecureDoc
response = requests.get(iron_api_url, headers=headers)
events = response.json()

# Forward events to Wazuh
for event in events:
    alert = {
        "rule": {
            "id": 100002,
            "level": 5,
            "description": event.get("description", "IronSecureDoc event")
        },
        "data": event
    }
    requests.post(wazuh_api_url, json=alert, headers=headers)
import requests

# API URLs for interaction
iron_api_url = "http://localhost:8080/v1/document-services/ping"
wazuh_api_url = "http://wazuh-manager:55000/alerts"

# API authentication headers
headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'}

# Fetch events from IronSecureDoc
response = requests.get(iron_api_url, headers=headers)
events = response.json()

# Forward events to Wazuh
for event in events:
    alert = {
        "rule": {
            "id": 100002,
            "level": 5,
            "description": event.get("description", "IronSecureDoc event")
        },
        "data": event
    }
    requests.post(wazuh_api_url, json=alert, headers=headers)
PYTHON

Run this script periodically (e.g., as a cron job) to keep Wazuh updated with the latest document security events. The script uses standard HTTP requests to communicate with the IronSecureDoc API and sends corresponding alerts to Wazuh. To learn more about the Wazuh API documentation, refer to the API page.
