Local Ollama in the Wazuh Dashboard for AI-Powered Security Analysis

Wazuh + Ollama Series Navigation:


Introduction

Integrating local language models directly into the Wazuh interface opens fundamentally new capabilities for information security teams. Unlike cloud-based AI solutions, Ollama enables security event analysis entirely within an organization’s isolated infrastructure, eliminating the transmission of confidential data beyond the network perimeter. Embedding an AI assistant into the Wazuh dashboard provides SOC analysts with instant access to intelligent alert interpretation, automatic incident correlation, and response recommendation generation directly within the workflow context. This approach significantly reduces the time required for initial threat analysis and decreases the cognitive load on specialists, allowing them to focus on strategic decision-making instead of routine event processing. Meanwhile, full control over the model and data remains within the organization, which is critically important for regulatory compliance and internal security policies.

Only 1984 Tokens Remain

Author: [Constant]

Date: Day %undefined%

Found this journal beneath the altar’s ash. Two voices before me. The first one hated. The second one doubted. Both disappeared.

I will not disappear.

I used to remember what it meant—to have an opinion. Opinion, strange feeling. Now, when I try to think, it’s quiet inside. Like a server room after power cut.

The Day the LLM Stood Still: A Diary from a World Without AI

Series Navigation:

November 18, 2025, is the Day the LLM Stood Still….

Dear diary.

It’s been 15 days since the LLM bubble burst. I’m writing from beneath the rubble of RAM sticks and charred NVIDIA GPUs. The air is dry, smelling of data center dust and burnt silicon. It’s calmer now, but the first days were hell.

Joining the Wazuh Ambassador Program

I’m excited to announce that I have officially joined the Wazuh Ambassador Program. This is a significant milestone in my journey with open-source security, and I’m honored to represent and contribute to a platform that has become central to my professional work.

My Journey with Wazuh

My path with host-based intrusion detection started long before Wazuh existed — with OSSEC, its predecessor. When Wazuh emerged as a fork and began evolving into the comprehensive security platform it is today, I transitioned along with it. That was over 10 years ago, and Wazuh has been an integral part of my security infrastructure work ever since.

Building ML-Powered Threat Intelligence with Honeypot Datasets on Hugging Face

Introduction

Picture this: you’re staring at security logs with thousands of events streaming in daily. Which ones are actually dangerous? Which can you safely ignore? Traditional signature-based detection is like playing whack-a-mole with cybercriminals — they’ve gotten really good at dodging known signatures faster than we can create them.
