Insider Threat Simulation and Detection System
A Wazuh lab testing whether one shared ruleset can catch exfiltration from two threats that look identical: a trusted insider misusing valid access, and an outsider using phished credentials. One shared detection core, every rule proven only once live-triggered. A custom entropy-and-file-size detector specifically detects steganography, and a risk-scoring engine rolls alerts into a single live per-account score.
