?AlienVault Open Source SIEM (OSSIM) is a complete Security Management solution. Along with the ?AlienVault Unified SIEM, ?AlienVault OSSIM is in use at more organizations than all alternatives combined. ?AlienVault OSSIM provides all of the functionality required to detect and profiles attacks and provides a comprehensive, intelligent Security Management platform and toolset. The entire solution is based on Debian's, including all seamlessly integrated tools, and the security management platform. The OSSIM project was created and is currently coordinated by the founders of ?AlienVault.

The OSSIM platform consists of a Management Server, and Sensor or “Probe”. A professional version that includes Logger functionality is also available (please see below). The solution may be implemented as a single monolithic appliance or a set of appliances in which probes are separated from the management server, and distributed throughout the enterprise.

Probes capture network and system information in real time, and send it to the central Management Server where the data is analyzed to assess immediate threats and risk, filter out false positives, and locate false negatives that other security devices and software on the network cannot detect.
