About OSSEC
OSSEC is a host-based intrusion detection system that performs log analysis, file integrity checking, and rootkit detection on servers. Running your own instance means the features, storage limits, and upgrade schedule are yours to choose rather than a vendor's roadmap. In practice it rewards a little setup effort with long-term independence, transparent behavior, and a community that documents real-world deployments.
