Athena Core

Unified SIEM, EDR & XDR for modern security operations

Athena Core is the operational foundation of the Athena platform. Powered by Wazuh and enhanced by Athena engineering, it centralizes security telemetry across endpoints, cloud workloads, and critical infrastructure so security teams can detect, investigate, and respond from one place.

Why organizations deploy Athena Core

Most security teams are forced to work across disconnected tools, incomplete context, and manual reporting. Athena Core brings SIEM, EDR, and XDR workflows together into a single operational layer, helping teams reduce alert silos, improve analyst visibility, and maintain clearer control over security posture and compliance evidence.

Key capabilities

• Centralized SIEM for event collection, normalization, search, and correlation
• Endpoint detection and response across workstations, servers, and cloud-hosted systems
• Extended detection and response that brings together endpoint, network, cloud, and third-party telemetry
• File integrity monitoring and configuration assessment for change visibility and system hygiene
• Vulnerability detection and threat intelligence enrichment to improve prioritization
• Custom rule development and tuning for organization-specific detections
• Compliance-aligned dashboards and reporting mapped to frameworks such as CMMC and NIST
• MITRE ATT&CK-oriented visibility to support triage, hunting, and executive reporting

What Athena Core helps your team do

• Investigate alerts with better context by pivoting across hosts, users, files, and correlated events
• Track technical evidence for compliance monitoring without relying only on static documentation
• Prioritize exposure by combining alert severity, asset importance, and vulnerability context
• Support daily operational and executive reporting with clearer summaries of risk and activity
• Create a stronger baseline for hunting, tuning, and incident response across distributed environments

Common use cases

• Consolidating multiple monitoring and logging functions into one SecOps platform
• CMMC Level 2 and NIST-oriented technical evidence visibility for monitored systems
• Endpoint monitoring for suspicious process activity, integrity changes, and configuration drift
• Threat hunting across historical telemetry, enriched alerts, and ATT&CK-aligned activity
• Operational reporting for security leadership, compliance teams, and managed service workflows

How Athena Core fits the platform

Athena Core collects and organizes the telemetry that powers the broader Athena ecosystem. Athena NIDS extends visibility into network traffic, Pallas adds AI-driven explanation and summarization, and Athena XDR+ uses the combined context to orchestrate coordinated response actions.
