Wazuh and Guayoyo’s Virtual SOC Triumph

Cybersecurity approach

Guayoyo has been using Wazuh since its first version. Their original objective was to monitor a compromised server from one of their first customers, understanding the attack and protecting the server from future potential attacks.

Wazuh started to evolve, and so did Guayoyo. They showcased the new value that Wazuh was bringing with each new version to their customers, and soon enough, the number of servers to be monitored increased. Additionally, they wanted to become experts and decided to train themselves with the Wazuh training courses, bringing more value and knowledge to their customers.

The biggest challenge they had was to persuade their potential customers to use their services when they were already using other recognized brands. Thanks to Wazuh’s growth, the marketing efforts towards their blog and social media, as well as public recognitions such as the Best SIEM of 2023 provided by SC Awards, this challenge is being surpassed and new opportunities are rising.

With the knowledge from the courses and experiencing how Wazuh was growing for the better, they decided to create their own Blue team to offer Virtual SOC services. To enhance their value proposition, they decided to become Wazuh Partners, allowing them to offer more competitive rates and increase their visibility for new leads.

“Wazuh is our War Horse when we offer our services to potential customers. Their success is our success.”
