# Wazuh Server
> The Wazuh server is the core component of the Wazuh security platform, responsible for analyzing, processing, and correlating the data received from the deployed agents. It acts as the central intelligence hub, running the Wazuh manager which handles functions such as rule-based analysis for threat detection, configuration management for agents, and communication with the Elastic Stack (or other SIEM platforms) for indexing and visualization. The Wazuh server is essential for performing advanced security operations like intrusion detection, security assessment, and compliance enforcement across the monitored infrastructure.
