Why choose tamper?

Wazuh requires deploying and maintaining complex endpoint agents on every host, whereas tamper operates 100% agentless directly across any S3-compatible cloud storage.

Wazuh's dashboards and alert rules require significant configuration and SIEM maintenance overhead; tamper delivers instant clarity on critical data integrity.

tamper continuously detects granular changes on your S3 objects and uses AI to qualify modification severity, flagging early indicators of ransomware activity across your storage buckets without deploying local agents.

Key features of tamper

tamper stands apart from alternative solutions through complete S3 protocol compatibility and advanced cloud-native features, including:

Agentless deployment and operation

Zero agents, sidecars, or plugins to install on your storage buckets or cloud virtual machines. tamper deploys in minutes without altering existing infrastructure.

Zero prerequisites

Only standard S3 API credentials are required. Connect your buckets in under 5 minutes with zero architecture modifications or downtime.

AI-powered object change characterization

tamper uses contextual AI to analyze file modifications, evaluate operational impact, and differentiate benign team activity from malicious ransomware encryption.

Automated object tagging

tamper automatically applies custom metadata tags to analyzed objects, allowing downstream SIEM, SOAR, and backup tools to immediately recognize asset criticality and integrity state.

IOC & Ransomware detection

Real-time detection of high-velocity modifications, off-hours batch deletions, and anomalous tampering with historical data, the defining signatures of modern cloud ransomware.

Configuration posture analysis

Continuous configuration audits evaluating Object Lock, Versioning, SSE Encryption, Replication, Lifecycle Policies, and Access Logs into an actionable security score.

Key features of Wazuh

The open-source security solution from Wazuh offers the following capabilities:

Multi-OS FIM Module

Monitors file integrity across Windows, Linux, and macOS endpoints using cryptographic checksum baselines.

Who-Data Auditing

Identifies the exact local process and user account responsible for modifying monitored files.

Threat Intelligence Integration

Correlates file hashes with YARA rules and VirusTotal lookups to spot malicious artifacts on endpoints.

S3 Cloud Storage Security & Monitoring

Detect what changes,
Protect what matters

With tamper, benefit from continuous detection and targeted alerts the moment any anomaly occurs across your cloud storage.

Change detection

tamper audits every object-level event across your storage, including creations, overwrites, deletions, moves, and renames. Intuitive dashboards highlight activity trends and trigger instant alerts if mass deletions strike, or if modifications hit files older than 90 days, a hallmark indicator of ransomware encryption.

Configuration analysis

tamper continuously evaluates bucket-level security controls, including Object Lock, Versioning, Server-Side Encryption, Replication, and Access Logging, calculating an objective security score so engineering teams can remediate configuration drift immediately.

Anti-malware analysis

tamper inspects metadata for modified objects across your cloud storage. If files match known indicators of compromise (IOCs) or suspicious patterns, tamper flags them immediately for rapid incident response.

Object tagging

tamper analyzes modified textual objects to evaluate functional impact and integrity. Monitored files are tagged directly in S3 with risk classifications, letting downstream SIEM, SOAR, and backup tools trigger automated defense policies.
