Port vs Wazuh

Port vs Wazuh: at a glance
What is Port?
Port now runs Claude agents end to end, acting as the user who started them.
Port's October release lets workflows create, run and archive Claude Managed Agents, stream their progress into the run log and use their output, with Port MCP access granted as the triggering user or a service account. Identity Propagation makes self-hosted GitHub, GitLab and Azure DevOps actions run with the triggering user's own credentials. Dashboards gain saved filter presets, advanced filter rules and a Board view in closed beta, and new orgs get a guided Solutions Onboarding.
What is Wazuh?
Wazuh hardens its 4.14 line while 5.0 rebuilds how agents talk to the manager.
Wazuh ships 4.14 patch releases roughly every two to three weeks, and almost all of the content is security hardening: path traversal and command injection fixes, input validation in the cluster code, connection deadlines and memory leak fixes. 4.14.10 also added memory limits for oversized rulesets and queue warnings for the vulnerability scanner. In parallel, 5.0.0 reached its second release candidate on October 30.

Port
2.5INFRA · APIS
Port now runs Claude agents end to end, acting as the user who started them.
◆ Current state
Port's October release lets workflows create, run and archive Claude Managed Agents, stream their progress into the run log and use their output, with Port MCP access granted as the triggering user or a service account. Identity Propagation makes self-hosted GitHub, GitLab and Azure DevOps actions run with the triggering user's own credentials. Dashboards gain saved filter presets, advanced filter rules and a Board view in closed beta, and new orgs get a guided Solutions Onboarding.
◆ Where it's heading
Port has spent 2026 turning its catalog into a governed place where both people and agents act. September let other apps inherit Port permissions; October carries the user's identity all the way into third-party tools and into agents, so audit logs show who really acted.
◆ Prediction
Expect Identity Propagation to reach more integrations beyond the three self-hosted ones, and more agent providers to get the same end-to-end lifecycle support Claude has now.
Wazuh
5.0INFRA · APIS
Wazuh hardens its 4.14 line while 5.0 rebuilds how agents talk to the manager.
◆ Current state
Wazuh ships 4.14 patch releases roughly every two to three weeks, and almost all of the content is security hardening: path traversal and command injection fixes, input validation in the cluster code, connection deadlines and memory leak fixes. 4.14.10 also added memory limits for oversized rulesets and queue warnings for the vulnerability scanner. In parallel, 5.0.0 reached its second release candidate on October 30.
◆ Where it's heading
5.0 is the real change: agents move to HTTPS for talking to the manager, a new detection engine replaces the 4.x analysis daemon, and every server install becomes a cluster node. The 4.14 branch, meanwhile, reads like a security audit being worked through release by release, which keeps current installs safe while 5.0 settles.
◆ Prediction
More 5.0 release candidates are likely before a final release, and 4.14 patch releases with security fixes should keep coming every few weeks; a 5.0 GA date is not stated in these entries.
