Do I need OSSEC (or similar IDS) with this setup?

Hello everyone!
I am quite new in the whole servers world so please forgive me if this question is stupid.
My setup:

  • VPS
  • Cyber Panel with OpenLiteSpeed free
  • ModSec enabled
  • "OWASP ModSecurity Core Rules" pack enabled
  • Cloudflare with default security settings (no custom WAF, filters...)
  • Apps: a few WordPress sites
  • WP sites: iThemes security plugin, applied most common security practices, updates...

Do I need OSSEC with all this? Will it work "nicely" with the above-mentioned tools?

Basically, I want to implement some sort of security system that will notify me (or even better - notify+prevent) any potential breaches, DB dumps, hacks... etc. I found OSSEC as a good balance between security and user-friendliness since I am a beginner, but I am open to other suggestions.

Thanks :)

    That is why I said "I am open to other suggestions" and "I am quite new in the whole servers world". Thank you for understanding.
