    Overview

    This is a repackaged open-source software product wherein additional charges apply for maintenance, updates, and optional technical support. Suricata 8.0.3 on Ubuntu 24.04 is a high-performance network security engine that can operate as an Intrusion Detection System (IDS), Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), and network security monitoring (NSM) platform. It provides real-time network traffic inspection, threat detection, alerting, and detailed event logging for enterprise, cloud, and infrastructure environments.

    Suricata is designed to take advantage of modern multi-core processors and supports high-speed network traffic inspection. It provides application-layer visibility across protocols such as HTTP, DNS, TLS, SMTP, FTP, and SMB. Its rule-based detection capabilities support widely used rule formats, while EVE JSON logging enables integration with SIEM, security analytics, and incident response platforms.

    Key Features

    • High-performance network IDS and IPS capabilities.
    • Real-time inspection and detection of suspicious network activity.
    • Multi-threaded architecture for modern multi-core CPUs.
    • Passive IDS and inline IPS deployment modes.
    • Offline PCAP analysis for network investigation and troubleshooting.
    • Support for HTTP, DNS, TLS, SMTP, FTP, SMB, and other protocols.
    • Rule-based detection using supported security signatures.
    • EVE JSON logging for SIEM and security analytics integration.
    • Rule management and updates through suricata-update.
    • Extensibility through Lua scripting and supported acceleration technologies.

    Network Threat Detection

    Suricata analyzes network traffic to identify suspicious patterns, malicious activity, and potential security threats. Security teams can use alerts and detailed event logs to investigate network activity, improve visibility, and support incident response workflows.

    IDS, IPS, and Network Monitoring

    Suricata can be deployed in IDS mode for passive network monitoring or configured for inline IPS operation where supported traffic can be inspected and blocked according to security policies. It also supports offline packet capture analysis, making it useful for security investigations and network troubleshooting.
