In this workshop, students will learn how to maximize the visibility that Suricata can provide in your network. You will gain deep technical understanding and hands on experience with Suricata’s versatile arsenal of features and capabilities for a variety of deployment, usage and integration scenarios. Tuning and optimizing Suricata for threat/anomaly detection, file extraction, and/or protocol detection are critical for a successful deployment. You will also learn traditional and non-traditional tips, tricks and techniques to implement Suricata and its newest features, based on real-world deployment experiences to include cloud-based deployments.
This class also offers a unique opportunity to bring in-depth use cases, questions, and challenges directly to the Suricata team. By the end of this course you will be able to successfully design, deploy, implement, optimize and hunt with your high-performance Suricata deployment.
Suricata is known as a high-performance signature-based open source IDS/IPS. As with all signature based IDS, it produces millions of security events that are difficult to sort through. This talk will show how it is possible to leverage contextual metadata from network protocol monitoring and a thread-based approach to make intrusion detection (IDS) not only alive by extremely useful.
Suricata is a free and open-source, mature, fast, and robust network threat detection engine. The Suricata engine is capable of real-time intrusion detection (IDS), inline intrusion prevention (IPS), network security monitoring (NSM), and offline PCAP processing.
Suricata inspects the network traffic using a powerful and extensive rules and signature language, and has powerful Lua scripting support for detection of complex threats. With standard input and output formats like YAML and JSON integrations with tools like existing SIEMs, Splunk, Logstash/Elasticsearch, Kibana, and other database become effortless.
Suricata's fast-paced community driven development focuses on security, usability, and efficiency.
The Suricata project and code are owned and supported by the Open Information Security Foundation (OISF), a non-profit foundation committed to ensuring Suricata's development and sustained success as an open source project.
TALLINN, ESTONIA, April 14, 2021 – Stamus Networks, a global provider of high-performance network-based threat detection and hunting systems, today announced its successful participation in Exercise Locked Shields, organized by the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE) in Tallinn, Estonia.
Exercise Locked Shields is the largest and most complex international live-fire cyber defence exercise in the world. An annual event, it has been organized by the CCDCOE since 2010 and is a Red team (attackers) vs. Blue Team (defenders) exercise with teams formed by member nations and partners of CCDCOE. In 2021 there are 22 BTs participating with an average 40 experts in each team. The Teams take on the role of national cyber rapid reaction teams that are deployed to assist a fictional country in handling a large-scale cyber incident with all its implications.
Modern threats utilize the network for a variety of activities and the network continues to play a crucial role in the overall security monitoring of an organization. From delivering the malware to initially compromise an environment to bringing in additional tools and performing data exfiltration and command and control, all of this activity leaves traces over the network. In this webinar, we’ll explore how Suricata can go beyond generating alerts to show how you can use capabilities such as file identification and protocol parsing to gain the visibility to solve incidents quickly and more accurately by enabling context before, during, and after an event.
In this webinar, you will learn how you can go beyond alerts and learn how to use other Suricata capabilities to help detect and investigate modern threats.
INDIANAPOLIS, USA and PARIS, FRANCE, March 2, 2021 – Stamus Networks, a global provider of high-performance network-based threat detection and hunting systems, announced it has launched an expanded channel sales program to help partners and their customers accelerate their response to critical threats with solutions that uncover urgent and acute risk from network activity.
The company has hired Charlie Provenza to lead and grow the Stamus Networks channel sales program which offers partners a simple and flexible way to add the company’s network detection and response solutions to their portfolio in order to provide a differentiated offering to their customers.
Few organizations have the luxury of building their security technology stack from scratch. But most of us will replace all our controls, tools and systems over the course of the next five years. So, what can we learn from the experiences of a team who just finished building out a brand new security infrastructure and SOC for a managed security services business?
In this webinar, you will hear the key decision points around what to monitor, where to monitor, how to monitor and how to staff the SOC team that went into the creation of growing European managed detection and response (MDR) service provider, Hunt & Hackett. You will learn how you can make data-informed decisions to ensure you don't have detection blind spots.
You will learn the critical role network monitoring plays in their service offering, and understand why they believe the network does not lie. With the specific example of their network detection and response (NDR) infrastructure, you will learn what solutions the team selected and their no-nonsense approach to network monitoring. And you will see a live demonstration of their capabilities using real-world use cases.
