Description

Suricata is an open source, next-generation Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP) system used for monitoring network traffic and detecting malicious activity. It is an evolving, powerful, and secure system designed to detect and prevent emerging threats, providing Network and Host IDS/IPS functionality. It can be used to detect and stop malicious traffic on both small and large networks, and can be configured to monitor all network traffic or restrict it to specific protocols. Suricata uses a rules-based engine to identify malicious network traffic, and can be used to detect and block attacks such as spoofing, phishing, and malware. In addition, Suricata can be used to detect and block unwanted applications, websites, and other malicious activities. It can also be used to monitor and alert on suspicious activity on the network, allowing administrators to take corrective action quickly.
