Free Suricata-based threat detection and hunting platform builds on open-source legacy with powerful new capabilities
INDIANAPOLIS and PARIS, June 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Stamus Networks, a global provider of high-performance network-based threat detection and response systems, today announced the general availability of SELKS™ 10, the latest version of its turnkey Suricata-based network intrusion detection/protection (IDS/IPS), network security monitoring (NSM) and threat hunting system. The new edition, which commemorates SELKS’ 10th anniversary, builds on its open-source legacy with powerful new features that enable organizations to enhance network detection and security monitoring.
Created in 2014 and available for free, SELKS is a suitable production-grade IDS/IPS and NSM solution for small-to-medium sized organizations. Because all the data available in SELKS is generated by the Suricata engine, it is widely used by network security practitioners, researchers, educators, students and hobbyists to explore what is possible with Suricata IDS/IPS/NSM and the network protocol monitoring logs and alerts it produces.
“We originally created SELKS 10 years ago as a tool to showcase the power of Suricata, and it evolved into a complete and truly useful system for smaller organizations that don’t have the extensive budget and resources that enterprises do,” said Peter Manev, co-founder and chief strategy officer, Stamus Networks. “Believing every organization should have the opportunity to secure their business from cyber threats, we chose to invest in SELKS to help those that can’t afford a commercial solution. SELKS 10 is the latest demonstration of our continued commitment to empowering defenders with the resources they need to elevate their network monitoring and threat hunting capabilities.”
Key enhancements in SELKS 10 include:
SELKS is maintained by Stamus Labs, the company’s open-source software and threat research team. In addition to its extensive contributions to Suricata itself, the Stamus Labs team has a rich history of open-source involvement, including introducing a set of free newly registered domain threat intelligence feeds optimized for Suricata as well as the Suricata Language Server to help streamline the rule writing process. Additionally, the team has provided a free Suricata ruleset specifically focused on detecting lateral movement in Microsoft Windows environments and published a “Security Analyst’s Guide to Suricata.”
