Suricata on Ubuntu 24.04 with Maintenance and Updates

This is a repackaged open-source software product wherein additional charges apply

for maintenance, updates, and optional technical support. <strong>Suricata 8.0.3

on Ubuntu 24.04</strong> 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.

</p>

<p>

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.

detailed event logs to investigate network activity, improve visibility, and

support incident response workflows.

</p>

<h3><strong>IDS, IPS, and Network Monitoring</strong></h3>

<p>

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.
