Future Suricata contributors start small. These little shirts are a playful community moment, but this is how open source lasts. It stays useful today while remaining open to the people who will shape what comes next. Some future contributors are still growing into the shirt 🧸

Suricata powers many of today’s leading network detection and response solutions, including Clear NDR Community, which is widely used by practitioners to explore what is possible with Suricata IDS/IPS/NSM and the network protocol monitoring logs and alerts it produces.

Heading to BSides Porto? Be sure to connect with @jufajardini.bsky.social. She’ll be there representing Suricata. Find her and chat about open source security, and don’t forget to ask her for some Suricata swag. bsidesporto.org #Suricata #BSidesPorto #OpenSource #Cybersecurity

Major releases take time. They evolve through development, testing, review, feedback, and real deployment needs. If you use Suricata today, what should be improved or carried forward toward Suricata 9? Share your thoughts now, or bring them to SuriCon. suricata.io/join-our-com...

An OISF Black Hat workshop is in the works, with more details to come. For those who learn best through real traffic, rules, tuning, and workflow questions, this is one to keep on the radar. Suricata’s value is clearest when you can see it in practice. Look out for more details to come!

New in Suricata 9 and available in main, the `subslice` transform keyword creates a bounded window from a sticky buffer before content matching. Jeff Lucovsky covers how it works, with URI-ending, header-skipping, and short User-Agent examples. suricata.io/2026/06/16/s...

SuriCon 2026 is taking shape in Lisbon. Sponsor support helps make the event possible. Thank you to OPNsense, Léargas Security, Stamus Networks, AWS, and Corelight for helping create space for training, technical conversations, and community work. Become a sponsor: suricon.net/sponsorships/

Corelight is joining SuriCon 2026 as a Community Partners sponsor. Suricata often sits where network visibility, detection, and investigation meet. Corelight connects to that work by bringing Suricata IDS alerts together with Zeek network evidence. Learn more: corelight.com

At the Boston Official Cybersecurity Summit, Dr. Kelley Misata closed with “Trusted by Default: The Open Source Risk Hiding in Plain Sight.” Her session brought OISF’s open source security perspective into the room and connected it to our work supporting Suricata. Thank you to all who joined.

Suricata often enters the workflow before it enters the conversation through SOC distributions, training labs, alert pipelines, vendor products, or rules firing in another interface. To better understand what Suricata is doing under the hood, start here: suricata.io/learn/learni...

How do you actually use AI with Suricata in practice? In this webinar, Peter Manev walks through analyzing network metadata and alert payloads with AI as part of the workflow, using XLoader as the example. Replay: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuR2... #Suricata #OpenSource #Webinar

Suricata 9 is planned for next year, and development is already well underway. At our recent team meeting in Salzburg, we discussed priorities, next steps, and the work shaping the next version. Open source work does not wait for release season. #OISF #Suricata #OpenSource

Community helps make open source stronger. Accessibility helps that community grow. Juliana Fajardini Reichow brought both into her sessions with DonasSecurity and Senac São Bernardo do Campo, where she shared Suricata, Outreachy, and her open source journey. #Suricata #OpenSource #OISF

Suricata was at BotConf on April 14, with Peter Manev and Eric Leblond leading a hands-on workshop. Good to spend time in person with people digging into the practical side of the project and working through the details together. #Suricata #BotConf2026 #OpenSource

Dr. Kelley Misata will give the closing keynote at the Boston Official Cybersecurity Summit on May 6. “Trusted by Default: The Open Source Risk Hiding in Plain Sight” explores open source risk and why visibility matters. cyberriskalliance.swoogo.com/boston-2026

Victor Julien will be at NLUUG Spring Conference 2026 on May 7 in Utrecht, speaking on Suricata: 10 years later. A look back at how the project has evolved over the past decade and where it stands today. More info: leden.nluug.nl/aanmelden/in... #Suricata #NLUUG #OpenSource
