Session
In 2015 Victor Julien presented Suricata at NLUUG. A lot has happened since then, both in the project and in the world.
Suricata is a widely used open source (GPLv2) network security engine, mostly used as an IDS and IPS.
This talk go over the improvements in Suricata in the last 10 years and how network security remains critically important. It will cover new deployment and integration methods for Suricata like the firewall mode and the Suricata as a library effort.
The talk will also go into the challenges of running a Open Source project in an independent organization (OISF) and hopes to have some feedback on the future of open source projects like Suricata in a world that is getting more complex.
