Features
Like other IDSes, Suricata provides threat detection capabilities. Like a firewall, Suricata provides traffic filtering and monitoring, but Suricata provides network administrators with the ability to write and enforce detection rules.[4]
Suricata is able to detect common attack vectors such as port scanning, denial-of-service, pass-the-hash, and brute-force attacks.[4]
Typically, a major update of Suricata is released every 3 months.[4]
