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. More soon.

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/learning-l…

Great conversations at ISSA Raleigh last night! Phil Owens took the stage to talk about Threat Hunting in the AI Era and why strong outcomes still depend on one thing: the quality of your data. “Garbage in. Garbage out.” still applies, especially in AI-driven security. That’s why building a solid network intelligence foundation matters. Without it, investigations stall, detections lack context, and response slows down. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat with us! We had a great time! #NDR #ThreatHunting #CyberSecurity #ISSA #ClearNDR

On 5/7 at the ISSA Raleigh Chapter: Threat Hunting in the AI Era. If 52% of ATT&CK techniques are observable at the network layer (per MITRE), why isn’t your AI using it? MCP, network intelligence, autonomous hunting agents plus a live demo. Learn more: hubs.la/Q042JZst0 #AIinCyber #ThreatHunting #NetworkDetection #ISSA
