At the core of our platform is the WinIDS Automated Deployment Framework, a comprehensive suite designed to streamline the installation and configuration of industry-standard security tools. We focus on the seamless integration of:

• Suricata: A high-performance, multi-threaded IDS/IPS and network security monitoring engine.
• EVE JSON Logging: Native structured event output, eliminating the need for a separate spooler.
• Suricata-Update: Automated rule management and synchronization.
• EveBox: A lightweight web-based console for real-time alert and event monitoring, deployed in two configurations:
  • Standalone: EveBox installed locally on the host sensor with its default embedded SQLite storage, with no external database or web server required.
  • Enterprise: A Master and Node architecture in which events are indexed in OpenSearch and EveBox serves as the console, which can also be deployed locally on the Master sensor. Communication between the Master and Nodes is secured with TLS certificates generated using OpenSSL.

Our Mission

We believe in empowering security administrators and researchers with automated, reliable, and high-performance security solutions. By moving away from complex manual setups, WinSuricata allows users to focus on what matters most: identifying threats and securing their network infrastructure.

The WinIDS Framework

Our latest release builds on our ground-up rewrite of the deployment scripts, using PowerShell and advanced automation to deliver a “plug-and-play” experience for complex security environments. Menu-driven installers require minimal configuration, taking you from local sensor setup to remote node initialization in a few guided steps.
