The Open Information Security Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization created to build community and to support open source security technologies like Suricata, the world-class IDS/IPS network monitoring engine.
The Open Information Security Foundation (OISF) is dedicated to preserving the integrity of open source security technologies and the communities that keep them thriving. Our team and our community includes world-class security and non-profit experts, programmers, and industry leaders dedicated to open source security technologies.
Suricata is a free and open source, mature, fast, and robust network threat detection engine capable of real time intrusion detection (IDS), inline intrusion prevention (IPS), network security monitoring (NSM) and offline packet capture (pcap) processing. Suricata’s fast-paced community-driven development focuses on security, usability, and efficiency.
OISF maintains an unwavering commitment to open source communities and security technologies. As demand for security technologies grows, OISF welcomes teams or projects that are looking for a home. OISF provides business infrastructure necessary for open source projects to thrive.
