ABOUT US
OISF provides architecture and infrastructure to open source security software communities and to projects like Suricata, the world-class threat-detection engine. As the need for robust and relevant security technologies grows, OISF serves to protect and maintain the authenticity of open source space. We welcome participation from diverse groups to generate networks and build active communities. We strengthen our communal space by offering user and developer training sessions around the world. OISF hosts SuriCon, the dynamic annual OISF/Suricata User Conference which gives our entire community a unique opportunity to collaborate together.
OISF is funded by donations from world-class security organizations committed to our mission. A list of these organizations is available on our Consortium Members page.
Our Commitment and Code of Conduct:
The Open Information Security Foundation (OISF) and the Suricata project are committed to fostering a community-centric, safe, inclusive, and harassment-free environment for everyone. We welcome participants of all backgrounds and identities, including (but not limited to) gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, and age.
All OISF employees, contractors, and community members are expected to act with respect, professionalism, and integrity in all interactions — whether in person, online, on calls, or across any community platform.
We do not tolerate harassment or discriminatory behavior of any kind. This includes, but is not limited to:
-
Verbal or written comments that reinforce discrimination or harassment
-
Intimidation, stalking, or sustained disruption
-
Inappropriate or unwanted physical contact
-
Unwelcome sexual attention or advances
-
Doxxing or the sharing of private information without consent
Violations of this Code of Conduct may result in immediate corrective action, including removal from events, suspension from community spaces, or termination of engagement with OISF, depending on the circumstances.
If you experience or witness behavior that violates this code, please contact an OISF team member or reach out to info@oisf.net.
Our community thrives when we uphold these principles together.
Thank you for contributing to a safe, respectful, and collaborative environment.
