[Case Study] ThreatEye Offers New Twist on Suricata with Accolade

Suricata is a well known, open-source network threat detection engine developed and maintained by the Open Information Security Foundation (OISF). While Suricata has been deployed extensively, security professionals recognize that its signature-based mechanism for intrusion detection can be augmented. ThreatEye—a network detection platform that enhances Suricata via machine-learning (ML) and hardware-based host CPU offload—is designed to improve the efficacy of network security. ThreatEye is developed and sold by Counterflow AI with essential host CPU offload capability provided by Accolade Technology.
