Stamus Networks

Stamus is a US- and France-based provider of threat detection and response solutions based on the open-source Suricata network security framework. The company offers network monitoring and protection solutions across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.

The company’s main offering is the Stamus Security Platform (SSP), which consolidates the capabilities of network detection and response (NDR), network security monitoring (NSM), and intrusion detection systems (IDS), providing greater visibility compared to traditional solutions and leveraging AI and machine learning (ML) to detect attacks sooner while minimizing false positives and alert noise. The platform provides detailed timelines and context on why each alert is generated.

The solution comprises network detection probes located in cloud and on-premises environments, which leverage deep packet inspection for threat detection, along with a centrally deployed server for oversight and control and additional ML and algorithm-based threat analysis. SSP is designed to integrate with an organization’s existing security including SIEM, SOAR, and XDR to generate alerts and reports or enable accelerated incident response.

The company also offers a free network threat detection solution called SELKS. The Stamus team has reportedly contributed 10x more to the Suricata codebase than the next closest contributor.

Funding and financials

Stamus Networks raised USD 6 million in an August 2023 Series A funding round led by First Analysis. The proceeds were reportedly funneled into product development and go-to-market initiatives.
