In a recent episode of Open Source Security, @joshbressers@infosec.exchange
sits down with Victor Julien, @inliniac@mastodon.social founder and lead developer of the
#Suricata project.
Tune in now! https://opensourcesecurity.io/2026/2026-01-suricata-victor-julien/

He’ll dig into Suricata’s independent history, its support through OISF, and why that matters today.
One of the best parts of RSAC was the chance to talk about #Suricata and open source with so many different people.
From longtime supporters to people discovering the project for the first time, those conversations help strengthen the project, the community, and what comes next.
Replying to @tim_lavoie@cosocial.ca
@tim_lavoie@cosocial.ca Yep, it will, and then posted to our YouTube channel: @OISFSuricata@www.youtube.com :)
Our Dr. Kelley Misata will give the closing keynote at the Boston Official Cybersecurity Summit on May 6. “Trusted by Default: The Open Source Risk Hiding in Plain Sight” explores open source risk and why visibility matters.
