Aviatrix has joined the OISF to integrate the Suricata IPS engine directly into its data path, shifting multicloud security toward immediate threat containment and open-source optimisation.
Aviatrix, a pioneer of Cloud Native Security, has officially joined the Open Information Security Foundation (OISF) as a consortium member. As part of this strategic collaboration, Aviatrix has embedded Suricata—the open-source threat detection and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) engine maintained by OISF—directly into its platform as its core detection engine.
Operating inline on the data path across multicloud environments, this integration marks a definitive shift into what Aviatrix defines as cybersecurity’s “third era,” which focuses heavily on workload-level enforcement and utilises “Blast Radius” as the primary security metric rather than traditional, perimeter-based defences.
Driven by a unified “Contain-Detect-Eliminate” operational security model across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), this architecture fundamentally reorders the traditional security cycle. It actively bounds and narrows the operational space an attacker can reach the exact moment a compromise begins, governing every workload communication path across every cloud, VPC, Kubernetes cluster, and serverless function from a single policy plane.
Furthermore, Aviatrix is committing dedicated engineering resources to evolve Suricata for cloud-native ecosystems, granting the global open-source community access to cloud-native detection rules, multicloud deployment patterns, and performance optimisations that were previously restricted to proprietary cloud security platforms.
