'Deploys and configures Suricata IDS/IPS with Emerging Threats rulesets,

When to use

• Deploying a high-performance IDS/IPS capable of multi-threaded packet processing for 10+ Gbps network links
• Monitoring network traffic with protocol-aware inspection for HTTP, TLS, DNS, SMB, and other protocols
• Generating structured EVE JSON logs for direct SIEM ingestion without custom parsers
• Running in inline (IPS) mode to actively block malicious traffic at network choke points
• Combining signature-based detection with protocol anomaly detection and file extraction

When not to use

• Standalone security solution without complementary controls
• Encrypted traffic inspection without TLS decryption capabilities
• Systems with insufficient CPU/memory for expected traffic volume
