(PRESS RELEASE) STOCKHOLM, 24-Sep-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Enea, a global leader in telecom and cybersecurity software, has renewed and extended its Gold-level partnership with the Open Information Security Foundation (OISF), the non-profit organization behind Suricata, the widely used open-source engine for network threat detection.

The continuation of this strategic collaboration underscores Enea’s long-term commitment to advancing intelligent cybersecurity solutions that safeguard critical infrastructure, enterprises, and government networks from increasingly complex cyber threats.

Through the partnership, Enea contributes not only financial support but also deep technical expertise, ensuring that Suricata remains freely available and continues to evolve as a trusted backbone for network security worldwide. By reinforcing its role in the open-source security ecosystem, Enea highlights its ambition to remain at the forefront of innovation in protecting digital assets while enhancing its visibility, credibility, and long-term growth potential.

Building on its collaboration with OISF, Enea has introduced the Qosmos Threat Detection SDK, which integrates Suricata’s proven detection capabilities with Enea’s market-leading deep packet inspection traffic intelligence. This combination creates a unique software component that allows cybersecurity vendors to embed advanced threat detection into their platforms efficiently, with faster time to market, stronger security performance, and reduced development costs.

Commenting on the extended partnership, Osvaldo Aldao, Chief Technology and Product Officer at Enea, said: “Our continued partnership with OISF not only benefits the Suricata community, it also enhances the value we deliver to customers and shareholders. By combining Suricata with Enea’s traffic intelligence in our Enea Qosmos Threat Detection SDK, we’re enabling the next generation of AI-based network threat detection solutions – solutions that protect networks, strengthen national security, and drive sustainable growth.”

Kelley Misata, President of OISF, welcomed the collaboration: “We are proud to have Enea as a visible and active member of the OISF community. Open source is not just about making code publicly available; it is about building transparent, trusted partnerships that fuel innovation and resilience. Enea’s support is a commitment to, and investment in, the future of Suricata and the broader open source security ecosystem. Their willingness to stand alongside us, not behind the scenes, is what makes this collaboration so powerful. The engagement with Enea’s leadership, engineering, and product teams has been incredibly rewarding, and we are excited about what we can continue to build together.”

By extending this Gold-level partnership, Enea and OISF are reinforcing the importance of collaboration between commercial innovators and open-source communities in building the next generation of robust, adaptive, and transparent cybersecurity technologies.
