FMADIO and Suricata:
Full Packet Capture for Deep Network Visibility
High-speed packet capture engineered for Suricata-based security workflows.
FMADIO packet capture systems deliver sustained multi-hundred-gigabit recording performance, providing complete visibility into raw network traffic for Suricata deployments focused on intrusion detection, threat hunting, and forensic analysis.
Unlike flow-based telemetry, full packet capture records every bit on the wire — enabling reconstruction, payload inspection, and long-term retention of security-critical traffic. FMADIO systems operate entirely on-premises with up to multi-hundred-terabyte storage, ensuring data sovereignty and compliance in sensitive environments.
Suricata integration — on-device and in-depth
Suricata can be deployed directly inside the FMADIO appliance as an LXC container, accessing live network streams from the internal capture pipeline. This configuration enables real-time analysis and alerting without external dependencies — ideal for fast deployment, packet replay validation of new signatures, or production threat-detection workflows.
Captured data is automatically available to the FMADIO Security Dashboard, which provides a Grafana-based visualization of Suricata events, packet statistics, and long-term system metrics, providing unified visibility from packet capture to IDS alerts.
