Hi @Masesolo,

Thanks for your question! Deploying Suricata for office networks requires balancing traffic throughput, number of users, and the features you want (IDS vs IPS, logging, full packet capture, etc.). since Suricata is multi-threaded, so I think more cores = better performance. For memory, 8–16 GB RAM is usually sufficient. You can find more right here.

Ok tq for your advices bro @james1 , i will implement suricata as transparan mode inline (IPS).

That’s awesome @Masesolo , you can visit the YouTube channel for more info. Here. Though this would be the best thread to follow About the Help category , for installing or setting up suricata.
