Stamus Networks Announces Production-Ready Clear NDR Community 1.0
Wednesday, September 17, 2025
The open-source edition of the company's network detection and response (NDR) solution incorporates Suricata 8 and empowers AI security operations with integrated model context protocol (MCP)
INDIANAPOLIS and PARIS, Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Stamus Networks, a global provider of high-performance network-based threat detection and response systems, today announced the general availability of Clear NDR(®) Community 1.0, marking the open-source solution's official production-ready status. This release transforms the popular Suricata-based open-source security monitoring platform with significant enhancements in deployment flexibility, threat intelligence integration, AI integration, and incident investigation capabilities.
Clear NDR Community 1.0 builds upon last year's initial beta release with a more robust architecture, expanded deployment options, and workflow improvements that make it suitable for production environments in small-to-medium sized organizations as well as researchers, educators, students, and hobbyists who wish to explore what is possible with Suricata and the network protocol monitoring logs and alerts it produces.
"With Clear NDR Community 1.0, we're delivering on our promise to provide the most complete open and transparent network security solution that organizations can trust for many smaller environments," said Peter Manev, co-founder and chief strategy officer at Stamus Networks. "As the only open source NDR on the market, and the only one with Suricata 8 and AI-native interfaces, it is uniquely positioned to help security teams experience the power of deep network visibility before considering an upgrade to our Enterprise edition."
Expanded Deployment Options
Clear NDR Community 1.0 introduces multiple deployment options to accommodate diverse infrastructure requirements:
-- Debian ISO with Desktop environment - for those who prefer a graphical
interface
-- Debian ISO without Desktop environment - for headless server deployments
-- Containerized version for any Linux environment - continuing support for
Docker containerized deployments
These options enable deployment on bare metal hardware or virtual machines, providing greater flexibility than the Docker-only format available in the previous beta release.
Key Enhancements in Version 1.0
Clear NDR Community 1.0 includes several significant improvements:
-- Production-Grade Foundation: Upgraded to OpenSearch 2.0 data lake for
enhanced performance and reliability
-- Built on Suricata 8.0: The latest version of Suricata delivers better
threat detection accuracy, improved performance at scale, and expanded
protocol coverage
-- Model Context Protocol (MCP): Standardized interfaces to enable
integration of third-party generative and agentic AI
-- New Dashboards and Visualizations: Over 400 visualizations and 58 new
dashboards for enhanced Suricata 8 network data
-- Streamlined Threat Intelligence: Native ability to ingest threat
intelligence feeds without writing custom Suricata rules
-- Advanced Data Management: New facilities to help users control data
retention
-- Accelerated Investigation: "Two-Click to Evidence" workflow that speeds
incident response
-- External Integration: UI integration with other systems via configurable
Deep Linking
-- Notification System: Keeps users informed of new releases and best
practices
Supporting the Security Community
Clear NDR Community is widely used by network security practitioners, researchers, educators, students, and hobbyists to explore what's possible with Suricata IDS/IPS/NSM and the network protocol monitoring logs and alerts it produces. Version 1.0 continues this tradition while offering even more capabilities for experimentation and learning.
"We believe in the power of open security tools to advance the industry's collective defense capabilities," added Peter Manev. "Clear NDR Community 1.0 represents our commitment to supporting both professional security teams in smaller organizations and the broader community of security enthusiasts."
Enterprise Capabilities Available
For organizations requiring enterprise-scale deployments, Stamus Networks offers Clear NDR Enterprise, which builds upon the Community edition with additional capabilities for large-scale environments with high-fidelity security and compliance incident detection, machine learning and additional AI capabilities, advanced threat hunting, and automated response workflows.

Clear NDR Community 1.0 is available for download beginning immediately, from the Stamus Networks website. For more information, visit www.stamus-networks.com/clear-ndr-community.
