About this Event

Bienvenue à Montréal! SuriCon2025 – November 19–21, 2025


Get ready, Suricata super fans and open-source security pros—SuriCon2025 is coming to Montreal, and it’s shaping up to be another unforgettable gathering of the global Suricata community!

This year, we’re also celebrating 15 years of the Open Information Security Foundation (OISF)—the nonprofit steward of Suricata and a driving force behind protecting the true open source of this powerful detection engine.

Whether you’re a long-time user, developer, researcher, or just starting to explore Suricata, this is your chance to connect with fellow practitioners, hear what’s next for the project, and learn directly from the team building and tuning the engine behind so many critical security systems.

Join us in one of Canada’s most vibrant and tech-forward cities for three days of sessions, conversations, and community-building—and don’t miss the two days of hands-on pre-conference trainings.
