About Stamus Networks

Clear NDR™ is a network detection and response software from Stamus Networks that uncovers hidden threats and enables confident responses. It provides clear visibility, multi-layer detection, and automation so organizations can effectively manage their network security. This solution is designed to replace legacy intrusion detection systems and supports the deployment of Suricata for improved monitoring. Clear NDR also helps organizations achieve regulatory compliance, making it a comprehensive tool for modern cybersecurity needs. Key capabilities: network visibility multi-layer detection automation regulatory compliance Suricata deployment Best for: security teams that need to improve threat detection and response capabilities.

Stamus Networks delivers a powerful and comprehensive solution in network detection and response (NDR) with Clear NDR (formerly Stamus Security Platform) and its open-source counterpart SELKS. Built around Suricata IDS/IPS and network security monitoring (NSM), it offers high-fidelity threat detection through a blend of machine learning, heuristics, and signature analysis—enabling security teams to spot and act on serious threats hidden in complex network traffic . The software features a polished, web-based interface designed for speed and clarity. Users manage probes, rulesets, and threat intelligence through structured navigation panels and app-switching tools in the central console . The open-source SELKS GUI includes Scirius for rule management alongside dashboards powered by Kibana and EveBox—providing intuitive workflows for threat hunting and alert investigation that help bridge the gap for analysts unfamiliar with command-line tools. Core functionality revolves around NDR, IDS/IPS, NSM, and threat hunting. Clear NDR distinguishes itself by generating “declarations of compromise”—streamlined, explainable alerts—complete with forensic packet captures and full attack timelines. Its open and extensible architecture supports custom detections, threat intelligence feeds, and rich SIEM/SOAR integration.

Pros & Cons

What users like
  • +Comprehensive Network Visibility: Sees all network activity, catching hidden threats.
  • +High-Fidelity Detection: Uses AI, ML, and signatures for accurate, explainable threat alerts.
  • +Rich Evidence & Automation: Provides detailed context for quick resolution and confident automated responses.
  • +Open & Customizable: Allows inspection, integration, and even code influence for tailored defense.
  • +Reduces Alert Fatigue: Filters noise to highlight truly critical threats, saving time.
What users flag
  • No Public Pricing: Cost information is not readily available.
  • Focus on Network: Primarily monitors network traffic, requiring integration for endpoint visibility.
  • Potential for Encryption Challenges: Like all NDRs, encrypted traffic can pose a challenge unless decryption proxies are used.

Features

Key features

Clear Visibility & Detection (Multi-Layer)
Offers comprehensive monitoring across the entire attack surface with transparent, multi-layer threat detections, including AI, machine learning, advanced heuristics, signatures, and Indicators of Compromise (IoCs).
Clear Evidence & Explainability
Provides detailed attack timelines, complete evidentiary artifacts, and transparent detection algorithms, allowing defenders to understand why a threat was flagged and quickly resolve incidents.
High-Fidelity Threat Declarations
Delivers "Declarations of Compromise™" (DoC) and "Declarations of Policy Violations™" (DoPV), which are high-confidence, high-priority alerts designed to reduce alert fatigue and enable automated response.
Open and Extensible Platform
Built on an open architecture (including Suricata) that allows for seamless integration with existing security tools (SIEM, SOAR), ingestion of third-party threat intelligence, and customization of detection algorithms.
SOC Automation & Force Multiplier
Designed to automate threat response with high-fidelity declarations or feed rich network data to AI-powered SIEMs for a more complete and automated security operations center.
Guided Threat Hunting
Provides tools and workflows for proactive threat hunting, enabling analysts to explore rich network data and uncover hidden threats.

Additional features

Clear Visibility
Monitors activities across the entire network attack surface, providing comprehensive insight to detect threats that other security controls might miss.
Clear Detection (Multi-Layer)
Uses a combination of detection technologies, including AI, machine learning, advanced heuristics, traditional signatures, and IoCs, to offer transparent and understandable threat detections.
Clear Evidence
Provides detailed attack timelines and complete evidentiary artifacts for every security event, aiding in rapid incident resolution.
Explainable, Transparent Results
Shows the underlying detection algorithms and reasoning behind alerts, allowing security teams to fully understand why a threat was flagged.
High-Fidelity Threat Declarations (DoC/DoPV)
Delivers high-confidence "Declarations of Compromise™" (DoC) for serious threats and "Declarations of Policy Violations™" (DoPV) for unauthorized activity, reducing alert fatigue.
SOC Automation & Force Multiplier
Designed to either directly automate threat responses based on high-fidelity declarations or feed rich network data to AI-powered SIEMs for an advanced, automated security operations center.
Open and Extensible Platform
Built on an open architecture (including Suricata) that allows for seamless integration with existing security tools (SIEM, SOAR, EDR) and the ingestion of third-party threat intelligence.
Customizable Threat Detection
Enables organizations to customize threat detection algorithms and even contribute to the underlying code for a tailored defense.
Guided Threat Hunting
Provides intuitive tools and pre-built queries to proactively search for and uncover hidden threats, such as C2 communications, malware, or misconfigurations.
Flexible Deployment
Can be deployed in the cloud or on-premise, with an optional air-gapped deployment for complete data sovereignty.
Scalable for Enterprise Operations
Designed to scale from small standalone instances to multi-site, multi-100Gbps deployments, tracking activity for millions of hosts.
Suricata-based
Leverages the powerful Suricata engine, allowing for integration with existing Suricata sensors or deployment of Stamus Networks' dedicated probes.
Unified Code Base (Community & Enterprise)
Combines their open-source Community edition (formerly SELKS) and Enterprise edition into a single architecture for accelerated innovation and consistent features.
Improved User Interface
Features a redesigned, intuitive, and responsive user interface common across both Community and Enterprise editions for a consistent user experience.
Simplified Installation & Maintenance
Offers easier installation, maintenance, and upgrade processes, including command-line tools like stamusctl.
Rich Network Data Collection
Captures extensive network metadata crucial for comprehensive analysis and threat hunting.
