Did you know Security Onion is built BY defenders FOR defenders?


In 2008, Doug Burks started the Security Onion project to help his fellow defenders. He is former Deputy CSO of Mandiant, former CISO of Morris Communications, and has been doing detection and response since the early 2000s for Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and several private companies in various industries. In 2010, he became SANS GSE #24:

Today, our engineering team has several collective decades of defensive experience and we use that experience to build the platform that we always wanted as defenders. In addition, our instructors use their experience as defenders when teaching our classes and our support team uses their experience as defenders when supporting our customers.


From all our defenders to all of you defenders out there, thanks for what you do and happy hunting!
