Turn noisy alerts into clear action.

GhostWall ingests Suricata telemetry and transforms it into prioritized incidents, plain-English explanations, and faster response—built for small teams that need signal, not noise.

How it works

Modern detection. Better decisions.

Traditional tools generate raw alerts. GhostWall adds context, prioritization, and explainability—so response is faster and cleaner.

1
Observe
Suricata provides deep packet and flow telemetry. GhostWall normalizes events and enriches them with context for analysis.
2
Prioritize
Scoring and grouping reduce noise by correlating related signals into incidents—so defenders focus on what matters most.
3
Explain
Each incident includes a human-readable summary: what happened, likely intent, supporting evidence, and recommended next checks.
Core capabilities

Built for defenders who need answers, not noise

Practical features that reduce alert fatigue and speed up investigation—without replacing your existing stack.

🧠
Risk scoring & prioritization
Score events and group related alerts into incidents so you can triage faster and stop chasing low-value noise.
🧾
Plain-English incident summaries
Every incident is explained clearly: what triggered, what evidence supports it, and what to check next.
📊
Live visibility
A clean dashboard for trends, active incidents, and investigation context—designed for speed and clarity.
🔔
Slack / Teams alerting
Get high-signal notifications in chat. Acknowledge, assign, and track response without living inside a SIEM.
🧩
Works with what you already run
Start with Suricata telemetry and expand over time—no rip-and-replace required to start getting value.
⚙️
Tunable thresholds
Configure sensitivity, categories, and policies so teams can control what becomes an incident vs a logged signal.
Roadmap

Where GhostWall is going

Autonomy is the endgame—but it has to be earned. Early access focuses on visibility, prioritization, and explainability first.

⚡
Policy-based automated containment
Optional actions for high-confidence incidents (e.g., quarantine by policy, blocklists, or integration-driven response).
🎯
Behavioral detection improvements
Stronger correlation and behavior signals to reduce false positives and catch patterns that signatures miss.
🔎
Evidence-first explainability
Clear “why” behind every score—supporting indicators, linked events, and what would change the confidence.
🧠
Long-term memory for environments
Baselines, known-good behaviors, and “what normal looks like” so new anomalies stand out immediately.
Why GhostWall

Security teams need leverage

Alert fatigue is a response killer

Most stacks generate noise. GhostWall focuses on prioritization and incident grouping so defenders stay on the signal.

Context is everything

Raw alerts don’t help at 3 AM. GhostWall adds readable explanations and evidence so decisions are faster.

Small teams need enterprise leverage

Not everyone has a full SOC. GhostWall is designed to help small teams triage smarter and respond cleaner.

Autonomy should be optional

When containment becomes real, it’ll be policy-driven and opt-in—earned through confidence and evidence.

What you get first
Signal
Prioritized incidents with context and explainability.
What we build toward
Autonomy
Optional, policy-based containment once confidence is proven.
🛡️ Built by an Air Force cyber defender

Built by defenders, for defenders

GhostWall was created out of frustration with clunky tools, buried alerts, and systems that detect but don’t help you decide. It’s designed for the security engineers who respond to incidents at 3 AM—not just the dashboards executives approve.

I’m opening a limited early-access group for security engineers and small teams who want to test GhostWall with real Suricata telemetry and give blunt feedback.
