Zenarmor
Zenarmor - Agile Service Edge Security - Instant Network Security for your Hyper-Distributed Enterprise. Anywhere. Anytime. Any Cloud.

Suricata and Zenarmor are both network-level security tools, used for intrusion detection and prevention. They use rule-based filtering mechanisms, real-time monitoring and analysis of network traffic to detect threats and anomalies within network traffic. Both products can be integrated with other security systems.

But Suricata (first released in 2009) is an open-source Intrusion Detection System (IDS) that targets larger enterprises. It enables deep packet inspection in a wide range of network protocols. Suricata is very flexible and supports multi-threaded processing, which makes it scalable for high-bandwidth networks. It's developed by the Open Information Security Foundation

Zenarmor (2018) is a cloud firewall software for small and medium business and small service providers. It's lightweight and easy to deploy and offers cloud-managed security features, controlled via web-interface.
