The Suri Oculus project  already appears to be a powerful solution for managing and analyzing IDS/IPS logs based on Suricata. However, there are always opportunities for further enhancement and development. Here are some suggestions:

1. Expanding Data Analysis Capabilities
Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence: Implement machine learning algorithms for more accurate anomaly detection and threat prediction.
Behavioral Analysis: Develop modules for behavioral analysis of traffic to identify new, previously unseen attacks.
2. Improving User Interface and Experience
Web Interface: Develop a modern and intuitive web interface for managing and analyzing logs.
Mobile Application: Create a mobile app for monitoring and managing the system on the go.
3. Integration with Other Security Systems
SIEM Integration: Enable integration with SIEM systems for centralized security monitoring.
Support for Third-Party IoCs: Expand support for integration with external sources of Indicators of Compromise, such as Threat Intelligence platforms.
4. Expanding Automation Capabilities
Automated Response: Implement modules for automatic response to detected threats, such as blocking IP addresses or network segments.
Task Scheduler: Create a task scheduler for automatically executing specific actions on a schedule.
5. Optimization and Performance Enhancement
Data Caching: Implement caching mechanisms to speed up access to frequently used data.
Parallel Processing: Improve parallel data processing to increase performance on multiprocessor systems.
6. User Training and Support
Documentation and Training Materials: Develop detailed documentation and training videos for users.
Forum and Support: Create a user community and technical support forum for sharing experiences and solving issues.
7. Improving System Security
Regular Security Audits: Conduct regular security audits of the code and infrastructure.
Encryption Support: Implement support for data encryption both in transit and at rest.
8. Development and Integration of New Modules
DDoS Protection Module: Add a module for detecting and protecting against Distributed Denial of Service attacks.
SSL/TLS Analysis Module: Implement functionality for analyzing and verifying the security of SSL/TLS traffic.
These directions will help make Suri Oculus an even more powerful and flexible tool for ensuring network security, as well as expanding its capabilities and improving user experience.
