A big step in the life of any open source project is the choice of a mascot and logo. It was a tough one, we had great suggestions from the community, and the one that rose to the top was a Meerkat. The Meerkat takes security and vigilance as a life or death responsibility. There is always at least one individual on guard, watching, ready to alert the entire organization. Very much like an IDS sensor. It is always watching, always ready to alert you to danger. Or something like that...
The logo we've chosen reflects that vigilance. The name Suricata comes from the Latin genus name for the meerkat.
Watch for this logo to be on your next IDS appliance!
