Chapel Hill, N.C., April 7, 2025 – Forewarned Inc. announces an updated version of the successful STINGAR platform.
The STINGAR v2.1 version is a significant redesign of the platform which improves the capture, analysis and maintenance of threat intelligence data for Higher Education and Research networks. The latest version of the STINGAR platform incorporates feedback from our 80+ partners collected over the past 3 years since the release of the V2 platform and adds a number of new features which simplify the management of real time threat intelligence data.
The STINGAR Version 2.1 platform contains the following updates:
- New UI – built with the latest software technology incorporating several new features:
- Improved Honeypot deployment and lifecycle management & maintenance.
- Improved visibility of threat data with a new dashboard, attack severity level indicator and enhanced enrichment.
- Improved threat data management simplifying overall maintenance of the platform.
- Updated documentation and FAQ’s.
- Updated Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) Compliance – all docker images built with support for both ARM & Intel/AMD based architectures, with clean software dependency provenance.
The update is free to all existing licensees of the STINGARv2 platform and requires a simple process taking only a few minutes to download and install the newest version. This brings the platform into SBOM provenance compliance for all components and will simplify the process for future updates and compliance.
The platform will continue to be updated with new features and bug fixes into the future. Also, look for a major new release of a cloud native version of STINGAR coming in summer 2025.
