TheHive 3 & 4 – End of Public Availability, and What’s Next

TheHive has evolved significantly since its first release in 2016. What began as an open source solution for collaborative incident response quickly became a trusted platform for SOCs and CSIRTs worldwide. Over the years, TheHive gained a vibrant community and a reputation for its flexibility, performance, and integration capabilities.

Key Milestones in TheHive’s Journey

  • 2016: Initial release of TheHive v1, focusing on collaborative investigation and response
  • 2017–2018: TheHive 2 and Cortex integration bring powerful automation and enrichment
  • 2019: TheHive 3 reaches maturity and widespread adoption
  • 2020: Release of TheHive 4 with native multi-tenancy and modernized architecture
  • 2021: Launch of TheHive 5, marking a new era — developed and maintained by StrangeBee, the company founded by TheHive’s creators to support long-term sustainability and innovation
  • Dec 31, 2021: TheHive 3 reaches End-of-Life (EOL)
  • Dec 31, 2022: TheHive 4 reaches End-of-Support (EOS)

July 2025 : TheHive 3 & 4 — End of Public Access

TheHive 3 and TheHive 4 are no longer maintained, distributed, or publicly accessible.
GitHub repositories for these versions have been archived, and packages are no longer available for download.

This change reflects our focus on the latest generation of TheHive: a commercial solution offering enhanced performance, robust security, and features tailored for modern SOC operations.

From Community Favorite to Enterprise Powerhouse: TheHive 5

TheHive is now distributed exclusively as a commercial product through StrangeBee. Backed by the same team that initiated the project, the latest version continues to evolve with a clear mission: empower security operations centers with reliable, efficient, and future-proof tooling.
