Syphan is based in Skipton, North Yorkshire in the United Kingdom, where its research and development activities are clustered. The company provides high-performance network security solutions on a global basis via a combination of partners, OEMs and strategic relationships with service providers.
The focus of Syphan’s technology is to address the issues of security on very high-speed networks. Our central vision is to provide a solution that addresses three long-standing problems in the areas of network and IT security.
- How to provide scalable ‘Security in the Cloud’, i.e. virtualized security policies for different customers at an economic cost-point for Service Providers.
- How to deploy security on high performance, i.e. 10 Gb/s, internal networks, where data is stored. Threats that bypass firewalls are ever more present requiring protection at faster speeds than current security solutions can provide.
- How to improve detection of complex multi-staged attacks as used by today’s highly effective profit-oriented criminals.
Through an innovative use of technology, Syphan has found new ways of addressing these problems that scale to speeds and volumes far beyond what is currently available on the market.
Syphan’s product architecture also delivers other major end-user benefits including a reduction in false alarms, field updates for threat detection that don’t degrade performance, high integration capabilities for the delivery of managed services, and a uniquely flexible platform to customise the combination of security functions deployed.
A key feature of the Syphan solution set is the use of StealthTrap™ technology, which delivers heightened protection of crucial servers, not only against traditional attacks, but also against new “low and slow” attacks that are invisible to other detection systems.
