Leading Security Industry Analyst Names Syphan In His Top 6 Companies At RSA 2009
8th May 2009 Skipton, UK – Richard Stiennon, a leading silicon valley based security industry expert and analyst named UK start-up, Syphan Technologies as one of his top 6 most exciting companies from the field of over 360 vendors exhibiting at this year’s RSA Conference.
Richard, holder of Gartner’s Thought Leadership award and named "One of the 50 most powerful people in Networking" by NetworkWorld Magazine is a regular speaker on the subject of network security at major worldwide industry events and is known for shaking up the industry and providing actionable guidance to vendors and end users.
Syphan is an emerging leader in the high performance network security sector and was at RSA to launch the world’s first True 10G network security appliance designed for the growing Cloud-security service sector and the carrier-grade enterprise environment. Developed in the UK, the technology has been designed from board-level up to deliver high speed, total packet inspection with very low latency for multiple clients and millions of flows. Including several patent pending parallel processing and memory management techniques the appliance has been described as a 'generational leap' and the 'most exciting security technology to emerge in recent years' by another leading US-based security analyst.
The RSA Conference and exhibition is the security industry's major annual show case for all the world’s major vendors and industry players and is attended by over 17,000 worldwide security professionals over the 5 days of the conference.
"When I first mooted the idea of a 10G, multi-tenanted network security appliance in 2005, people told me it was impossible" commented Syphan CEO, Pravin Mirchandani. "To be listed in the top 6 most exciting companies at RSA only 4 years later is a fantastic accolade for the development team who shared my vision and managed to deliver the impossible. The whole show was a huge success for us and has established Syphan firmly on the global security map."
Writing after the show on his ThreatChaos blog Richard commented "I told the founder and CEO of Syphan Technologies, Pravin Mirchandani to surprise me. He did!"
