Syphan Partners With Specialist Us Networks System Integrator GovAssure

30th September 2009, Skipton, UK - Syphan Technologies, the emerging name in multi-tenant network security technology for the multi-gigabyte network environment, has announced a strategic partnership agreement with Santa Barbara, CA based GovAssure

Syphan's breakthrough technology provides a high-performance platform for the delivery of multiple security services to protect networks from the increasingly sophisticated attacks targeted at large-scale network infrastructures. Described as "leap-frog" technology by a leading US security analyst, Syphan's ITC220 security appliance uses FPGA and patent-pending, multi-dimensional parallel processing technology to provide L7 inspection capability across 16 million simultaneous flows, with ultra-low latency.
Capable of supporting up to 500 managed service clients or 1000 enterprise VLANs, the ITC220 is a highly granular and extensible system, which is at least two orders of magnitude faster than other IPS technologies on the market. It delivers True10G™, wire-speed performance across the full range of security functions including DDoS, IPS, Firewall, data leakage prevention and content filtering.
With 64Gb of on-board memory, the ITC220 also maintains extensive stateful records that enable the system to track and mitigate the latest multi-vector, staged attacks delivered over extended time-periods, which typically pass undetected by existing technologies.
Tom Hance, GovAssure's CEO, said "The performance metrics of the ITC220 puts it in a league of its own. With true 10G processing speeds across the device and everything in a neat IU rack-mount format, the appliance is perfect for carrier-class network environments where large scale users and real-time applications are the norm. 10G network speeds are already a standard in the federal space and with 40G and 100G networks on the horizon, security performance guarantees for cloud and core level deployments supporting enclave protection and transport boundary services are needed with true 10G capacity; the ITC220 is the only technology that can deliver security at these sustained rates. "
Commenting for Syphan Technologies, Sales Director, Jon Garside said: "I am delighted to be working with GovAssure as our first partner in North America. We see the US government and military sector as a major target market for our technology and being able to work with a company that has a US wide footprint and an established government business division should help to ensure that we can rapidly accelerate our growth in this critical area of our business."
