Esphion - Network Disaster Protection

Esphion is there to detect anomalous behavior in your unique network environment - we don't care whether it is an attack that has a name and a signature or not - if it is determined to have the potential to disrupt your network we will provide you a solution to block it before it does. Think of us as a highly intelligent virtual network and security engineer watching network links 24x7x365.

Esphion is securing core networks and disaster recovery systems from malicious attacks, internal misuse and network disaster.

Targeted at the most critical IP networks and their elements, Esphion’s breakthrough technology uses proven “neural network” algorithms to detect previously unseen and unknown threats in network traffic and stop them impacting your business.

Esphion can identify worms, denial of service attacks and other network anomalies within seconds, without previous signature knowledge or predetermined network policies.

Founded in 2000, Esphion is lead by industry veterans and backed by leading venture capital firms. Today it protects Fortune 100 enterprises and major service providers and financial institutions.

"We take a different approach to managing the behavior and performance of network traffic - by deploying our neural network based technology we are able to detect previously unseen and unknown threats to the network in seconds, extracting a specific signature in real-time which can then be applied via an IPS/Firewall or router before the event becomes network impacting and a threat to your business. Our approach is highly complementary to most of the current IDS and IPS's on the market which are principally used to identify and block "bad" traffic based on a set of pre-defined signatures and policies.

Many of our customers have deployed us as an integral part of their IT strategy to ensure their mission critical applications and business transactions can continue to operate when they have switched operations to their disaster recovery systems. We are there as a robust first and final line of defense.

Others have found during pilot programs that network impacting events are just as likely to result from the way the network is being managed and used as it is the result of a malicious attack. Esphion is there to detect anomalous behavior in your unique network environment - we don't care whether it is an attack that has a name and a signature or not - if it is determined to have the potential to disrupt your network we will provide you a solution to block it before it does. Think of us as a highly intelligent virtual network and security engineer watching network links 24x7x365.”
