MIPS Project Challenge:
RioRey sought to expand the capabilities of its security solution to optimize it to handle a greater traffic speed, address emerging attacks, and deal with spoofing and the variation of IP sources.
Project Scope:
UMD researchers improved the processing speed and expanded the algorithms of the system to handle emerging attacks. They also studied the distribution of IP addresses within an attack.
Results:
RioRey received $5 million in venture funding in 2006 and is a leading provider of protection against distributed denial of service attacks.
