RISMAA NETWORKS PRIVATE LIMITED

In their own words

Background In today's business landscape, ever more aspects of businesses need to be on the internet. This exposure brings a rising number of threats that are growing more sophisticated and powerful. Without appropriate cyber security, businesses risk theft of sensitive data (either their own or their customers) and/or service disruptions. One of the ways to protect against threats from the internet is to deploy firewalls, which work by monitoring access. Existing solutions inefficiently use a one-size-fits-all approach to block or permit access. On the other hand, our product, Durga IAF™, the first Internet Application Firewall (IAF), uses patent-pending technology to learn about how the protected applications are used, in order to control access in a more efficient manner. Market Durga is designed to protect all internet-facing applications (such as web, e-mail, messaging and others). IAF, being a new market, does not have any sizing data. However, examining closely related markets, its estimated size is USD 800m currently and growing at 10%. Current segmentation shows 50% US, 30% EU and 20% APAC. Product Strategy Durga combines judiciously chosen hardware and custom-built software optimized to block intrusions while preserving rapid throughput. Durga’s patent-pending methodology protects applications from known threats and automatically evolves to also thwart threats that deliberately mutate to evade firewalls. It features: • On-site/cloud modes, either as an network appliance (physically isolates assets) or as a cloud module. • Machine Learning to learn in-depth about the applications protected, and thus, protect them better, faster. • Cloud Intelligence to instantly block threats discovered throughout our proprietary defence network. • High customizability and scalability while exhibiting best-in-class performance and a friendly UI. Indicative Results: With an initial prototype of Durga running at a large telecom provider in Mumbai, unwanted requests dropped from 9 lakh/day to about 3000/day.
