Titan Ic Breaks the 100G Barrier for Network Threat Detection at RSA 2019

Leading developer of hardware-accelerated security analytics, Titan IC (www.titan-ic.com)
is to unveil their next generation Regular Expression Processor (RXP) at
the RSA Conference and Expo. The result of significant R&D effort, this
latest generation brings major new enhancements and doubles all three
vectors of performance, capacity and complexity. It is ideally suited to
accelerate SNORT or similar Intrusion Detection/Prevention System
(IDS/IPS) architectures from 10 Gbps to over 100 Gbps.

Titan IC has developed this ground-breaking RXP technology for the
detection of cyber threats on high-speed networks and licenses this
Intellectual Property (IP) to a number of tier-one cyber security
companies in Silicon Valley and Israel for use in products such as Next
Generation Firewalls. The IP is also available in FPGAs, PCIe Adapters
and on the Amazon Elastic Cloud and can simultaneously scan for simple
patterns or complex regular expressions.

Three Vectors of Innovation

Performance - RXP is now available at up to more than double the
performance of previous generations - 100Gbps is achievable in both an
FPGA or in a sub 5 watt block for an ASIC/SoC. At the 16nm process node,
100Gbps can be incorporated in as little as 20mm² of die
space and under 10mm² at 7nm.

Rule Capacity - RXP continues to lead the pack for rule capacity
with support for up to 2 million rules and, in this new generation of
RXP, Titan has also doubled the capacity of rule prefixes that can be
pre-scanned and pre-filtered using the company’s TCAM-like hardware.
This greatly contributes to the overall performance of the system by
obviating the need to push needless partial matches into RXP’s high
performance, massively threaded, search processors. The capacity of
these processors has also been doubled and can now handle up to 32,000
simultaneous searches.

Rule Complexity - Lastly, RXP now includes two major
breakthroughs to better enable the handling of even more complex rules:

• RXP's new "AnyPrefix" technology allows for high performance
  processing of a much wider variety and complexity of rules - prefixes
  can now be selected from anywhere in the rule.
• RXP's new "ReverseScan" technology is now smart enough to walk the
  scan through its engines backwards if that will improve the overall
  performance and match ability, and RXP automatically selects forward
  or reverse scanning.

Noel McKenna, Chief Executive Officer at Titan IC said, “Our latest RXP
Regular Expression Processor family really does push the envelope in
terms of capabilities, now customers can scale our IP to new heights and
garner even more performance for really complex cybersecurity
applications. “

100G Live Demo

A live demo of RXP’s 100Gbps Network Threat Detection capabilities can
be seen at the RSA Conference, 4 – 7^th March, 2019 on Titan
IC’s booth 6561, North Expo, Moscone Center, San Francisco.
