Melior, Inc. CyberWARFARE Defense
dDoS Defence Solutions
After the almost-shotdown of the entire Internet by dDoS attack on October 2002, Melior Inc. in Dallas, Texas, set out to develop a *working* solution to defend against distributed Denial-of-Service attacks.
Melior was able to develop the first real-time and signature-free solution, and introduced the first product to the public at the RSA conference in San Francisco in February 2004. By that time, the technology had been proven by successfully defending 300 million users of anti-Spam blacklists against virus-induced Denial-of-Service attacks launched by the Russian mob (all users of Spamhaus in London 240 million, among them several US Federal Agencies, Governments, Universities, and Fortune 50 companies - and Sorbs & Spews in Brisbane, Australia). By January 2005, Melior introduced the full product Barbican RNP (Real-time Network Protection), covering TCP, UDP, and ICMP CyberWarfare Defense capabilities against Penetration Testing, Denial-of-Service attacks, VoIP attacks, and other junk traffic, and, based on the same, patented underlying technology, had developed a solution to eliminate Spam (UCE) at a 99% or higher rate without any false positives (neither technology has been surpassed since - and this description is added here in 2009!).
Melior has been a full member of the NSA / DoD's SPOCK program, participated actively in the FBI InfraGuard program and US Secret Service North Texas Electronic Crimes Task Force, and presented the technology to the US Department of Homeland Security, NATO C3 Network Security in The Hague, Netherlands, as well as many other relevant institutions and corporations.
While Melior, Inc. CyberWarfare Defense was very successful in developing the only working defense against distributed Denial-of-Service dDoS attacks (and successfully protected a total user base of 300 million people against such attacks), financially it was not (insufficient capital - Venture Capital has funded 10 other startups in excess of US$385 million; none of those worked out, and none wanted to make another gamble).
